Dr. Hossam Badrawi Official Website
At the invitation of Professor Suhair Al-Sakri, President of the Cairo Lottery Club, Dr. Hossam Badrawi participated today, Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at the Pasha Complex, in a wonderful symposium about his book “Egypt in My Mind” as the main speaker. During his speech, Dr. Badrawi expressed the different views of people towards Egypt. Some are optimistic who see hope, and some are pessimistic who see the negatives and magnify them and kill hope. Some are not interested, see what is happening and do not care. When we ask how people see Egypt, we find differences. Some see it as great and full of scientists, artists, beauty and history, and some see it from different religious or political angles, but they agree on its greatness and love and that it is the cradle of civilizations and the mother of the world. Some see only the present Egypt and see it full of corruption and negatives. He stressed that this is what worries him, as the majority of young people want to travel in search of a better life, expressing that the goal of the fourth and fifth generation wars is to kill hope in the eyes of young people so that they see everything dark around them, and social media has a role. It is a big deal if it is misused and we share its negatives without awareness, and the role of governments is to transform this negative energy into positive energy through educational institutions and national dialogue platforms, as the function of politics is to make the masses happy. Then Dr. Badrawi moved to the future of Egypt, stressing that the cycle of civilization has become incredibly accelerating and the future is changing and its features are being redrawn every moment. Will we be participants in making this future or will we just be recipients? Then Dr. Badrawi talked about the influential difference that artificial intelligence has made in the data we live today and what could happen in the future as a result of this amazing progress, as many jobs will disappear and life will not be as we know it now. Then he added that we can certainly be an important part of making the future if we make the best use of our resources, stressing that the technological revolution has put us all on the same starting line so that we will not need to return to the past to change it so that we can catch up with the future. Here, we must reconsider developing our educational system to keep pace with these changes and move away from stereotypes in education and urge students to use their minds, think, doubt and research, with the necessity of establishing a set of values Agreed upon in their conscience to become useful to themselves and their country, the main goal of education is to build an integrated, flexible personality that makes the future, and finally Dr. Badrawi concluded his speech by saying that the Egypt in his mind is the great Egypt that builds on its past to make its future, to be filled with optimism and positivity, the Egypt in his mind is full of tolerance and acceptance of the different and difference, stressing that the Egypt in his mind is the Egypt in the mind of every loving Egyptian…. Then Dr. Badrawi concluded his speech amidst loud applause from the attendees who approached Dr. Badrawi after the discussion session that followed his speech to take memorial photos with him and have him sign his book. The symposium was more than wonderful, interspersed with beautiful singing segments and wonderful musical performances. Counselor Adel Abdel Baqi, Minister of Local Development and former Minister of the Council of Ministers, Dr. Sohair El-Sokary, Dr. Ahmed Mustafa Shawky, Chairman of Mazars Accounting Consulting Company, and Mr. Mohamed Hassouna, Honorary Secretary of the Rotary Club, attended the meeting.
