Right from childhood, the author has lived a life devoid of satisfaction; hidden life I should say. Dumb, stupid, good-for- nothing, failure among others, are some of the tags and labels many leveled against him. He had no confidence in himself and, to make matters worse, the vast majority didn’t see anything good in him.
Despite it all, his parents, and his role model; his grandfather- Mohamed Mbarak Bahaidar were the ones who believed in him regardless of the gloom that people painted around him. His role model took the trouble to always be there to encourage him and help him to self-reflect, rediscover himself, and uncover his talents. He completed the author’s world pretty, so well.
Such were the circumstances that the writer had to put up with, though he lived with his immediate family who believed in him no matter what and rendered support to him at all costs, and the grandpa became instrumental in his life and the game-changer.
They worked hard, hand in hand, to keep him encouraged and overcome the frustrations of failure by instilling hope, self-confidence, and courage in him plus the desire to discover and kindle his strengths besides working on his weaknesses.
He did not lack even a single textbook; his parents provided all that was needed to see him through his early education, even though he emerged at the bottom of his class. He vividly recalls the tears rolling down his mother’s cheeks for his lack of success through his entry exams for grade one. She was dismayed, and fright engulfed her over the future of her son. It looked bleak!
Have you ever had grave concerns and self-defeating thoughts about yourself? Ever looked at yourself in the mirror and all that you saw was a dim, foolish, individual who is considered dumb? The author thought of himself far worse than these reflections.
Dr. Bahaidar attended normal kindergarten schooling, albeit with a lot of difficulties and practically changed schools at grade 4 three times, every time repeating the same grade- three year in one class!
The strongest God-given pillar of mankind is that of family. His family embraced him even in the wake of such humiliating blows in life. And at the time of need, his blood and flesh did not disappoint him.
Often his dad would take him out to play, have a one-on-one pep talk, help him discover where his passion lay, and, above all, assured him that he would one day end up being very prosperous. He made sure he attended the best academies, provided him with all the books, and supported him in every way he deemed fit.
The Bahaidar family played a great role in transforming him into who he is today. They constantly reminded him that anyone is bound to fail if forced onto an issue or an area he doesn’t enjoy or value. The focus here was in identifying his passion. . The moment he figured out his interests and his passion for life, it became a moment for celebration and marked the beginning of his now memorable journey.
His grandfather, his hero and role model was a man who sacrificed everything just to put a smile on the author’s face. Not even a single motivation story did he conceal from him. He encouraged him into sports and raised his ego until he realized how unique he was.
He acknowledged the support accorded to him, which by far was the greatest asset he had ever encountered to instill hope and chart the way forward. He felt more secure, even though he had a lot that was going on around him. He was more relaxed despite complicated and bewildering circumstances. Above all, self-confidence and sound judgment cleared the way from obscure things that were ahead of him.
Such great mentorship brought him to the point of appreciating each and everything that was done on his behalf with his wife and kids being the epitome of his happiness and a true inspiration.
Then the grandpa died when the author was 15! Your guess is as good as mine! It was not easy for Dr. Bahaidar to understand the situation and quickly forge a way ahead. He seemed surrounded by nether gloom and desperation. However, one thing kept his spirit up: desire to live his grandpas’ life and appreciation of God’s love for humanity.
Overwhelmed by grief, he seemed enmeshed in an infinite sea of loneliness and the irreplaceable gap in his heart seemed to widen by day. A common feeling for anybody when a close person succumbs to mortality. It was, to him, becoming a vitiating element with no hope left to forge the way forward. Darkness seemed to reign, and the clouds didn't seem to have any silver lining. Lessons had begun. And so was a long journey into an endless quest for true meaning of life.
Over time, the author stumbled upon this realization: success is neither tied to the swift nor to the rich, but that time and chance happens to them all. What ails the society, in fact, is the cut-throat blind competition between and among mates, neighbours and groups. That our lives are put on whimsicals such as who is smart enough to emerge the top student? Who is diligent and industrious to be crowned employee of the year, who has the best IQ and so forth.
We are socialized into such ideologies and strata so much that we often forget the real meaning of life. We get so obsessed about the stiff competitions and eventually we get skewed in the way we look at virtually everything. The maxim that should set a platform is- Cogito ergo sum: I think, therefore I am.
The thought process began which was so rife at the moment to help the author maneuver through the grief which seemed to be getting the better of him. He was in a dire need of a quick fix . He wondered whether he would have the bliss in life as he dreamed like young people do or was the death of the mentor a point of no return?’
After the many near misses he had had throughout his life, at the age of 18 he profited immensely drawing deeply from self-help books with the help of Babu Ali Mandry that ignited a positive spirit within him and brought an understanding of the need to look at the brighter side of things.
The more he delved into the world of philosophy, psychology, and motivational stories, the more desire he had to cover more books, which made him have cognizance of the beauty that existed all around him.
It was the anecdote of Albert Einstein on his poor performance in early school, being told by his principal, ‘you will never go far with your studies’ that caught the author’s attention and made him realize that there was more to life than what we just envision.And that the beauty of one’s life lay within.
A unique journey contorted into resurgence that led him to explore, venture, and sample different phases of life.
He noticed the aptitude the human race possesses which can reshape our destinies, but not everyone is consistent with this fact. We have the potential to change through an intimate passion that fuels the motive to propel the law of attraction into motion.
It may come as a surprise to discover that Albert Einstein was a failure, but managed to transform into a genius with an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of 160.
