Quote: I am related to him (grandson), but his life is worthwhile sharing. I agree Elshiekh Mustafa was a successful man, his life is full of highs and lows in dramatic way. As we all know success does not come as an accident, you have to work for it. There is something unique about his up bringing that made him stand out from the rest of his pears. I can not argue that he hasn't above average mental abilities, as it is reported he has very good memory and good ability predict the future You can also argue that his ability has not been tainted or trained by academic education, as he avoided going to school early in his life, even he had always been proud to recite the story of his "great escape" from the school. He equated modern schooling with homosexuality, in fact at that time wearing a trouser was also equated to not being manly enough. It has to be said there is a lot about modernity he liked, and adopted, he always sat next to his phone, telex and ran his life by his watch. I think his core values were very enterprising, he has dealt with risk in a very informed and brave manner, experienced little fear, you can imagine a young boy, lost his father for a war and been brought up by his mother who was a farmer with strong character disagreed greatly with the way his uncles tried to bring him, for punishment he was sent to work with the slaves doing hard labor. He was proud to say that when his uncles not circumcised him, he performed circumcision on himself. He was obsessed with making money not with money itself as there is subtle difference, of course. He can live with or without money very simple life style, but he enjoyed the game of making money. importance of education to modern world, which one of his strengths, he can make a big shift in his understanding if he is convinced he was wrong, started by making a great escape from formal education, to almost dedicating his life to the school he built in the middle of Khartoum for the poor families children. The school was next to Camboni school which formed part of his inspiration to build a school that matches the high European education the Italian brought to Sudan. He later borrowed the idea of building shops around the school to pay for the expenses of running the school and idea he also borrowed from Geneva, there was a rich man there who loved Geneva so much he built hotels and dedicated their income to city council. I will post a picture of him in his office and you will induce the reasons behind his success , although he contributed his success to his mother prayers for him
