A letter to OWSD Members all over the world

Dear members of OWSD,                                                                                       

It is the end of 2020 and the beginning of a new year. It’s a cycle. It’s like the leaves on the tree they fall and grow back but the tree is still there always. So in reality there is no end and no beginning it is a continuum like a river as all nature is.

We have come to realize through COVID19 how connected we all are and how similar.  What connects us is our shared humanity but it is also what distinguishes apart in a beautiful way. the repeating theme in nature of unity and diversity.

The lesson I learned is the power and strength and the importance of our resilience.  What I mean by resilience is believing in ourselves that we have the power, strength, and persistence to solve our problems and help others to be the changemakers ourselves. Otherwise, nothing will really change.

“You will not fail if you believe in yourself” Ali bin abe Taleb.

Fostering curiosity asking questions, never leaving a stone unturned is the path forward and the hallmarks of a scientist, explorers, entrepreneur of being human

That is how we survived and thrived over the millennium “Give thought, ponder and reflect… “(Quran 34:46)

Seeing what everyone sees but thinking what no one has thought: that is our motto.
