সর্বাধিক গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বিষয় হলো-একে অন্যের প্রতি দায়িত্ববোধ, প্রতিশ্রুতি এবং অবগত থাকা।
যখন আপনি অন্যের (এবং নিজের মধ্যে) মধ্যে আরো বেশি দায়িত্ববোধ জাগিয়ে তুলতে চান, তখন ব্যর্থতার শাস্তি নয় বরং সাফল্যের প্রত্যাশার উপর জোর দিন!
আলহামদুলিল্লাহ্ আল্লাহ্ পাকের অশেষ রহমতে আমাদের আলোর সন্ধান পরিবারে জাকির ও জাহিদ এর সাথে হুসেইন আজকে থেকে অর্ন্তভূক্ত হয়েছে।
মাশাল্লাহ্ আমাদের আলোর সন্ধানের উদ্দেশ্য ও দায়িত্বযুক্ত কার্যক্রম দিন দিন বাড়ছে। আমরা একটু একটু করে অনেকরকম এগিয়ে যাচ্ছি আলহামদুলিল্লাহ্।
আলোর সন্ধান পরিবারের সবাইকে অসংখ্য ধন্যবাদ এই রকম একটি মহৎ উদ্দেশ্যে নিজ অবস্থান থেকে সর্বোত্তর সহযোগিতা ও সমন্বয় করার জন্যে। আলোর সন্ধান পরিবারকে অনেককাল এগিয়ে যেতে আমরা আমাদের নিজেদের সর্বোত্তম প্রচেষ্টা অব্যাহত রাখব ইনশাআল্লাহ্।
আমার জীবনে সংগঠক কিংবা সংগঠনে কাজ করে অনেক কিছু প্রাপ্তির মধ্যে আলোর সন্ধান অনেক বিশালত্ব জায়গার স্বাক্ষর।
আমি আমৃত্যু আলোর সন্ধানের সেবা ও দায়িত্ব গ্রহণ করেই যাবো ইনশাআল্লাহ্।
