Smart time management – Douglas Timothy
By: SHALFARINA SHAHRIMAN, UMP PUBLISHER
Smart time management and being optimistic are the keys to success for Douglas Timothy Tan Choon Chen, the recipient for Puspanita Caring Community Award.
He received the award during Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) 13th Convocation Ceremony held at its Gambang Campus Sports Complex on November 10 and 11, 2018.
Douglas Timothy is a graduate of B.Eng. (Hons) Electrical Engineering (Electronics) and is on the Dean’s List for seven semesters, consecutively.
On his good academic achievements, Douglas Timothy said he would fully utilise his free time doing revisions or having discussions with his classmates.
“We need to be humble and not to be egoistic. This can make us digest knowledge better and refrain from feeling already too clever and better than others.
“That is why I prefer to have discussion with friends because I want to hear their opinions. This way too will help me remember facts easily,” said Douglas Timothy who now works as an electrical engineer with a company in Kuala Lumpur.
Douglas Timothy, whose parents are teachers, said he also played basketball because it was a healthy activity that was good for his body and mind, and helped boost his confidence.
