Choosing a research topic

A research topic is very important for a researcher. It is a topic that should maintain our interest and focus till the end. Without those elements, "extra mile effort' seem ardous and time-counsuming. This "extra miles" would make the difference in a quality research. Otherwise we would only satisfy with "mediocre' efforts and results. The difference can be detected when working with "passionate research people". I have this experience when I was working with "mat salleh friends" during my undergraduate years. This friend would try all possible avenues to gain better data that "mediocre" group would not dare to try. At the end of the day the friend produced quality data and tip-top proposal. My friend also earned recognition from parties outside the university and of course she deserved a first class hounours degree and a Vice-Chancellor medal.

This is the difference. The research means something dear to our heart and the memontum we gained should be able to make us noticeable in the field later on . I believe there is no easy way out. .
