Muhammad Alshareef – Who’s Driving Your Car

			Imagine a car that's just driving, there's no driver, you know, somebody just locked in the, in the
gas and it's moving forward, what will happen to that car, the car will crash over the over the
bridge.
		

			Okay? You agree with that. Here's the problem though the car is not empty, it has people in it. It
has people in it, the community is in the backseat.
		

			And now I have a principle that says, if you have no driver, if you have no leader, you have no
strategy, you have no intelligence in how the thing is moving forward, then shape on is the driver.
		

			Say pawn is the one who's leading things and I can give you 1000 examples of that, of how we sit
back. And you know, this unity beliefs are just promoting this issue. And that issue, and society
changes and laws are being implemented. And you're losing your children from underneath you left,
right and center decision of strategy.
		

			But in conclusion,
		

			here is one major strategy lesson that I learned. And I hope inshallah Tada, maybe it will hit some
years and hit some hearts, one of the biggest mistakes in strategy is trying to do everything.
		

			Ultimately, by trying to do everything, you're doing nothing.
		

			And that's human nature. I even call it a dragon, because it destroys the lives of people, that they
never achieve anything in their life, because they say I have to do everything.
		

			And I'll say then you're doomed to do nothing, if that's going to be the case. But what if one
person for example, is responsible for orphans one person is example responsible for new muscles on
person example is responsible for Halal chicken, one person is responsible for the education of, you
know, the the seniors in the community now the person responsible for you know, those who are
handicapped in need in the community know the person responsible for, you know, outreach to the
other faiths in the community, you know, the person responsible, everybody just says, You know what,
I'll take care of this. This is what I'll do, and I'll do it with that said, I'm not responsible for
		

			anything else. If you need my help for anything, don't call me because I'm focused on what I'm
doing. And inshallah Tada, I hope the best. So when somebody comes to me and says, brother,
Mohammed, don't you see, you know, XY and Z problems in the community? And, and they're mad at me
and I'm like, we're doing something. How about you?
		

			The community needs more than your whining and complaining, and needs you to actually, you know,
buckle up and go for a ride and get some focus and do something for this day. And if only this
attitude continued, just take one slice, the smaller the slice, the more you focus on it, do
something that you love to do, but do get sad, and you'll see the whole community flourishing and
benefit with strategy from all different directions.
