Hi champ! An exciting welcome 😊😇 to this week's edition of another mind-blowing Publication from the stables of Dear Young Leader Media House. Happy Monday! Hope you're kicking off the week on a high note.🤗 Here's a quick question; What’s one thing that you could do right now to spark people magic? Share your thoughts here.👇
Today's Article Spotlight 👏
When I first heard about the shovel strategy, I had thought it's all about taking the most. You know how everyone is taking spoonfuls and being excited about it, only for you to show up with what looks like a shovel to empty the plate?😂 That's right. I believe I am not alone on this thought line.
Anyways, the shovel strategy is a method of digging real deep into every industry of choice for the purpose of establishing a deep rooted understanding of the process, thus leading to becoming an authority over time in the field. ¶When you see people speak industry terms like it is their second language, they have subscribed to the shovel strategy and the result is what is now seen in their fluent communication.¶
You see, like the shovel is used for digging, you have to also dig deep into anything that interest you. You can't admire anything into existence, dig it out! Like the shovel when it's digging, you have to be persistent because on some days you are going to hit on hard rocks, but your consistency, will help you go round it.
If you're always looking for soft landing, a Nigerian Proverb says; a sandy hand brings an oily mouth.🤯 In other words, if you don't work, there's no assurance of where your next meal would come from. Meanwhile, no single labourer can dig up a building foundation regardless of their expertise. You need team members. ¶The shovel strategy can be overwhelming just like digging with a shovel that's why you need good team players to make your work a lot easier. ¶Share the goals as well as the successes that's how you grow.
Remember that when using the shovel strategy, you need a strong team built on resilience and trust because at some point, you will need to draw strength from each other, and I hope that when you need it, you'd find it.

Talk soon.
I am Samira Ahmadi. From Kabul Afghanistan
My world is different from all my peers. I grew up with a pen and book from the day I was born.
My father is not a simple person. With a little education and a simple and calm appearance, he carries a world of high thoughts in his mind!
I was 5 years old when I entered the student world.
I loved my notebook more than the book because my notebook was the result of my efforts and thoughts.
Since I had the talent of leadership and management, I was always appointed by my teachers as the group leader in group work and represented my class.
It was my interest that made me create a charity in 2019 after the quarantine with the cooperation of my sister and distribute food to poor families and orphans.
Because in the majority of families, girls and children were away from education due to lack of educational courses and lack of written materials.
I stepped into the world of entrepreneurship apart from the team and gathered a group of creative and thoughtful people and we created a work environment for girls who missed school so that they could finance their education through work.
A year passed, and it became 1400. Although I was only 15 years old, new thoughts and ideas came to my mind, but I could not implement them because I had to prepare myself for the entrance exam, because one of my goals was to get the first grade. Get public. Kankur was unaware that fate had something else planned for me.
In the same year, two unexpected and terrible things happened. First, on the 18th of Swar 1400, my school faced a systematic attack.
Three consecutive explosions resulted in the martyrdom of more than 180 people from my generation and dozens of my classmates.
The incident that hit my soul and body terribly and I was involved in the story for weeks, and my life had turned into a nightmare from which I could not escape.
Days passed one by one until I returned to my normal life with the help of my parents and the mental health organization IPSO.
It didn't take long before the unbelievable happened again.
August 24 was the day when the Taliban came, and my life changed completely and I returned to my previous state, and I was fighting depression for months!!
I don't remember exactly how this idea came to my mind, but I returned to the field with a special and different approach, and this time stronger and with better plans and ideas!
I considered myself a defender of women's rights, and at that time, the best thing I could do was to create an educational center for the underprivileged sisters of my school.
The activity of my center (Atrat Alam Educational Center) started at the beginning of the month of Scorpio in 1400, and in these two years I did my best to gather the girls of my land and make a strong and powerful group.
I managed to create a group of 30 - or 40 motivated and capable girls who can cooperate with me in managing and carrying out the center's activities.
I created Atrat Alam Educational Center for these two reasons.
#Don't let girls not go to school become a culture and habit.
#Don't change public opinion about girls' education.
And now this center has about 200 students in different departments and levels. which is taught voluntarily by girls who are deprived of lessons.
It goes without saying that this center is a scientific and cultural center, which means that in addition to teaching, it has cultural activities such as (reading competition, discourse, seminar, intra-union competition, festival...) each with a specific purpose (to motivate, promote the culture of reading books, discovering talents, improving capacities... is created.
And finally, what I want to say is that's;
(With all these activities, one thing still bothers me
In this situation, although these girls motivate others, they also need motivation. Besides the fact that the teachers themselves still need to study.)
