Winning the World Leaders Award

2025 World Leaders Award Honoree Matthew Primous

By Distinguished Honorary Alumni Dr. Matthew PrimousPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

Impart

Impart wisdom not judgement

Impart knowledge not biases

Impart hope and strengthen faith

Bring the world together by your hopes

Bring the world together by your faith

Bring the world together by humanity

And in that humanity love

And in that faith hope

And in that hope strength

Draw upon that and build bridges

Draw upon that and create faith

Draw upon that and survive

Build bridges against hatred

Build bridges against lies

Build bridges against distractions

Create faith that strengthens humanity

Create faith in brotherhood and unity

Create faith that can outlast crises

Survive not alone but with many

Survive democracy and thrive it

Survive unity and embrace strengths

We all have an obligation on this earth

we can deny the obligation.

Or we can accept it to work hard

and do our best and make this world a better place
