A talk by Prof Mohd Yunus, the Nobel Prize for Peace winner of 2006

Well i sound more and more twisted these days. It really does feel like centuries ago since i last drop a word here. But then, there's really nothing much to write about. Really. :P

Anyway, a risky and yet strategic and now fulfilling wise decision was how i set my day off :P
In my cozy bed, i was really struggling pondering to make a very hard decision based on the eternal philosophic question that shakespearre posed: to be or not to be ? in my case :to sleep or not to sleep; if not, to attend or not to attend (the talk)? (since i have a group meeting for a case study at 10 and i havnt done my slides, oo the talk would end by around 10 s well :P). Still feeling the residual tiredness from last nite, and the nite before, and the nite before that.., all these options wr quacking at the same time. The AC was chilly and inviting against any change.
Finally i woke up n decided to go for the talk, betting on my prediction on the other member's punctuality based on my experience; and time invested to find that truth :P

I was a bit late, but still made in before the talk started. And its already crowded.
(Zoom straight to the talk :P)
Well, and he walked in, dressed pretty casually decent, with a warm smile of an up/inverted arch.
Indeed it was an inspirational speech, not to mention he's a pretty funny and witty guy too. Datz the reason why the house surrendered to his charm on stage; but yet the talk was grounded by his experience and his philosophy was translated through the narration of his work. (in comparison with some of the flowery but comparatively ambigious overly general speeches by some famous people).

My mind was triggered to some of my personal experience to some ponder about the social business , as he termed it. Especially about a brief comparison of charity business and social business, and their comparative significance.
Well initially jus wanted to record a couple of my fav quotes from the speech cuz i'm still rushing for my presentation :P. And they are :
"seeds of poverty are in the institution, seeds of poverty are in the society, seeds of poverty are in the system"
"poverty should be in the museum, not in the society"

For all the poors he helped
all the women he help empowered
all the beggars he reached
all his commitment for the past 30 yrs
all the lives he touched
all the perspectives about compassionate human beings beyond money making he propagated
all the green projects that are economically beneficial to the poors as well
he is indeed a man well deserved my/ i believe our utmost respect

i'm privilege to be in the hall this morning.
i made the right choice :P
cheerio
