Wow, it’s been ages since i posed my last ‘real’ entry. Since it’s Hari Raya today, i figured that today will be a perfect time to blog again! There’s a lot of stuffs that has happened over the last few months, which i hope to share during my blog today.
First of all, Ramadan this year has been the most fulfilling in my life. In my quest to search for God, i challenged my own sincerity and managed to overcome a lot of obstacles during the course of the Holy Month. Although i believe that there is much for myself to improve after Ramadan, the past month has been much about spending time with my family and learned a bit more about Islam as a family. More importantly, my belief in putting God first, parents second in Life strengthened by a mile.
Besides Ramadan, Baby has been working very hard for SMRT. What really makes me happy is seeing her excelling in class and her being really happy with her job. Despite being with Baby for 6 years 8 months plus, this is the first time i really get to see her really enjoying her job! When i have a girlfriend who is tops in her training class, you can imagine how proud i am of her! Well done Baby and i love you so much! Continue to excel at work!
Lastly, i like to wish all my family, school mates and friends :
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN!
May God bless all of us and May everyone enjoy this festive period!
Regards,
Ayyub

For the upcoming individual assignment, we will have to develop a voice for Lisa’s sexual harassment experience while working for her company. Hence, we will need to write scripts and sort of make out the expected reactions that Lisa will give in the process.
Sexual harassment is taken extremely seriously in Singapore and despite that, that doesnt mean that it doesnt exists here. I cant help but worry for the safety of all women in the working world who have to deal with sexual harassment. The main concern is obviously for the women who does not speak up or dont know have to hanle with such unpleasant gestures. Some of the women might have the courage to stand up to tell off the men that this is wrong, while some women just dont have the capacity to react. It will be really interesting for me to create a script and i am already looking forward to it.

The 2 videos were about what emotions were basedand the following rational leads to conclusion. Kevin Roberts noted that the best way to learn and perhaps by failing. I cant disagree with that statement as i find my whole life is mostly full of such processes. One of the biggest problem i have since i was a kid is to contain my excitement or my anger. Since i am always a person who stays true to who i really am, it’s really tough to know when i should or should not release these emotions.
Kevin Roberts then proceeded to talk about having a ‘dream’ which leads to the establishments of goals and objectives of companies. It is also important for any business to contribute something positive in the world. As i have yet to own my own company or business, i wondered if the same can be applied for my own social soccer team that i am managing at the moment. Frankly, it did started out with a ‘dream’ before i proceeded to set goals and objectives on a six months term basis. After 3 months of managing my soccer team, i am overseeing several functions like financing, marketing, communicating and making any final decisions. At the same time, i delegate some duties to able partners of the team and things are looking for my team! If you are curious, please check out www.jawssc.com
The second video was about an interview with Daniel Goleman about his experience as a psychologist. I understood from him that it is important to show empathy as a great leader. By listening more from others’ perspective and then putting their outputs into ideas that suit your objectives and direction will produce a better result or performance. Social intelligence is about how well can one interpret other people’s emotions are showing empathy as well. I cant help but noticed that i do have quite a remarkable social intelligence and also a decent emotional intelligence. These are the qualities that help me to stand out as a leader in various aspects of my life so far: Love, Family, Football and School. I only hope that i can continue to further develop all of these components to be an outstanding leader one day!

Emotions certainly ran high during today’s BES class as we learnt about what are the different types of emotions we have and most importanly, how to control it. As the class was asked to pair up, Sya with my partner and Miss Suma asked one of us to go outside where she can tell us to share one secret that will definitely shocked the another! Then, the other partner will then be asked to keep asking the question why? So, i was the first one to reveal a shocking truth to Sya! The look on her face was really priceless as i could tell that she was so suprised to heard that! Hahaha…. However, Sya then recovered from it pretty quickly and started to bombard me with questions of why is it that way. Well, i really find the whole process hilarious because all of the students seemed to engage in loud conversations.
Later in the class, we were tested of how well can we control our emotions and i got a good score. I am pretty sure that a few years younger, i could possibly fail that test! BES is turning out to be fun after all!
