DUNIA – The Global Face of Greatness!
Since the inception of DUNIA Magazine, I’ve counted about 5 people from 5 different parts of the world who have told us that “Dunia” means “global” in their traditional languages. This is an interesting but meaningful coincidence. It means that as people, we are definitely more alike than we think. Even where we think we’re different, we can still look into each other’s world and find so many things that can shape our own lives for the better.
This is the beauty and uniqueness of being a part of “Dunia” in the real sense and through the pages of DUNIA Magazine. The idea of learning something new about the world we live in. Great people live in every corner of the globe. Each of us, in our own way, strives daily to be great, to push our boundaries and to be better than we already are. Where ever we are in our pursuit of greatness, we are just beginning this life-long journey. There is more to be realized by a thousand fold.
I am impatient to learn about what drives and motivates people to greatness in other parts of the world. In our myopic-thinking mind, shaped by the myopic-thinking society we live in, we sometimes think that other people’s norms and values are inferior to ours. We have pre-conceived notions and stereotypical views about others. In reality, there are profiles of successful people all over the world. These are people whose values and perceptions look nothing like our own, but who have attained levels of success that we can only dream of. It is time to look into the world of others and investigate the core values that drive them to success.
DUNIA Magazine should be celebrated for connecting worlds, and highlighting the achievements of those whose values are different from our own. Greatness is a universal concept shrouded by stereotypes, negativity, limiting beliefs and notions of inferiority and superiority. We are beyond the idea that we’re better than others and when we start to peel away every layer of misconception, we will all be the better for it, globally.
Welcome to the world of greatness. Welcome to Dunia. Welcome to DUNIA Magazine!
