Walk the Talk
I was attending the graduation ceremony of Adni Islamic School at ISTAC of IIUM the whole morning today. This is my first time attending their graduation ceremony.
I was requested to talk on Walk the Talk...an easy topic to talk about but the most challenging one to put in practice. I have put this qualification in my opening remarks. The topic is already of double jeopardy.
Before I share my own personal journey on walking the talk, i touched on the culture of recognition and awarding in the Islamic community. According to my own observation and estimation, it is not easy for us to recognise others and to award them what they deserve. Hence, if we can overcome this bad habit of ours though on a small scale, the impact will be huge particularly on our young generations.
Then, I enligthened on the very basis from the Quran why walk the talk is essential in our life. It will be of great sin to preach and articulate something without having any intention and determination at all to convert those words (and writings) into actionable actions and real actions.
On the theme of walk to talk, I have impressed on 6 verticals of life which are directed towards multi-talented and multi-faceted personality. The future would require everyone to be trendy and of multiple talents and multiple tasks.
This short speech of mine is available in youtube and in my personal FB.
Congratulations to our beloved sons and daughters of Adni Islamic school, their parents and their teachers.
