Since the time I became a lecturer, I have always desired to be a different and out of the ordinary academic.... I have wanted to be different for my students; I have avoided things everyone does and desired to tell them that there is a real world outside that is not comparable to what the course books teach. I have advised them to think objectively and scientifically, read and assess the proper sources to reach for the truth, use their reasoning skills, and read and study much if they choose to have an academic career like I did. I have also advised them to absolutely experience abroad... As a researcher, writer, traveler.... To get to know a country, introduce it, and observe th truths about it within its borders.