Albert Einstein featured prominently in our secondary education textbooks with the numerous relativity theories that earned him adulation and an honorary degree as well as a Nobel Prize in Physics and many other medal awards, which came his way, such as Franklin, Copley, Max Planck, Gold, Matteucci and Barnard awards.
From Albert’s experience, Dr. Bahaidar started to redefine himself. There was a deep quest that kept ringing in his mind! The more he delved deeper the more he discovered we have latent potential of reshaping our destinies if we hold our missions dear to our hearts.
Whenever he perused through biographies of profound individuals, the more he flashed back to his dim past. The author had a rather low and dim perception of himself and thoughts of himself being without talent permeated through his life and kept on reliving the memory of the primary school entry exam bitter experience.
Flashback runs through his thoughts the moment his class teacher ridiculed his English composition in class. Students could burst out in laughter at how low his ability in English was, which made him emerge at the bottom of the class.
This ignited the burning desire of wanting to be acquainted with the know-how in ways in which human beings operate and what makes us transform and radiate intellectual abilities and character.
A life of adventure was in the offering and soon it began. Hunt for a job abroad was to follow. He took this opportunity to research, to understand human nature and their cultural beliefs. That made him appreciate the delicate subject of life itself. He confirmed that an ‘unexamined life is not worth living.’
A relentless interaction through one-on-one talks, interviews, radio Q&A sessions, surveys on societal living, and documentaries on life that he conducted in various countries locally and abroad sparked the passion.. He also managed to touch base even with those nursing psychological hitches.
The heart to heart involvement enriched his life, coming alive to the fact there are many more with similar lesions in life and that people are desperately in need of help.
What he came to realize was that our thoughts have all along been deceptive. Coupled with mounting peer pressure, which our society has cast on us on the inadequacies and inabilities, the last nail on a coffin is in most cases driven in on people who, if discovered, would turn the world around. This is how many dreams get shattered .
At what point do we feel a turning point in our life? A point when you feel you’ve done all that is needed yet nothing seems to work out towards our good? As human beings,do we at times, feel that what we are left with is just one step to extinction?
How do we get to that point where all we wish for is death? All alone on a cliff where you contemplate, “Should I do it or should I not?” We look back and all that we see in the past that bedeviled us: peer pressure, responsibilities that choked us, and misery killed or is killing all the hopes of a propitious future that never was or that may never be should the status quo linger.
At this juncture,life becomes so puzzling, with many a person experiencing storms from every direction; financial puffs, bankruptcy, divorce, and even death. All this leaves us feeling repugnant and repudiated.
Dr. Mohamed Bahaidar, having gone through all these stages and humiliating experiences, embarks on a journey to become a problem-solver. He attains this through life coaching, counseling and a deliberate effort to embrace the little opportunities that life storms present. He pursues a rigorous mission of extolling virtuous acts to discover himself and the potential that was innate but inertia.
The lessons which he edifies are those of Thomas A. Edison, a self-made genius, and a master of the invention with 1093 patents. With minimal schooling of 3 – 6 months, he managed to transform his abilities which made the world bow to his rare invention of the electric bulb.
We all know that Thomas Edison’s journey was not without upheavals. We celebrate him as a profound, unique individual who started from nowhere and went on to attain exclusive awards from Technical Grammy Award, Rumford prize, and Distinguished Service Medal. Rarely do we look at the hurdles that he bore and the threatening thunderbolts that he endured to remain afloat.
From Thomasd Edison’s experience, Dr. Bahaidar peered into the future and saw the only road to success was through rediscovering himself by understanding his potential. He ventured into oratory skills in which he excelled, yet not seamlessly having had a background that was limited in knowledge. Today his speech is seasoned, flamboyant and meticulous. Impressive, isn't it?
His quest for knowledge took a drastic, daring approach: Within 14 years, he managed to cover over 2,000 books and dealt with almost 10,000 personal as well as family issues. That was not the end of the road but brought the need to comprehend why things happen the way they do including why most businesses ventures and various dilemmas human beings face.
This set-in motion the need for him to pursue his Ph.D. specifically a Doctor of Philosophy in management with self-study in the philosophy of life and the psychological effect impacting human beings surroundings.
Who would have imagined that such a person would one day manage to complete his pursuit of knowledge up to a Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D. level with a bias in management and self-research on behavioral psychology alongside guidance and counseling?!
Today he helps millions of individuals. Today, Dr. Bahaidar is a Liaison (student president) of his university and he is well established within the business circles and imparts management skills to business rookies and business gurus alike..
He was once supposedly considered a failure, but today he has acquired and been crowned with a new title, “Professor”, due to his life-transforming talks, sharing wise counsel, and being bold enough to lead the way in many spheres of life..
He is now celebrated motivational speaker and an author of 10 books and still counting: “The Hidden Self”, “The Point of Deflection”, “A Household of Bliss”, Sparkling Hope”, “Mirror Reflection”, “Trailing the Scent of Sex”, “The Anonymous Trek”, “My Dash of Existence, ’ Millionaire’s Quest,” and ”The Living Silhouette".
All directed towards the guidance of mankind to live a more fulfilling life and leave this world a better place than we found it.
Having visualized his breakthrough, two things propelled him in the right direction to become who he is today; self-reflection which accorded him the right self-image and self-confidence.
Dr. Bahaidar believes that as you read this book, you will rediscover your true self and self-worth then rise above all the mediocrity, pain, and frustrations which, if you succumb to, wil ruin the chances of becoming what God rightfully destined for you.
