Hello Amanda Rahim Alhamdulillah Alameen

00:00:04--> 00:00:10

wa salatu salam ala Sheriff William beaver mousseline, Muhammad Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi, wa sallam,

00:00:11--> 00:00:13

the Steven cathedra and cathedra.

00:00:15--> 00:00:17

From my brother, my brothers sisters,

00:00:19--> 00:00:22

when I teach problem solving tools and techniques,

00:00:24--> 00:00:27

I begin by asking the person

00:00:29--> 00:00:31

who has a problem to define the problem.

00:00:33--> 00:00:36

And not just define in speech, but write a definition.

00:00:37--> 00:00:40

What is the problem? Write it down.

00:00:42--> 00:00:48

The reason why writing not is important is because writing down clarifies the thought.

00:00:51--> 00:00:57

People sometimes ask me because I also teach public speaking, they asked me how to become a good orator how to speak with.

00:00:58--> 00:01:01

So I tell them that you can speak well if you can think well.

00:01:05--> 00:01:09

And you can think well, if you can write when you're connected,

00:01:10--> 00:01:14

you cannot have you cannot make a powerful, impactful speech.

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

If your thoughts are unstructured.

00:01:20--> 00:01:21

For most people thoughts are unstructured.

00:01:23--> 00:01:30

You may not realize it but your mind is the one thing as long as you are awake, you will think this thinking is not a it's like breathing is not an option.

00:01:32--> 00:01:33

The question is like breathing.

00:01:36--> 00:01:38

If you know how to regulate your breath,

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

then it does wonders for you.

00:01:43--> 00:01:45

That is the power of structure

00:01:47--> 00:01:50

of giving you breathing as an example, but the same thing applies to thinking.

00:01:51--> 00:01:59

Structured thought produces good conclusions. Structured thought produces powerful speech.

00:02:02--> 00:02:15

To give you an example of what structured thought is let me read something I wrote today. What am I friends from new young guys from UMass, he wrote to me and he said, I am a junior here and I am just starting out can you give me some advice?

00:02:16--> 00:02:24

So I said to him, the best advice I can give you is is what I remind myself which is fear, nobody except Allah.

00:02:25--> 00:02:34

Try to please nobody except Allah. Follow the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam because that is simply the best way of doing anything.

00:02:35--> 00:02:41

Remember, that people will not remember remember what you did or said, they will remember how they felt.

00:02:42--> 00:02:57

Remember that everything you say or do has an effect in this life. And in the hereafter. You can say sorry, people may forgive you, but they will not forget. And that will affect your interactions with them

00:02:59--> 00:03:00

for years to come.

00:03:02--> 00:03:04

It will affect your reputation for years to come.

00:03:05--> 00:03:16

For your part, forgive others. But remember the lesson. Learn from history, your own because those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

00:03:17--> 00:03:22

To make a mistake is human not to learn from that is a choice.

00:03:23--> 00:03:32

Remember, that reputation can be an asset or a liability. And you are the only one who gets to decide what you want it to be.

00:03:33--> 00:03:48

Reputation is not what you did. But what people experienced. reputation is built word by word, action by action, day by day, where it can be destroyed in one stroke, One wrong word or one wrong action.

00:03:50--> 00:03:51

So seek feedback.

00:03:52--> 00:04:02

Listen carefully, thank the person, act on what is relevant. be brutally honest with yourself, because only you can deceive yourself.

00:04:03--> 00:04:05

Because only you will pray the price,

00:04:06--> 00:04:23

reputation or rather positive reputation is another term for trust. Trust is another word for success. So it is important to think before you speak, because the words are momentary, but their effect lasts for a very long time.

00:04:24--> 00:04:30

Remember that it is only Allah subhanaw taala who truly forgives.

00:04:31--> 00:04:58

Seek His forgiveness, people don't forgive. So try never to do anything that is likely to require you to seek their forgiveness. Remember never to do anything were the one who did it to can raise his hands and ask Allah for justice, because the dua of the oppressed one always reaches Allah. Even if he's a disbeliever. Look at that picture. I took a picture and

00:05:00--> 00:05:07

As opposed to a picture there, of the guy who is sitting by the roadside, he is a key maker.

00:05:08--> 00:05:36

By hand, they make these keys. So he's sitting by the roads on the pavement. But he's got a white, a white cloth. He's sitting on the roadside pavement in India. Imagine that dust and grime and so on. Why would you want a white cloth, but he has a white cloth, he sprayed a white cloth. He's got all his tools there. He has on the tree behind him, he has a key shaped board saying Samir keymaker with his mobile number.

00:05:37--> 00:05:44

And he's sitting there waiting for customers. Imagine water in immensely powerful picture that is,

00:05:46--> 00:06:00

of this kid who's trying to be an entrepreneur is trying to do something with his life. Like keeps a white cloth, because to me, he knows he's not stupid, you can keep a brown cloth, which won't look dirty, but he wants something which will look dirty. So he is forced to clean it every day.

00:06:02--> 00:06:09

It shows his quality, that my cloth is white, even though I'm sitting on the pavement, by the side of the road.

00:06:11--> 00:06:52

So I posted that picture. And I said, Tell me, what does this picture tell you? What is the story that this picture is telling you. Because in that story is the key to your success. Because no matter who you are, what you do, or where you live, right the story, the picture told you in my in the blog in the comments. And then I said that remember that only action comes only action equals results. Only action can leave behind a legacy. You cannot act when your face is buried in a phone. Take your face out of your phone, meet real people, talk to them face to face, make real friends eat food without taking pictures of it.

00:06:53--> 00:07:46

What do you say about the world of the future, where machines will enslave people, and people will do whatever the machine wants them to do. Lo and behold, that future is here. And now that machine is called the smartphone. Smartphones, and stupid people are a deadly combination. Break Free. Always do what benefits others. Always give more than you receive. Be merciful and forgiving. Don't be stupid, and always smile a lot. It is sadaqa say please, because it is not your birthright that someone should pay attention to you and say thank you, because it keeps that door open for you the next time you need it. An attitude of gratitude enhances your enjoyment of life. It is about us, not

00:07:46--> 00:08:07

about them. Finally, always build bridges, not walls, build a bridge after you have crossed the chasm. Let that be your legacy as someone who made it easier for another one to overcome. Remember that in the end, we will we will not be asked what happened. We will be asked what did you do?

00:08:09--> 00:08:28

So this is what I wrote to I'm sharing with you as a example of structured thinking, as Carlos Miranda is original to enable us to train our minds. Because this is the biggest asset that Allah gave us. In every single thing, every single other thing. We are less than every other creature.

00:08:29--> 00:08:38

Everything. We can't run run as fast, we can't jump as high we can't lift as much we can't do anything as much, we can eat as much.

00:08:41--> 00:08:54

In everything we are less than every other creature except one. And that is our bridge. Allah has given us minds, which are more than anything else were any other creature, at least to the best of my knowledge

00:08:55--> 00:09:07

as users minds, that is users bias to leverage them and give us the true advantage. The true advantage is to be connected with ALLAH SubhanA wa salam ala Nabil Karim Allah Allah He was a member of try
