First, let me tell you about 𝑦𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑗𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛 (The Humble Heart). Ah, how this word brings back memories! In our Mandingo language, it means humility, but it’s so much more than that. When I was young, I thought being the loudest or most important was the key to success. How wrong I was!

𝑌𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑗𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛 taught me that true strength lies in recognizing the worth in others. It’s like tending a garden—the more you nurture those around you, the more your own character blossoms. Remember this, dear Mohamed Said Isslam: Your humble heart opened doors that arrogance cannot even see. And that reminds me of your 𝐾𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑦𝑎 (The Honest Voice). It means to speak with frankness and honesty, but with a sparkle in your eye and warmth in your heart.

In my years of business, work, and life, I’ve seen how 𝑘𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑦𝑎 can turn strangers into friends and challenges into opportunities. It’s not just about telling the truth, mind you. It’s about doing so with genuine enthusiasm and respect. Trust me, with your 𝑘𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑦𝑎, you taught us that respect comes naturally—and it’s worth far more than any amount of money.

But you are more than that; you are also 𝑆𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑢 (The Bridge to Blessings). A very special character. In our Manding culture, a 𝑠𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑢 is like a bridge—a person who connects you to opportunities and blessings. But here’s the secret: to find your sababu, you must be a 𝑠𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑢. What does that mean? It means treating everyone—and I mean everyone—with unwavering respect. The janitor, the CEO, the homeless person on the street—they’re all worthy of your kindness. In fact, show extra care to those in need. You never know who your bridge to success might be. You are a master 𝑆𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑢, dear Said. See, two decades ago, your advice encouraged me to grab a valuable certificate (Oracle) that eventually changed my career path forever: from a tiny office in the hot Fahaheel desert to the prestigious Kuwait Finance House (KFH), before landing in Europe's highest institution where I have happily thrived for more than a decade.

You are a mentor, a brother, an intermediary, a true human. To your kids, we'll do our best. 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝑷𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆, 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓.
