關於 teacher friend meaning ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

Thank you so much for including me in #scmp in a recent #healthandwellness article about #handstand and its benefits. Those who know me know that I love going upside down and I sometimes joke that I can balance on my hands better than in a #treepose 😅

In fact, handstand according to yoga is called #adhomukhavrksasana or downward facing tree pose, meaning handstand is like a tree pose but upside down - the body should be aligned in a straight line. It’s a great pose to improve #corestrength, #focus and to #conqueryourfears , not to mention to keep you youthful.

It is a privilege to share my passion in class but it’s also great to share it on other media. Please check out @steve.pilot from the same article who offers lots of tips on handstand.

Who wants some videos on tips on handstand? 🙋🏻‍♂️ 🙋‍♀️ in comments below if you do.

The Lost of the Father of Islamic Finance Shariah Scholars

I have heard about his death this morning. I didnt want to believe it. I have checked with many other colleagues overseas. I am sad the news is true.

I felt very sad. Very sad. No one has ever left the Shariah finger print on my Shariah personality as much as he did.

I met with him for the first time in Labuan circa 1995. He needed my help to translate his paper into English. I went to his room and I was so nervous. I was 31 years old then and he was one of the great scholars of Islamic finance on this planet. I spent two hours with him. We spent 30 minutes on the paper and the rest we talked about life. He embraced me in his world of Islamic finance. I felt strongly that I must follow his footsteps.

Not long after that, I was invited to join many Shariah Boards together with him such as Dow Jones Islamic Market Index, Noor Bank, BNP Paribas (Bahrain), AAOIFI, Dubai Bank, Unicorn Bank (Bahrain), Guidancd Financial (USA), etc. It was always fulfillig and insightful to learn from his great knowledge and wisdom.

I also learnt from him in great deal the real meaning of simplicity and humility. He is known for this character. I dont know how to describe this character in words.

On one occasion, I was chairing one meeting and he was one of the members. I have pronounced one word in Arabic wrongly. He was sitting next to me. He brought down his face to my shoulder and made that important correction quietly and subtly without anyone else noticing. He was so examplary. I always told this story to many upbecoming scholars in Islamic finance: be humble in all conditions.

He has passed away. He brought with him tons of knowledge to the graveyard. He is a true scholar in knowledge and attitude.

May I ask everyone of you - wherever you are - to pray for his soul. When he was living amongst us, he is so resourcefull and soul-full.

He is my teacher & my mentor. He is also my friend & inspiring board members in many Shariah Boards of the world. He lives at the airports more than his residence.

May Allah the Almighty bless his soul & grant sabr to his family.

WERE YOU A WEIRD KID TOO?
A lovely old friend who knew me from primary school shared that I'd always been a... different kind of kid. As many of you here were!
I wrote poems about the Japanese Occupation in Primary 2, and was constantly creating clubs for all things whimsical. Faeries. Mermaids. The Romanovs (lol). Princesses. She's always been someone whose opinion I respected, so I was touched to hear that she thought this.

But then, also... I remember being ostracised by other kids at school for being different. One of the phrases consistently used by most of my teachers to refer to me was "airy fairy". "up in the clouds". I was WARNED to try and be less so, by a well meaning teacher, who told me the staffroom had been talking about me. I remember always feeling like a heart shaped peg made to fit into a square hole. I'm sure many of us felt this way.

I treasure the rare, perceptive few teachers who understood this simple truth: that different kids have different strengths.
Was tasked to create a project about the heliocentric model of the universe. Wrote a ditty about Copernicus. My physics teacher played it proudly for the class & featured it in the science fair. In uni, was tasked to write projections about the future of genetics. Turned in a dystopian novella. My biomolecular science prof sent a copy to the whole class to read. And my humanities teachers & profs always made us arts kids feel like we were seen & acknowledged & RESPECTED, in a system that often didn't.

What I'm trying to say is: encourage kids to thrive in the way they do best. Don't stifle creativity and don't write off innovative imagination as impracticality or dysfunction. Our world is going to need a GENERATION of unique thinkers to creatively problem-solve the world we've left for them to inherit. Today's dreamer may become tomorrow's pioneer, or humanitarian, or healer, or world leader, or tech genius. Or maybe even... mermaid flunkey? 😂you never know. You really never know.
