Abstract

This article discusses some philosophically crucial issues of lives of any people in general, of university students in particular. First, it argues that to succeed in their lives, people have to have a clear imagination of their future, that is, what kind of life it is that they want to have in the years to come (i.e. an ontological issue). Such a dream, however, must be based on their understanding of their potentials or, in Howard Gardner’s term (1993), their major intelligence(s). If not, they will fail, no matter how hard/smart they try to succeed. Hence comes the second issue, that is, how people can make such a dream, which is the bigger the better, true in their lives (i.e. an epistemological issue). Knowing ones’ strengths, however, is just a part of their success stories; it is not sufficient because they must also believe in themselves (i.e. autosuggestion), that is, if they work/learn a bit harder/smarter (i.e. being total in working/learning), they will succeed. Third, it gives some reasons why it is important for people to succeed (i.e. an axiological issue), that is, success is good not only for those who succeed, but also for others, i.e., those who have been marginalised in their societies: the poor, the oppressed, and the voiceless. It is for those reasons that all should try their best to succeed, let alone university students as future leaders.

Abstract

In this article, we argue that our students at any level, that is, from primary to tertiary institutions, must have good competences concerning critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication, contemporarily known as 4Cs, namely, four major competences of the 21st Century, while they are in schools because they need those kinds of competences to succeed beyond those educational institutions. It is, therefore, crucial for our teachers, including lecturers, to always train their students in such a way that their mastery of those crucial competences is excellent when they are in schools in accordance with their levels of formal education. It is believed that having great competences as such in schools helps the students, among other things, successfully solve any problems they face when they live their real lives in their society after their formal schooling. In other words, those who fail in their real lives after formal schooling are those who have poor competences in relation to critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. So, making sure that our students have excellent competences on critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication, when they are in schools, is necessary for them to succeed in their lives after their formal schooling.
