In leadership, it's not your title that defines your effectiveness. It’s your unwavering commitment to helping others succeed. Too many think leadership is something you earn with a title or by directing a team. But real leadership isn’t about authority or power—it’s about empowering others to grow. A quote by John Maxwell reminds me of this every day: “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” If you can inspire someone to believe in their potential, if you care enough to guide others when they doubt themselves—you’re already leading. True leadership is about making those around you better, and that’s something anyone can do. What’s one way you’ve helped someone succeed recently? Let’s share and celebrate these small, but powerful acts of leadership.

🌍 World First Aid Day: Be a Hero and Learn First Aid! 🦸♂️ The 14th of September marked "World First Aid Day" and at Malas Foundation, we believe that anyone can be a hero by learning first aid. This year’s theme, "𝐁𝐞 𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐢𝐝," reminds us that the ability to save lives is within our reach—whether at home, work, or in our communities. 🟢 The symbol of first aid, the cross, has been a recognized emblem of medical care and protection since the Geneva Convention of 1864. It signifies hope and safety, especially in times of need. 🔴 The idea of first aid was introduced by Friedrich Esmarch, the father of modern first aid, who paved the way for millions to learn life-saving skills. Knowing first aid isn’t just about being prepared—it's about being a hero when someone needs it most. Join us in supporting this life-saving movement and make a difference today! #WorldFirstAidDay #FirstAidHeroes #BeAHeroToday #MalasFoundation #LearnFirstAid #savelives

I'm advocating against currency devaluation in our import-dependent economy. It's crucial to weigh the pros and cons for a comprehensive analysis and debate amidst our current economic challenges. Pros of Kina Devaluation: - A weaker currency makes exports cheaper and more competitive in international markets, stimulating economic growth. - Increased export activity boosts production, employment, and income levels. - Reducing trade deficits by making imports more expensive and exports cheaper can lead to a more favorable balance of trade. - Lower currency value attracts foreign investors as assets become cheaper. - Encourages domestic consumers to buy locally produced goods, supporting domestic industries. Cons of currency devaluation: - Higher import costs can drive up prices, contributing to inflation. - Inflation and increased import costs may reduce consumer confidence and slow economic growth. - Retaliation from other countries may lead to a "currency war," destabilizing global markets. - Devaluation increases the local currency value of foreign-denominated debt, making it more expensive to service. - Short-term disruptions like market volatility, business uncertainty, and potential capital flight can occur. - Diminished value of savings in the local currency negatively impacts savers and those on fixed incomes. Currency devaluation can be a double-edge sword. While it may provide short-term economic benefits by stimulating exports and growth, it also carries significant risks, such as inflation, increased debt burden, and potential economic instability. The decision to devalue a currency should be carefully weighed, considering the broader economic context and potential long-term consequences. #CurrencyDevaluation #EconomicAnalysis

🌱 Trust the Process 🌱 One of the biggest mistakes we make is setting arbitrary timelines for our goals. We end up frustrated because we think we know how long something should take. But here’s the truth: Take care of the inputs, and let the outputs take care of themselves. Everything is beautiful in God’s time. Trust the process and believe that the outcome will come when it’s meant to—without the pressure of a deadline. 🌾 How do you stay patient during your process? Share your thoughts below! ⬇️
