I teach my students that the personality of a person and the extent of his presence appear at the time of intense pain, gushing sadness, and unbridled desire, whether biological or human, and at the time of sweeping victory and humiliating defeat…. A person’s ability to control himself and his reactions to these feelings is what determines who he is, and how he builds his boundaries for himself and with others.

A young woman from “Dreamers of Tomorrow” said: Explain more, Doctor!!

I said: Who do you think is the saddest when losing a lover!!? Who screams, pulls a hair, blames those around him, throws himself and hurts them to show his grief to others, or who really grieves and thinks of the beauty of his loss and his love, who makes his memory better, or who wants revenge and killing to heal his anger?
Who do you think is more civilized and perfect, the one who enters victoriously, then pardons and unites, or the one who kills, divides, and stirs up strife,!!!

Who is the respectable, classy person who respects and elevates women more than just a sexual symbol that excites his instincts, or who sees her as a mother, sister, wife and daughter!?
Who is better morally, who wants to hide her and considers her a commodity of his masculinity, or who sees her as the origin of life and his partner, so he respects her privacy, grace and knowledge.

Who do you see when you are very happy firing bullets and raising your voice without permission? Is he the most valuable in society or just the loudest?!!!

Who do you see as the most civilized in the event of defeat, who congratulates the winner and works to improve himself, or who accuses the referee and the audience in a sports match because they are the reason for his defeat?!!!

The civilized person knows that God knows his secret and does not need an announcement to inform others of that, so his appearance, his microphones, or his screams are not evidence of his faith, and he does not impose his will on others to be like him, but rather shows his love, mercy, tolerance, and perfection of his morals, so he is an example without acting, and without noise. He is not arrogant, and he suffices others with his gossip and evils, and reminds them of the best of what is in them.

The experience of a few days, while I was with my family, loved ones, and friends after a not simple surgery, brought me back to myself to think about the fragility of the human body, which is only a vessel for himself and his soul, and whose true value appears in what he does in this part of his life that he lives in this body.

Every doctor and shepherd can be sick and needy when the picture is reversed, and every jailer can be a prisoner and an oppressed person, and every ruler is in fact governed by what he does with his power and scepter, and every rich man with his money is poor except by his conviction and the goodness he spreads around him…

The picture is completely different according to the location of each one of us.
The picture I have, in the university hospital in a province .. in Germany, while I am in my room on my way to undergo serious surgery, is accuracy in performance, perfection in work, everyone complements each other in the team, every detail is documented about my medical history, everyone starts at eight fifteen A minute in the morning, and the German machine is in perfect dynamic harmony….The same image from another site and my family and I seeing patients in other rooms, most of them elderly, in loneliness and solitude without visitors or friends, and stillness around them, without emotions made us look at everything we criticize in our society with the same eyes. Others.. Can we combine efficiency, accuracy and achievement without losing our humanity????

There is another picture that must be considered, which includes an exceptional cardiac surgeon, at the age of forty-six, and his assistant in his mid-twenties… Why am I talking about him? This is the question and the two-sided image… He is a skilled and auspicious doctor, accomplished and creative in what he does, and the German team of surgeons and the medical team looks at him with admiration and respect… He is one of the only ones in all of Germany to change the aortic valve without injecting dyes that negatively affect the work of the kidneys, and he does so Laparoscopic and without an open surgical procedure, and when I looked closely at his operations schedule from eight in the morning daily and on weekends, I found that he had performed more than five thousand operations in the last five years with impressive success and great skill, and the operation was registered in his name, as he is a respected researcher and scientist….

Why do I repeat the words about him, because he is Egyptian, he is seen with pride in Germany, the country of perfection and accuracy, and he is a creator and inventor, and he is at an age stage in which people like him assume leadership and pioneering in their country .. He is Dr. Tamer Owais who combined the world of achievement, working in a team, and between Humanity and the beauty of the Egyptian character…..

I found what I wanted in the painting that I am looking at… It is Tamer and others like him from the successful Egyptian youth

Specializations will change completely whenever work platforms change, and I mention here specializations that we did not know before, such as virtual reality developers, self-driving car engineers, vertical agriculture specialists in cities, green transformation jobs, and others such as data analysts, computer systems analysts, information security specialists, makers and analysts. Coding, e-marketing and software designers.
Unfortunately, most of the new majors do not have educational curricula and training programs in universities. Rather, large companies prepare young people for them, not traditional educational institutions.
The essence of the art of the profession in law and medicine may continue, but the specifications of the future doctor and lawyer are changing now and will change tomorrow by virtue of the availability of knowledge and alternatives, the qualitative change of service seekers, the immediate review of professional decisions and the possibility of comparing them with international standards.

Distance education and training has also become a reality, without the need to buy land or rent buildings and spend billions, and micro-certificates appear and will appear.
(Nano degrees) that does not cost those who want large resources, and professional diplomas to raise the level of employee performance as long as its students have the necessary skills.
Technical education and vocational training develops so that the owner of these professions becomes equivalent within recognized limits in the skills that we are talking about in order to advance the profession and increase its respect in society and even its resources.

