Under the Patronage of Senator Abu-Ghazaleh, Al Manhal Graduates its 27th Batch

 

Thank God for the Blessing of Security and Safety which Enabled Us to Learn and Succeed – Senator Abu-Ghazaleh

AMMAN --- June 12, 2011 --- Under the patronage of HE Senator Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, chairman and CEO of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization, Al Manhal International School held the graduation ceremony for the 27th Batch of the Scientific Management Information Systems‏ (MIS) and British Certificate streams alumni which took place on June 4th, 2011 at HRH Prince Hassan Bin Talal Auditorium at the University of Jordan.

“This graduation is the result of your efforts, and thanks should be made to your families, teachers, friends, mates, and the School who are all proud of you today. Your graduation is my festival. We thank God for the blessing of security and safety in our beloved Jordan under the leadership of HM King Abdullah II which enabled us to learn and succeed,” HE said in the keynote address he delivered on this occasion.

“We always thank God for the blessing of the information technology, which would have never crossed the minds or even our imagination or my generation. It enabled you to communicate and acquire information which we at our time lacked.

Some of you came here with dreams to materialize, and some are looking for ideas, opportunities and goals. “

HE Abu-Ghazaleh gave three pieces of advice to the alumni: “My first advice to you is to define your goals and objectives, work tirelessly on achieving them since a dream without action is an illusion. I know all of you are determined to succeed. Many of you will try to achieve the bigger success in work. I hope you don’t forget the moral success, since the material success without moral success is tasteless.”
“My second advice is "time." You think that you have sufficient time to take decisions to achieve the goal. Bear in mind that you don’t always have the future and the time does not wait. We should work today and every day as if we live forever and as if we will not live any more at all. Time is more precious than money. We can make the fortune, but none of us can make time. A French proverb says Le monde appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt which literally means “The world belongs to those who rise early”, which corresponds to the English proverb “The early bird catches the worm”. My father told me that God distributes the blessings to people before the sunrise.”

 
My third one is to look at the meaning of your dreams. Work from now to materialize them. I pray that God will make your dreams come true and I am proud of your success as you do. Always remember that you are excellent and the leaders of the future. Eleanor Roosevelt said “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

At the end of the ceremony, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh honored the outstanding students and presented TAGITOP to the first-rated students.
