Words of wisdom from Guru Bangsa Usahawan

After visiting the clinic today, I had to remind myself that I’m no longer young. It’s not worth pushing too hard and stressing out, even with the best intentions to help others.

Words of wisdom from Guru Bangsa Usahawan

Politics has its own rules, often irrational. Bring that culture into education, and it will harm more than it helps. Education should shape minds, not mirror the games of politics.

We'll never reach a point where everything in our life feels perfect and sorted. Happiness is about finding joy while the challenges are happening. Keep smiling and live life. Cheers ✌️

I once told a good friend who had just been promoted to a leadership position, "don't promise too much." In leadership, time has a way of testing even the strongest friendships. Sometimes, they’re the first thing eaten for breakfast.

Socrates once said: "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think." Once we truly understand that, we won’t place too much hope in teaching as mere instruction. Instead, we’ll see education for what it really is - awakening minds.

“Good people don’t always go far. But be good anyway. Keep your integrity intact.” - advice from a mentor I’ll never forget.

Leadership is not just about titles or power. It’s about resilience, clarity, and strength of mind Without mental preparation, the challenges will overwhelm you. One'll easily get trapped in the castle's maze, unable to find the way out.

We're not perfect. We've made many mistakes. Take the mistakes as lesson and the good ones as guide.

A mentor once reminded me: “If the mountain feels too heavy to move, move a stone instead." Do something small, but make it matter.

When you grow weary of running, walk instead. Take in the scenery, feel the journey. You’ll arrive all the same, but with peace in your heart and wisdom in your step.

The deeper you go in academia, the more you realise how little you know. That’s the humbling beauty of education; it never stops teaching.

Surround yourself with people who want the best for you, who would tell you the truth even if you don’t like it.

There is a quiet fulfilment in seeing the seeds you once planted finally blossom into something meaningful. That alone is enough, recognition becomes irrelevant.

Sometimes the real story isn’t in the speech. It’s in the background… quietly revealed through your actions.

When we are young, we chase what the world expects. When we grow wiser, we trust where Allah places us - even when the reason is unseen, the wisdom is never absent.

Every pain gives a leason Every lesson changes a person

It’s okay to live a life others don’t understand, as long as you are at peace.

There are two types of friends. One who talks to you in their free time, and another who frees up their time to talk to you.