A young man looked at me and said: There are some words that have become frequent and many people may not know their meaning, so what do you mean, for example, by automation and digitization?
I said: I did not know the term “automation” until after reading a number of reports about the future of jobs and work in the future, and it is a modernized and Arabized term that means automation and refers to everything that works by itself without human intervention. “Automation” can be described as the use of computers and devices based on processors or controllers and software in various industrial, commercial and service sectors in order to ensure the flow of procedures and businesses in an accurate and correct automatic manner and with the least possible error. In short, “automation” is the art of making procedures and machines run and work automatically with greater efficiency, less time, and without human intervention.
As for “digitization”, it is the conversion of written, oral, audio and visual communication into digital electronic messages that everyone understands and can be saved and retrieved quickly and easily. We can say that everything in the ancient world required a written document to survive, otherwise it would perish. But the result of digitization now is higher efficiency in work, art, research and education, with lower costs, better control and unprecedented availability, which puts generations of our children and youth in front of opportunities that were not available to our parents and grandparents.
I return to your question about universities and granting degrees. Universities in their traditional form must change, because the labor market precedes them in development and innovation, otherwise they will lose their role in creating the future.
We should not think of higher education as a response to the current labor market situation, unemployment rates, or the state of a profession at a specific moment in time..However, it will remain this type of education that lays the foundations for the features of the future, and builds people who are capable of making development, not filling in The vacuum of needs only.. It is the education that builds the human being, the maker of opportunity and its realizer, and not only the beneficiary of it. It is the education that builds the normal personality that uses the data of the age for the benefit of humanity and not its destruction.

Therefore, the most important question is what do we consider universities in our vision, builders of civilization or just service providers, because that is what will make the difference.

From my point of view, universities need to know the reasons for change or the reasons for sticking to what science and society think are constants, and in order for them to do this, they must question what has been acquired and also test the different modes of thinking that exist in each society, and the university must take the risk of presenting Everything is unexpected and don’t take it easy to stay the way it is

A young man said: Do you mean by your words that universities embody the processes of change in society… This is what we do not see, Doctor, because we see universities running after

Likewise, attempts were made to reunite the youth, and did not continue, during Mubarak’s era, the most important of which was the Horus experiment, which was adopted by the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports.
Transform the Republican Palace to confront the demonstrations, and create a semi-regular army parallel to the police force that imposes obedience and punishes those who disagree with their ideology.
However, we believe that this vision, which its proponents thought was valid during the period of government during the three eras of the July Revolution, and then the era of the Brotherhood, is no longer valid during the transitional period and the stage of rebuilding it now. The sharp diversity of ideas and visions that society is witnessing represents a serious challenge in and of itself, and an opportunity at the same time.
Therefore, it becomes necessary to formulate a new general policy for youth, to which the state apparatus adheres, and the parties concerned with drawing up and implementing this policy, as well as the youth themselves, participate in its formulation.
And the necessity of confronting and dealing with the sharp political and religious polarization that exists in society.
The formulation of this policy faces a set of obstacles and challenges:
Challenges facing the state policy for youth:
1- The first challenge lies in who has the right to set the state’s youth policy.
Profitable and not-for-profit.
The origin is to create a natural base of young people who respect considerations of merit and competence to hold public positions away from direct state interference in employment (except in the narrowest limits).
If the youth can have a comprehensive meaning, it is not limited to the availability of a budgetal shares, but it will come back to the climate of creation of opportunities (the employee of the state created opportunities and not to be fun), and opens the doors of transparency in the youth. The challenge is to bring stakeholders together. suit the needs of each segment of them.
Some think that there is no need to set state policies for youth, because they represent 60% of the people, so all state policies are directed at them in any case.
The third challenge is the rooting of a culture of dependence on the father and mother state that spends, subsidizes, employs and guarantees, which is not possible in all economies of the world, let alone in countries that spend more than they produce.
The fourth challenge is a dual challenge, which is represented in the small number of youth civil associations that are entrusted with discussing and implementing these policies, if they were set, and the ruling regime’s lack of confidence in these few associations and security’s apprehension about the youth’s participation, which then allowed them to participate in any activity.
This challenge also includes the lack of a legislative framework that allows the participation of Internet activists and actors in youth initiatives in an institutional capacity, away from their personal selves.
The fifth challenge is the unsustainability of any policy in the

During my visit to Alexandria to attend the celebration of the Library of Alexandria’s twentieth anniversary, I went through six experiences in one day..

Alexandria is still in my imagination the city of beauty and nobility, it is a close history as a multicultural cosmopolitan city, and a distant history that carries a special fragrant and flavor that we were waiting to taste every summer from San Stefano to Sidi Bishr, and from Raml Square to Mamoura and Montazah .. between the yellow taxi and the tramway And between summer and winter cinemas.. Alexandria is the most beautiful people.

