Malaysian 1st Astronaut "Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor"

Hye visitors :)

Sorry for being quite rush updating this blog. I hope you don't mind and keep reading my writing :) 

As for the third entry, I would like to write about our first man in space which is Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor. Out of more than 11 thousands of Malaysians applied to be an astronaut, Sheikh Muszaphar had been chosen based on his ability in terms of  physical and mental besides his knowledge about science.

Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar was born on July 27, 1972 and he was schooled at St Paul's in Seremban for primary school and continued his secondary school at MRSM Muar, Johore.

After that, he did his A-Levels and Bachelor's Degree (MBBS) in Medicine and Surgery at Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, India. He was graduated from the college in 1997.

Not only an Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar is also a Fellow Researcher at Institute of Space Science National University of Malaysia UKM.

" What the mind believes, the body can achieve"
His motto had brought him to be who is him today.  He was not only make he proud to be himself but also his family and also we, the Malaysians.
"I am just like you.....nothing extraordinary but mental strength plays a key role in achieving success. If I can do this, you can too. There's nothing impossible in life. Dreams are possible."

His achievements makes others especially the youth to wake up from their long sleep and open up their mind to make all their dreams into reality. The first step that we can take is, set our mind to be more positive and then starts our journey to success.

That's a little bit information about our first astronaut. Hopefully we can make him as our role model in the way to achieve our dreams. Thank you for spending your time to read my entry. :)
