How do we integrate the 6 factors and communication skills? A question to ponder.
Surat Taubat Ayat 59
وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُوْاْ مَا آتَاهُمُ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَقَالُواْ حَسْبُنَا اللّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا اللّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَرَسُولُهُ إِنَّا إِلَى اللّهِ رَاغِبُونَ
Dan (amatlah baiknya) kalau mereka berpuas hati dengan apa yang diberikan oleh Allah dan RasulNya kepada mereka, sambil mereka berkata: “Cukuplah Allah bagi kami; Allah akan memberi kepada kami dari limpah kurniaNya, demikian juga RasulNya; sesungguhnya kami sentiasa berharap kepada Allah”
( How much more seemly ) had they been content with that which Allah and His messenger had given them and had said : Allah sufficeth us . Allah will give us of His bounty , and ( also ) His messenger . Unto Allah we are suppliants .

I love watching historical dramas, either from Chinese, Korean or Turkish history. As I wrote earlier, watching Magnificent Century gave me the sadness feeling looking at how the ladies at that time were full of jealousy and hatred. The next drama will be Wu Zetian: The Only Female Emperor in Chinese History, with the hope that good lessons could be learnt from it.
“Do not give up and do not be downhearted. You shall be uppermost if you are believers” (Qur’an, 3:139)
Great leadership usually starts with a willing heart, a positive attitude, and a desire to make a difference

Watching this drama made me feel distressed. But yet, there are so many lessons can be learnt from this drama. One thing for sure is, what goes around comes around. Hurem Sultan, who was vicious, cunning but intelligent, did everything she could to gain power. Her sons learnt from her and did the same thing, fighting and killing each other maliciously just because to stay in power. What they got in the end was just their own DESTRUCTION. There is a saying in Malay that explains this situation,
Menang sorak kampung tergadai
This is a quick reference link to Bloom’s taxonomy which is useful for writing course learning outcomes.

you do it even if the odds are not in your favour.