During the past thirty years, my visits to Alexandria were limited to places, I go to attend a conference or give a lecture, or I attend the Board of Trustees of the Library of Alexandria .. I mostly stay in the Palestine Hotel or the Four Seasons, and I stay between one and two nights.

This time, I decided to taste Alexandria in a different way.

The first experience was in the great and wonderful Library of Alexandria, whose workers protected it from falls that could have destroyed it, when they stood with the people of Alexandria in a close line, hand in hand, to protect the library from destruction and fire that was practiced by fanatics during the January 25 revolution. They burned the ancient Alexandria governorate building and demolished it. Buildings that have a history, but even by pushing the herd, they could not do the same thing with the library. Rather, it was the behavior of its workers and those who joined them from the citizens of Alexandria and even some of the demonstrators who protected it from destruction.

The great library and its board of trustees of kings, former presidents and international dignitaries, with Egyptians of stature such as Farouk El-Baz, Amr Moussa, Farouk El-Oqda, Ahmed Kamal Abu El-Magd, Abdel-Aziz Hegazy and myself, joined forces to protect the library, its director who was almost harmed by the flood of injustice and chaos after January 25th, and he and his honorable history, and he Without him, the library would not have this international status and this unprecedented international cultural presence.

I mention here that I am Dr. Abdel Aziz Hegazy and Dr. Ahmed Kamal Abu Al-Majd were summoned to the prosecution for investigation in April 2011 while we were in the midst of a meeting of the Board of Trustees, with the aim of trapping Ismail Serageldin, the director of the library, and tarnishing his history with the aim of accusing him of neglecting the library’s funds, which did not happen, and the claim was proven false, as all the library’s funds were in Preservation and preservation in the Central Bank did not decrease a single penny.

My first experience today was in the edifice that did not fall, but is still growing, interacting and rising.

Serageldin gave an interesting lecture, in his capacity as the founder and first director of the library, and he took us through the history of twenty years of events, and I remembered while watching the pictures this quantity and quality of the achievements that were formulated in this unprecedented edifice.

In a procedure of much credit, the new director of the library, Dr. Ahmed Zayed, the workers who spent twenty years preserving it name by name, and the library director who preserved its existence after Dr. Serageldin, Dr. Mostafa El-Feki, until he handed over its leadership to Dr. Ahmed Zayed.. they are supported one after the other by Dr. Huda Al-Mikati, the respected professional memorizer of the library’s history.

The experience here is what I witnessed from the wonderful library orchestra and the library choir of adults and children, and the pride of the workers in each department of it, and their pride in belonging to it.

Everyone plays a symphony in harmony between the present and the past, with the music of the beautiful artist Rajeh Dawood, and Dr. Ismail for future prospects in science at the same time.

The library is Egypt’s civilizational, cultural and scientific treasure.

The second experience was my visit to the ancient University of Alexandria and its successful, proactive president who understood the role of the university in creating civilization, not just providing an educational service. Perhaps his experience as a former governor of Alexandria and his international communication made him an exceptional president of an exceptional university.

Alexandria University, with its various programs, its agreements with international universities, its branches outside the country, and its reception of students from outside Egypt, represents a model for Egypt’s 2030 vision in higher education in its administrative independence and academic freedom. We are proud of it and happy to have it.

The third experience was my walking tour in the evening alone in Raml Square and Safia Zaghloul Street, and my observation of the citizens, male and female, and the quality of the shops on both sides..

People, like most Egyptians, are very nice, and citizens sitting in front of the shops stopped me to welcome me with a friendliness I did not expect and a beautiful, endearing smile.

The number of shoe stores, which overwhelm all other types of stores, caught my eye, and I do not know the secret.

And my surprise was in the ways of displaying the goods heavily in the windows, which indicates an interest in quantity and not the use of modern display methods, and at the same time the lack of cleanliness in the street despite the presence of a good number of cleaners.

My pain was on the famous “Elite Café” without customers, and the darkness of its lighting.

Most of the girls cover their heads with a headscarf in different proportions, from a full cover including the neck, to a cover without covering the neck, to a partial cover with the back of part of the hair, to half of the hair, and the girls are mostly dressed despite the veil.

Men’s and youth’s clothes are mostly T-shirts and cut-off jeans, as in Western fashion, but the “conversational tone” needs social research about what happened to the Egyptian slang in the last 30 years.

I believe that what makes the street feel random in Raml Square are mass transit microbuses and mature people calling out to customers and announcing where vehicles are moving with a loud voice that overlaps with the sounds of motors, motorcycles, and Egyptian music similar to high-pitched rap music that corresponds to the new vernacular.

I believe that if respectable and organized means of transportation were available, the street might return to what befits the ancient city.

The violently lit advertising columns on both sides of the street caught my eye with a mixture that I only see in my country, from advertisements for goods, to advertisements for doctors and writing their specialties, as if the great profession is on an equal footing with advertisements for shoes .. For your information, this is prohibited by custom, law and professional ethics.
