My son is a very intelligent person, but holds himself back because of his fears. So I taught him this:
"What we cannot reach flying we must reach limping;
The Book tells us it is no sin to limp"
- Sigmund Freud, quoting the Maqaamaat of Al-Hariri
Success doesn't come from talent or intelligence. It comes from PERSISTENCE. From staying in the game and getting to the goal even of you have to limp.
Aside from persistence, I taught him 6 other Principles for Success that I have learned and applied over my lifetime.

Are we squandering the incredible potential of our children? 🤔 18:52

לפני 26 weeks18:52

18:52

When kids are born, their minds are like supercomputers—bursting with creativity, curiosity, and boundless imagination. But what do we do with this gift? We send them to school, where, over time, that unique spark of creativity is often dulled. Instead of nurturing their innovative minds, we train them to conform, follow instructions, and absorb information passively. In this thought-provoking video, we dive deep into how modern education systems might be stifling the very genius they're meant to cultivate. How can we rethink education to preserve and enhance the natural creativity of our future leaders and innovators? Let’s explore together. 🌟 💬 Share your thoughts in the comments: Do you think schools need to change to better support creativity?

After 25 years of public speaking, I've developed 3 rules that I swear by. In this video, I’ll share them with you and show you why Shakespeare—yes, that Shakespeare—can teach us all a thing or two about captivating an audience. Together, we’ll dive into the Mark Antony speech, break it down, and uncover the timeless lessons it holds for anyone looking to improve their communication skills. If business and career success matter to you, it’s time to level up your public speaking.

Confident Leaders or Entitled Brats 16:05

“Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying, too zealously, to make it easy for them.” ~ von Goethe The tragedy of the Western world, is that they don't believe they can learn anything from non-Western cultures. And it starts with children, and how they are brought up. This is according to Professor Robert Epstein, renowned American psychologist. The rise and fall of civilizations bears witness to this. Yet, with small changes, massive changes can be made. I discuss 3 tips for producing confident leaders, not entitled brats.

Can Muslims, Jews and Christians Create a Culture of Tolerance? 20:47

According to a book I read recently, the answer to the question in the title is: Yes! It's not only that they can, but they actually did! I review the book "Ornament of the World" by Maria Rosa Menocal, where she describes life in Al Andalusia, in Medical Spain, under the Umayyad Dynasty. She describes the immense wealth of Al Andalusia, its dazzling architecture, its world-class universities, and its massive libraries. But most important for me, the book describes a culture of peace, tolerance and coexistence between people of the three great faiths, that seems alien to us today.

How can empathy destroy you? Isn't it a good thing to have, as a human being? Yes, it is. It's what makes us human, what keeps us civilized and sane. Without it, we are simply self-centred, stone-hearted savages. If you look at the world around you and you see all the pain and suffering: poverty, oppression, exploitation, unjust wars, destruction of innocents. And you feel every hardship as your own, then congratulations! You are human. Keep in touch with me, Tik Tok Instagram Facebook X Linked In Thanks for listening!…

Keep them Dumb to Control Them 9:42

לפני 35 weeks9:42

9:42

We know that the modern schooling system has its flaws. But I maintain that it is more than just a mundane yet flawed system: It is, in fact, a harmful system that has some very ominous objectives. If you look into history of the schooling system, you will see that it was designed to produce simple, obedient factory workers, not thinkers and scholars. It is designed to keep kids ignorant by HATING learning. How so? 1. By teaching subjects that are irrelevant to life and work. 2. By making learning so boring that kids end up demotivated and hating learning. 3. By providing a skewed understanding of the world that promotes obedience to certain masters. The key to success in the future is in learning, and it's our responsibility to ensure that our kids love learning. How? 1. Establish a learning culture at home 2. Find interesting and relevant subjects to explore with them, like tech and AI. 3. Use technology as part of the learning process.

I want to give away my Super Power 12:53

לפני 37 weeks12:53

12:53

My super power is the ability to see opportunities that technology provides in pretty much any industry. In the past 8 weeks I've spoken at a bank, an educational conference, a Halaal food conference and a conference for religious leaders. Naturally, people wonder how I can speak at such a diverse range of places, to such diverse people. As much as I'd like to think so, I'm not all that amazing. I simply follow a set of rules to identify these opportunities: 1. Critical Thinking: I look at everything form a perspective of: "How can I make it better" 2. Change mindset: Rather than being scared of change, I see it as an opportunity for growth and profit 3. Chunking: I take the time to break down complex problems into smaller, manageable chunks. 4. Creativity: next, I apply my creativity to solving these smaller problem chinks. 5. Collaboration: I know my weaknesses, so I bring on others who are better than me, and work WITH them. 6. Communication: You can have the best ideas and solutions, but if you cannot communicate them, they will remain in your head. READ MY BOOK HERE: https://itvarsity.org/snags-to-riches/snags-to-riches/ All of these skills are included in IT varsity's new accredited online curriculum for school learners.

Every child is a great leader in the making. It is up to us, the parents and teachers, to shape the child. And we can do this correctly, or in a way that has disastrous consequences, both for the child and society. No one says it like the Zulu people: there is an old isiZulu saying that "the bull is among the calves", which means that among any group of children, there are leaders waiting to emerge.

The Teenage Myth: Time to treat them like Adult 22:28

לפני 43 weeks22:28

22:28

I am always amazed at the intellectual potential of young people. That's why I challenge modern assumptions about adolescence. Where did the concept of "teenagers" come from, and why were teens in pre-industrial societies treated as adults? I believe it's the colonial legacy that shaped today’s views. It’s time to rethink how we engage with teenagers and equip them with the skills and respect they deserve as emerging adults.

It's about being brave and having faith when month-end is coming, and there's no money on the bank. None of that is easy. And none of that can be taught form books or at university.
