INTENTION
Intention is something that you want and plan to do. Before something is done intention is the first thing that will come up first. Before something is built we must know its objective and purpose.

Ideologies:
Altruism: there are no right or wrong thing
Cynicism: all things are wrong
Relativism: all things are right
Truth-seekerisme : We have to search for the truths. Nothing's matter but the truth
Taoisme : Its not the truth that should be searched, but the lies in human should be thrown away. Then can only the truth be found.

Quality of Life (QOL)

Posted by ahmadsufian / at 10:34 AM / / 0 comments

Today quality of life is more important in this century. Quality of Life is tied to perception of 'meaning'. The quest for meaning is central to the human condition, and we are brought in touch with a sense of meaning when we reflect on that which we have created, loved, believed in or left as a legacy (Frank:1963). In the other hand QOL also one often distinguishes between the subjective and objective quality of life. Subjective quality of life is about feeling good and being satisfied with things in general. Objective quality of life is about fulfilling the societal and cultural demands for material wealth, social status and physical well-being.

In the other hand, quality of life can be defined as encompassing personal advancements, a healthy lifestyle, access and freedom to pursue knowledge, and attaining a standard of living which surpasses the fulfillment of the basic and psychological needs of the individual, to achieve a level of social well being compatible with the nation’s aspirations. When society moves towards a situation of life generally regarded as better, it is considered to have improved its quality of life.

The concept of QOL entails changes by which an entire society and social system move away from a condition of life widely perceived as unsatisfactory towards a situation of life generally regarded as better. As such the QOL encompasses not only economic development, but also other aspects such as social, psychological, cultural, political and the environment.

The Malaysian QOL is defined as encompassing personal advancements, a healthy lifestyle, access and freedom to pursue knowledge, and a standard of living which surpasses the fulfillment of basic needs of individuals and their psychological needs, to achieve a level of social well-being compatible with the nation’s aspirations (EPU, Malaysian QOL 1999).
