Inspirational Morning Address by Dr. Ekrah Ndung’u Highlights the Importance of Elasticity
In a motivating address this Monday morning, Dr. Ekrah Ndung’u, Chairperson of the Kenya National Association of Private Colleges (KENAPCO), inspired a gathering of educators and youth leaders with her insights on resilience and adaptability. Known for her kindness and mentorship, Dr. Ekrah emphasized the concept of “elasticity” in navigating today’s uncertain world.
“Elasticity is important… just bend, do not break. There’s power in perseverance and adaptability,” she urged her audience. Dr. Ekrah acknowledged the volatility of modern economies and the self-centered nature of contemporary society, encouraging individuals to remain steadfast in their values and efforts.
She drew parallels between the fast-paced changes of the world and the concept of “selfie,” noting how the first five letters spell “selfish.” “In this ‘selfie’ world, we must strive to do good, not as an investment, but to genuinely uplift others and bring smiles,” she stated, echoing the compassionate approach of Mother Teresa.
Dr. Ekrah’s words served as a powerful reminder that while challenges are inevitable, resilience and adaptability can lead to personal and communal growth. “Bend, do not break,” she reiterated, urging her audience to embrace change and overcome adversity.
Her address resonated deeply with attendees, many of whom left feeling empowered to face the complexities of life with renewed vigor and a commitment to integrity. As a role model for youth, Dr. Ekrah continues to illuminate the path toward a more compassionate and resilient society.
