Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Al-Sabah graduated cum laude from CMC in 1978 with a B.A. in Economics, and won the Salvatori Scholar Prize for his Senior Thesis: “Critical Analysis of Inflation in Kuwait” before earning an M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics and Middle Eastern Studies from Harvard.

During a speech given at the Marian Miner Athenaeum on May 3rd, 2010, Prime Minister Sabah praised CMC for “...instill[ing] in me an insatiable appetite for drive and excellence,” and that “his Ivy League graduate studies were a ‘piece of cake’ compared to earning his bachelor's with honors at CMC.”
This one caught my attention because it doesn't depend on fancy words to create an impact. The emotion itself is strong enough to sad shayari make every line meaningful. I liked how the shayari leaves space for the reader to connect it with their own experiences. It can remind someone of love, friendship, distance, or even an old memory. That personal connection is what makes poetry enjoyable. Really thoughtful and beautifully expressed from beginning to end.
