Precautionary measures in communication
The efficacy of communication
Even though you can’t please everyone, doesn’t mean you can hurt others.
“It’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.”
Barrack Obama
To please Allah or to please …
The answer is very obvious
Rasulullah P.B.U.H said, “He who displeased Allah for seeking the pleasure of people, Allah is displeased with him and those people are also displeased, for pleasing whom he had earned Allah’s displeasure. And he who pleases Allah, although by it he displeased people, Allah is pleased with him, and also those people whom he had displeased for pleasing Allah become pleased with him. Allah makes him splendid and his speech and acts in the eyes of others beautiful.” [Tabarani]

say something nice
I need to refrain myself from saying something, unless it is nice to others
If you can’t say something nice
Don’t say anything at all
Can I really do that? BUT, there are times when you have to be cruel in order to be kind. Be direct and be honest.
Set priorities in life
Had a discussion with my dear daughter recently. She was confused with what she really wants in her life. Of course, everyone wants to get the best in this life. Unfortunately, we are not entitled for all the best in this world. So, we have to set priorities in our life.
Know your priorities and how to keep them straight

Leadership Talk Series with Professor Datuk Ir Dr Wahid Omar on 19 January 2021
In the talk given by Professor Datuk Ir Dr Wahid Omar, one that intrigues me is ‘jangan sampai integrity kita tercalar, macam kertas kalau diroyok takkan kembali seperti asal’
Absolutely true, trust is difficult to gain but easy to destroy.
