Do not lose hope, nor be sad
When you keep talking about your problems, others might find you very negative. Nonetheless, when you keep talking about your joys, others might get irritated. The best is to follow Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.), that is, to be moderate and talk less.
Talking about our problem is our greatest addiction. Break the habit. Talk about your joys.

I got a quote shared by my old friend, who was my classmate. The beautiful quote reminds me of the posting I made on spotlight stealer. Maybe getting attention from others is the human nature which is hard to get rid off.
We should be lifting each other up,
and cheering one another on.
Not trying to outshine,
or one up each other.
The sky would be awfully dark with only one star.

There are 3 interesting news. The first one, of course, UTM will be the vaccination centre and it is welcomed by all UTM communities. Secondly, the action against those who post suicide videos. We wait for the public’s reaction on this issue. Lastly, 263 citizens can perform haj this year. The number is way too low from the usual. Those who are selected this year must be the very fortunate ones and may Allah bless them.
I stumbled across a nice quote while reading a student’s thesis.
All words are pegs to hang ideas on

How debate can make us disagree productively:
Data doesn’t change behaviour, but emotions do.
Data never speaks for itself, that is why you need stories to go with the data.
Don’t wait for a perfect story. Take your story and make it perfect.
This is something new to me. Basically, Melinda Epler stresses the way forward to build a better team, in which the team members support each other. I agree with her, it is more essential to create allies in an organisation rather than competitors. Competition will drive employees to be more self-centred and for allies, on the other hand, what matters is contribution.
This is very interesting, the talk is on how to change people’s behaviour using technology and design. What is moral and immoral persuasion? How ethical can we be in persuading others through our design?
