Class of 2011- CEO Address
Al Mawakeb… The English translation on the screen does not do it justice…
I thought about the name long and marveled at the capability of our Arabic language…how much meaning can go into one word… how much emotion can be packed into that meaning… The translation you saw, showed something like generations moving together or generations in motions … that explanation captures the mechanics of the word, but the essence is lost… think with me... it is much deeper… is it not? There is connection among those moving…there is a common ground… there is a higher purpose…
