Philosophy of Life

He strongly believes that an exceptional life has a strong philosophical foundation from which all ideas and actions are formed. It's a belief that you can be Zs most common person in the world and still do something uncommon with your life/His philosophy of success is one in which you methodically slug it out, stick to the game plan, think winning thoughts and execute without forgetting human service.) It is on the basis of his strong philosophy of life that Mohamed Husein Jaffer was able to start a business with a mere twenty thousand shillings as capital and out of this investments have grown tremendously. In other words, what started as seed money has spiraled over the years.

A little fragrance clings to a hand that give you roses.

Mr. Jaffer believes in his philosophy that it is the life touching, value adding and life transforming that matters most in the world. He knows that every water bearing pipe is free from thirst. In other words, people should not desire to be "paper millionaires". That¬is-t-e-siaEne does not become a millionaire for having a million shillings in the bank, but becomes one by influencing and touching a million lives.
