Quote of the week

22nd April 2024
“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth”
- Muhammad Ali
Presented by Oluwatomisin Bada
"Service to others" refers to acts of kindness, help, and support that benefit someone else. It's about making a positive impact in the lives of others.
"Is the rent you pay" is a metaphor that suggests that serving others is a necessary payment for the privilege of living on Earth. Just as we pay rent to occupy a physical space, serving others is the "rent" we pay to occupy a space on this planet.
"For your room here on earth" represents the idea that our time on Earth is temporary, and we're all just occupying a small space for a brief period. It's a reminder to make the most of our time and resources by serving others.
In essence, Muhammad Ali's quote emphasizes that serving others is not only a moral obligation but a fundamental aspect of being a part of the human community. By serving others, we're paying our dues, showing gratitude for the opportunity to exist, and making the world a better place.
This quote inspires us to:
- Volunteer our time and skills
- Help those in need
- Be kind and compassionate
- Make a positive impact in our communities
Remember, every small act of service counts, and collectively, we can create a ripple effect of kindness and compassion that transforms the world!
