Lina Ashar

Lina Ashar, Founder and Director, Kangaroo Kids Education Ltd, is recognised as a global pioneer in children’s education. A leading education chain, it is changing the way kids learn, by introducing innovative learning strategies, fun-filled activities and a colourful curriculum. Lina Ashar has a bachelor’s degree in education from Victoria College Melbourne. Here’s her take on four questions

Two things that my education/training taught me:

To always be happy and positive in life no matter what it offers you.

To believe that every child is born with a potential for genius.

Two things I learnt from my work/real life:

To be compassionate and be able to give love is the only way to find and connect with happiness for which one needs to have internal stillness.

Anyone or any situation that one encounters is not by chance. See ‘adversaries’ as ‘teachers’ rather than as enemies, which take one emotionally, spiritually and professionally to another level.

One quality I look for the most in a new recruit:

Passion.

A book that I read recently:

The Power of Intention, by Dr Wayne Dyer.
