Yasmin Ahmad



It's been 2 years since her passing..this is my first (may be second) time watching and listening to her in person.  She's truly a gem. Such a great loss ...

I watched the video all over again to pick out what I would like to highlight from this 15 mins speech.

She's..Natural, Spontaneous and speaks excellent English.

She's humble..
"..I'm only an ant..a drop in the ocean of wisdom.."


She's funny!.
"Jack Nicholson - pee aslo got charisma" "Shahrukh Khan..pee two buckets of charisma..cannot act, cannot sing, cannot dance, look abit like bangladeshi worker..but got charisma" 

LOL...

Her knowledge and openness to different teachings, believes and religions amazes me...

"Buddha taught about ..letting go ourselves"


"Lao Tze said..empty yourselves....being an empty bowl is more promising than a full one..a full bowl  you can't put anything in it..can't go anywhere.."


"The Prophet once said to some people who came back from defending a religion..with broken arms / legs who said that they've been thru the toughest battle ever...The Prophet S.A.W. said...no..the toughest battle is in us..that is to remove as much arrogance as you can, remove self importance, step back be nobody, so that you can be part of somethng much bigger.."


I learnt so much from a 15 minute speech...

if only...

But then..if she's still alive and kicking..I wouldn't have bothered to spend time clicking on the video..

Human is such.
