Effective communication
Effective communication is part of the winning personality
and the mastery of relationships.
Communication can make or break a relationship.
Yoshiki Yamasaki of Mazda − ‘You may have the best
projects in the world, or the most sophisticated
equipment, but without good employees you have
nothing.’
Importance of thinking
Among the highly demanded competence today is the
ability to think because thinking creates new
knowledge, unveils the mysteries of tomorrow and
develops new pathways into the unknown.
A vital and essential aspect of you as a human being
is how and what you think.
Humans have been bestowed with the ability to think
both critically and creatively.
Spiritual perspective
Personal development is about achieving your
highest potential in life in this world and in the
hereafter.
Each of our behaviour has an ethical dimension; it
has a connotation of good or evil in reference to
values or criteria of judgement.
Islamic perspective
Personal development is the innate dignity
conferred by God on every Man.
Man will be held accountable for observing the moral
system of Islam in three dimensions of his behaviour.
They are his responsibility towards God, towards the self
and towards society.
‘And indeed we have honoured the Children of Adam, and
We have carried them on land and sea, and have
preferred them above many of those whom We have
created with a marked preference.’ The Quran (17:70)
