Mr. ISMAIL HASSAN MAYET 'JAWAHAR'

Words of Advices to us from Late Mr. Ismail Hassan Mayet ‘Jawahar’v Chairman Emeritus, Alipore Social Welfare Trust

Following are some of the words of advices given to us, the trustees of Alipore Social Welfare Trust, by Late Mr. Ismail Hassan Mayet to us during the conversations which we had always kept in our minds:-

  • ‘There are two routes to success, easy and hard, go for hard route, you would not have any competition.’
  • ‘There is no substitute to hard work, and dedication.’
  • ‘Money can not buy Loyalty and Trustworthiness.’
  • ‘Do what no one have done and achieve like no one has achieved.’
  • ‘Do social work for the sake of weaker section and you will get prayers and appreciation in return and work for effluent class and you will get words of advices and criticism.’
  • ‘Serve with quality and perfection and not with quantity.’
  • ‘The farther we dream of travelling, the closer and tighter must be our strengths and resolve.’
  • ‘Intensity to Win is the burning desire to stretch and challenge our limits. It’s desire to realize and expand our potential. It’s about continuous innovation and striving to be better every time. It’s about multiplying forces as a team. No one wins 100% of time, but those who have the Intensity to Win, win more often than not.’
HOW TRUE WERE THE WORDS OF ADVICES

Today when we sit and ponder, we feel we had been inspired by a great person whose words of advices were very useful to us.

If we think about the words one can write many pages describing and elaborating in detail regarding these words of advises, but for a layman, here are the following reasons why we feel his words of advices were true: v

  1. We achieved success by choosing the hard route and expanded our Departments and services at Alipore Social Welfare Trust and Alipore Hospital. When odds were against this project, we had this great gentleman with his group of friends like Haji Ebrahim Mohammed Karolia, Haji Ahmed Fakir Maniyar and Haji Ebrahim Asmalji Patel behind us to give us moral support.
  1. Hard work and dedication always work well. We now have a solid example of Alipore Hospital, ASWT Disaster Relief Fund and ASWT Education Relief and Scholarship Fund.
  1. Loyalty and Trustworthiness comes within the persons and rightfully we have identified this in our team.
  1. We started our social work with this advice and have achieved what we never expected; in fact we achieved more than we expected. All the activities at Alipore Social Welfare Trust are the examples of these words.
  1. True, the social work is to be done for the poorest of the poor section of the community who have no one to look after. These are the part of population who see our doctors and staffs working as the miracle men. They truly appreciate their work and virtually feel that the services done at Alipore Hospital are God-sent to them.  Likewise, the same services (even with better infrastructure) provided to richer class of community what we get are mere criticism or simple words of appreciations like Thanks or the services were okay but ……; affluent section of society feel that services provided to them is their privilege and poor class of society feel the services have been a boon to them; hence we were advised to concentrate on weaker section of the community.  We introduced that type of services and facilities in this remote area which were only available in the cities.
  1. Serving the community with quality and perfection is far more superior than to showing off with the quantity of person you have served. At Alipore Social Welfare Trust, we have examples in our activities like Alipore Hospital & Research Centre, ASWT Education Relief and Scholarship Fund, 24 Hrs Ambulance Service, 24Hrs Emergency Service, Day and Night Alipore Hospital Medical Store and ASWT Disaster Relief Fund.
  1. The farther we dream of travelling, the closer and tighter must be our strengths and resolve:  As we start developing and introducing new department, services and facilities we have to be ready to manage and utilise these services at optimum level and also must have resources and backup to serve with quality. We are just doing that.
  2. Intensity to Win has been his slogan, Late Ismail Hassan Mayet, had always been a person who would accept any challenge and try his best to win. He believed in Teamwork. His advise was to identify and select only those team members who are dedicated and have sense of responsibility. Once we have a team, we never have to look back on whatever work we plan to do. Winning is secondary, we may win or lose or stay in between but what is necessary is the Intensity to Win. Once we have Intensity to Win we shall surely reach our goal.

His vision was enormous; he made a team of dedicated social workers who have taken his words as a challenge. Today, we are proud to have Haji Yusuf Hassan Mayet, his brother and Haji Yusuf Mohammed Karolia of Batley, UK in ASWT Family because of his initiation. These Two Gentlemen organised themselves and formed a team of Representatives and Volunteers and have in all respect strengthened the foundation of Alipore Social Welfare Trust. Today, because of their good work in donation-drive, it is possible for us to provide various welfare works and activities.

Selecting the right person and at the right time was his speciality. Haji Yusuf Hassan Mayet and Haji Yusuf Mohammed Karolia had then organised a team of Representatives and Volunteers like Mr. Salim Yusuf Loonat, Mr. Salim Mulla, Haji Hasan Karolia, Moulana Ahmed Sidat JP, Mr. Ismail Mulla, Mr. Hasan Musa Lunat, Mr. Musa Mohamed Akudi, Mr. Muneer Daji, Mr. Yusuf Shafi, Mr. Mohammed Karolia, Mr. Rafik Namazi,  Mr. M Amin Laher, Mr. Ayyub Laher, Mr. Salim Raja, Mr. Abubakkar Mamaniat, Mr. Gulam Mulla, Mr. Shaukat Emam, Mr. Kaushar Tai, Mr. Miya Hajat, Hafez Ahmed Loonat, Liyakat Karolia, Hassan Ismail Karolia, Mr. A. R. Laher, Mr. Ismail E. Baser and many other volunteers.

With these network of Representatives and Volunteers in ASWT family we have always found that their moral and unconditional support and co-operation.
