Ultimate Achievement

The ultimate achievement in education lies in the ability to secure jobs in the market or to create jobs for the nation, regardless of academic background. It is the ability to sustain oneself, one’s family, and one’s community. It is the ability to drive the country forward and to create opportunities for communities to live a good life, without anyone having to beg for basic needs. Make yourself busy with the truest priorities. We're all obligated to fardhu kifayah. A prestigious educational background is only one step in the journey, not the destination let alone a trophy. If you are not in it, what is your backup plan to maintain your excellence? If your children are not in it, what is your alternative? Those who do not plan are planning for failure. And to those with privilege and the upper hand have you contributed to the unprivileged? Even if it is only to some, that is when you can truly call yourself somebody.
