How do you see success?

For my mood and my attitude these days, I should be really disappointed by now, sad and really pesimistic, but for some reason I’m not. Yesterday, I have received a mail from MIE that our graduation project team has been eleminated from the competition and we will not be able to go to the finals. Although we expected this before we recieve the mail, but we had hope because MSAD didn’t reply.

Anyway, I’m not sad, the experience as a whole was great, and I really recommend it for all. May be we will miss some new stuff we could have learnt till we reach the finals, but we learnt a lot during the summer training and while the market research phase, contacting sponsors and communicating with them in a very business way.

A trip to Tanta 03

Although it’s just 10 days or less, but I miss being there. I miss Mandour, Bassem, Aboul So3od, Mo3taz and especially Ahmed Salah and much more… Talking, laughing, joking and thinking without even knowing each other before. I learned a lot, I have to admit, not from just attending a session but from relations I have created there. I hope we stay in contact in the future.

The last day, one of the most inetersting training days, we started with Business Writing, and the guy was OUTSTANDING. He is from England I think, he knows exactly the content needs to be delievered and how to professionally do the job. I can give him 15 of 10 for this GREAT session. Then came Pizza Station, Fedex and Axon ‘s General Manager in Egypt, a 25 or something years old Architectural Engineer who has 4 companies in that las 4 year. A proven example on Entrpreneaurship, I was really ineterested listening to him asking him how could he do that in just 4 years. He is a good example for young business men in Egypt and I hope one day I can do something like that. The day ended with MIE Competion next steps and milestones’ session by Mr.Tamer Darweesh the MIE Chariman. We have a deadline on next November 28^th, Rabena ma3ana and please pray for us. Then came the closing session, which contained some funny stuff, like the movie in which all people are asleep in Dr.Safa’s Session :D, some poems from talented MIE competitors, and Certificates for the teams won on the Ethics competion held on the first day.

A trip to Tanta 02

More and more I enjoy it, learn a lot and really I’m lucky I got this training. I didn’t attend the fourth day, for my bad luck, I heard that they had a really great session about Negotiation Skills and another one about PDD (Product Design and Development) and the feedback mentioned was really awesome about both. I think my team mates will do great presenting both to us. Fifth day was an intorduction to Market and Marketing Research, and WOW, is that what is really done?! I’m really amazed of all these steps to just start your own business life cycle – This should be completed in another way in the Entrpreneaurship Session in the last day -.

A trip to Tanta 01

Most of you know that my graduation team has been selected with another 239 team to join the MIE – Made in Egypt – competition, I have attended two sessions uptill now, Negotiation Skills and Mind Mapping which both were FASCINATING! The instructors are really great, they know exactly what they are doing and how to deliver it to the audience. I have learned a lot in the last couple of days really, I have been put in more than one situation that required being in action most of time.
