Not a goodbye but see you soon! This photo was taken 7 years ago in New York, where i decided that i'll definitely be back again. But this time im going back as a student and as a guy who's lost in today's fast-paced life. An attempt to self discover, reflect and develop. Ever since I finished the military service I literally haven't slowed down for a day. I worked 2- sometimes 3 – jobs at the same time!! People say the I am good with time management but the truth is I over do it, even with my breaks. I over do everything to the extent that i forget to slow down and breath. This will be the biggest and longest change ive done in my whole life; biggest investment and biggest risk as well. So please wish me luck and pray for me to stay focused, grounded and to get the best out of this experience. I wouldn't have a chance to embark on this experience without the support of my partner and brother @mohamedelbassiouni .. I owe you big for this one! New York get ready and Egypt, see you soon 🙂

I recently heard this phrase that resonated with me “Don’t Get Bitter – Get Better” It is important to know your worth, your value, set your goals and get started. It’s ok to be jealous of others’ success but use this jealousy wisely. Make sure to be happy for them, see what you can learn from them and create the best version of yourself. #picturecredit @mohammed.tommy . . . #beunique #bethechange #beyourownsuccess #mariam_farag #womeninleadership #womeninmedia . . . من المهم أن تعرف قيمتك، حدد أهدافك وابدأ. ممكن تشعر بالغيرة من نجاح الآخرين ولكن استخدم هذه الغيرة بحكمة. تأكد من أن تكون سعيدًا لهم ، فخورا بهم وانظر إلى ما يمكنك تعلمه منهم وإنشاء أفضل نسخة من نفسك. #التميز ء#التغيير #النجاح
