Dr. Badrawi meets with young people in a symposium at the Supreme Council of Culture about his book on his coffee shop \u201cThe Dreamers of Tomorrow\u201d and his collection of articles on values \u200b\u200bin a symposium that discusses youth values \u200b\u200band social media.
\nOn a wonderful evening, Prof. Dr. Hossam Badrawi gave a speech to a large group of youth in the Supreme Council of Culture at the Opera House under the patronage of the Minister of Culture, Dr. Enas Abdel-Dayem, and under the supervision of Dr. Hisham Azmy – Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Culture and director \/ Ahmed El-Sayed – Rapporteur of the Youth Committee of the Council
\nThe symposium entitled \u201cYouth Values \u200b\u200bbetween Reality and Social Media.\u201d The symposium was moderated by Prof. Mona El-Hadidi – Professor of Sociology at the Faculty of Arts, Helwan University, with the participation of Prof. Ahmed Zayed – Professor of Political Sociology, Member of the Egyptian Senate.
\nDuring his interactive speech with young people, Dr. Badrawi pointed out the importance of values \u200b\u200bin our lives and the importance of redefining values \u200b\u200bto match reality
\nHe stressed the role of social media in changing our lives, which requires us to have a greater ability to choose and test what is presented to us so that it is useful to society and not the other way around.
\nIn response to a question from a young man about happiness, Dr. Badrawi said, “What you do not search for, you will not find it, and we have to search for our happiness. Some are happy in achievement and some are happy in making others happy and giving, and some are happy to read the book of the first meeting with family and friends, and some have happy genes and see beauty around them.” And he realizes the blessings of God upon him, so he is thankful and happy.
\nIn response to a question about the difference between pleasure and happiness, Dr. Badrawi explained that pleasure is linked to a high percentage of the hormone dopamine, and is short-term, while happiness is long-term, and linked to the hormone serotonin.
\nThey are two different cases.
\nPleasure is sensory, but happiness is emotional, psychological and mental.
\nPleasure, including sex and the moment of winning or getting money, can be part of a greater, broader and more comprehensive happiness, but it is not happiness itself.
\nWe can buy pleasure, but we cannot buy happiness. And pleasure can turn into an addiction, but happiness is a state of health that makes a person better, and sees in others a favor.
\nThere are people who have a high level of serotonin, which is hereditary, and their genes give them this predisposition to happiness like me. But each one can work on himself to generate this hormone by thinking positively.
\nPleasure is mostly taking only, but happiness is giving and taking, and what you do for others may be the source of your happiness.
\nI seek happiness and the happiness of those around me.
\nI am a man who thank God for my optimistic genes.
\nIt is worth noting that to increase the number of attendees, they were divided in another hall and follow the symposium via video, and the symposium was broadcast live on the page of the Supreme Council of Culture and the page of Dr. Hossam Badrawi
\nAt the end of the speech, Dr. Badrawi received the youth\u2019s questions and an important discussion took place about his inspiring lecture, which lasted for nearly three hours, amid interaction between him and the audience.<\/div>\n

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court.

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/HossamBadrawi"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7913"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8948,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7913\/revisions\/8948"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
