Good Morning from Rafidah Aziz : "raise your words, not voices"

 Here is a good morning message from Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz this morning (including the quote from Rumi) :

 

GOOD MORNING 🌹🌹🌹

May TODAY enable us to spend a little time to Reflect, Analyse, and Contemplate upon where we are all heading...personally, and as a Nation...so that our tomorrow's can be better than Today..

During Times of Poltical confusion, turmoil, and uncertainties, as also when Politics whip up Sentiments all around, we , more often than not, are literally DROWNED OUT , by the Cacophony of NOISES, and hot air being exuded...

Sanity becomes marginalised... Voices of Reason and Truth, are hardly audible, and overwhelmed, by the thunderous political pontifications and applause, of often misplaced , and misguided support.

It has been said that "Empty Vessels make the most Noise"...
AND that "often, poor leadership is Masked by those with the Loudest Voices"...
BUT always containing EMPTY and meaningless WORDS...

As the Environment continues to be increasingly Challenging, there IS the need for REAL LEADERSHIP...NOT the self- installed "leaders", (REGARDLESS of QUALITY and INTEGRITY )..or those who WHIP up that seeming Frenzy of support, with WORDS that do NOT MATCH ensuing Actions...

THUNDEROUS political speeches do NOT often REALISE , the EXPECTED,and Necessary, Service for National Good...

But , often, some DO get taken in by the loud Political THUNDERCLAPS...to their own Detriment , and others too.
 

It has also been said that " Leaders DO NOT create FOLLOWERS...but they CREATE MORE LEADERS..."
 

And it is important to be reminded, that LEADERSHIP is ABOUT BEING OF SERVICE to others..to the Nation...NOT about BEING SERVED by Others!

WE must NOT allow the LOUD, thundering "background noises", detract us from what is RIGHT.
