Prof. Dr. Ali Qaradaghi uses a quote from an American CEO on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) as advice for his followers regarding the New Year.

The post highlights the importance of family, friends, spiritual well-being, and health, while likening work and career, which people are now very preoccupied with, to a rubber ball that bounces back up after falling.

The text of the post:

An hour before entering the new year, I read something full of wisdom and I want you all to know it:

"The CEO of one of the American companies delivered a 60-second speech in which he said: Imagine life is like five balls that you toss up and keep spinning in the air, and you must not let them fall.

All of these balls are made of glass, except for one which is rubber.

The five balls are:

• Work

• Family

• Health

• Friends

• Spirit

Life is short, and you will understand that (Work) is the rubber ball, and every time it falls, it bounces back up again.

While the other four are made of glass; if one of them falls, it will never return to its original form. It will either crack, get scratched, or shatter completely.

You must be very careful about this and strive for it.

During work hours, try very hard and work diligently, and stop when it's over, so that you can be calm and content with your dedication.

Give enough time to your family and friends.

Take adequate rest.

Take care of your health.

Because if one of those balls falls, it is very difficult for them to return to their former state."

The advice is complete.

May God protect and watch over you.
