I firmly believe that all great things come from a balance of constructive criticism and positive reinforcement. A lack of balance will put anything and anyone at risk of not developing their full potential, and stunt any type of hopeful growth. If I am someone who is trying my best to achieve a dream, or achieve growth, or achieve change, it only makes sense that positivity will encourage me to move forward, and negative criticism will most likely cause me to give up. Constructive criticism is beneficial when given in small amounts. I mean to say, for every 1 negative thought put forward, 2 positive thoughts should also be put forward to balance out. Consider a small child. Or even someone in secondary school. Constant words like "you are doing this wrong" "I can't believe you don't know this" "look at how badly you did this" "you are not smart" "you are not taking anything seriously"will really damage a person.
Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, the Egyptian scientist, 1presented a TV show under the title “science and faith" in which he objectively presented the right scientific information. However, years after the show was closed, our media is specialized currently in presenting several myths and superstitions instead of science. Few days ago, Tamer Amin, Egyptian anchor, presented in a program aired on Saudi Channel talked about "Supreme Council of the World".
I am very optimistic that the situation in Egypt is getting more stable. This is crystal clear comparing to the situation in 2013. Such optimism is indeed supported by the Egyptian state waging war against corruptionز The new government comes with the election of a new parliament after the revolution of June 30. 90 million Egyptians are waiting for this hoping for better future for their children. However, several challenges are facing our country, and people are expecting more security and better standards of living.
It was not strange to Mubarak, who was not elected by the Egyptians, to take several mysterious decisions and keep them mysterious to the people. After Mubarak was overthrown, his men tried to continue such hateful policy, but they didn’t realize the fact that the Egyptians now elect their president. President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi appointed Ibrahim Mehleb as the Egyptian Prime Minister. However, he was removed suddenly from his office for some reason like he didn’t answer a question by a journalist who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood making the Egyptian government looks too bad, or he is involved in corruption cases like the one of the agriculture minister Salah Helal. However, we should know why he chose the new Prime Minister.
A Friend told Pope Tawadros that many bishops, priests and monks publish inappropriate topics on their Facebook pages. The Pope asked him to tell them to take heed. However, some of them said they know what’s on their pages and others denied it completely. Satellite dishes became crucial inside monasteries. They are not dedicated to receive Christian channels. They are entitled to do the service not to receive it. All technology can be used by the devil to attack the clergy. This technology may be very destructive to their spiritual life. Listen to the bible saying: “be vigilant, because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
For the past few days I’ve been following two main Issues, first was the refugees of Syria and other countries to Europe with a main demand [Better Chances of LIFE] and this by no means mean they are threatened in their lives due to Daesh -ISIS- massacres, many of those refugees come from African Countries far away from Daesh atrocities, they are just looking for a better life, including some of the Syrian refugees who left Syria from governorates not under attack but chances of work and life are too little if none in a country that suffers for years now from instability due to the Arab Spring, or conspiracies or what so ever reasons!
America has almost a million negatives, when I look at it as a negative. I can even be so bold as to say, so does any other Western country. Americans are for the most part, money hungry, power hungry, capitalists. America is a consumer based society, where the thirst for power seems to be never satiated. Having said that, however, there is one thing that we can see from looking at any Western country, and hope to achieve this one day, and this is devastation shock and the strength to rebuild. The events of 9/11 were horrendous. So tragic that hundreds lost their lives due to fanatics and their distorted actions. I’m ok with anyone believe in anything, but when it affects the people around you, then it’s time to reflect and adjust accordingly. The beliefs of these sick animals affected hundreds of people and changed their lives forever. Even look to Canada and the terror attack on Pa
Egyptian newspapers have been talking for a while about the nomination of the Salafi Nour Party for some Copts on its electoral lists. This is now accepted and totally permissible by leaders of the Salafist call who used to prevent this as unlawful. They believe the Copts are infidels along the year, but forget about such fact during the elections. It’s really a filthy political game to legitimize the party, which is based on an entirely religious basis against the Constitution. Does Sheikh Berhamy forget about his earlier statement in which he called the Copts infidels who shouldn’t take any political office? Now, his party invites the Copts to run for elections on the lists of the Salafis!
Many Copts have been talking about the civil marriage as a magical solution to personal status cases that Christians have been suffering from. However, marriage in Egypt is usually performed by Muslim or Christian clergy according to the Egyptian law. I believe that Civil marriage for Muslims and Christians may cause several problems including inheritance laws and polygamy.
The religion of the Egyptian state is Islam according to Article II of the Egyptian constitution. This article made the state ignores another part of the Constitution that prohibits establishing religious-based political parties. Egypt and the whole world suffered from terrorist attacks by groups of political Islam. Therefore, it was stated in the Egyptian constitution that such groups are not allowed to practice political activities. Couple of hours ago, parliamentary candidates filled application of nomination to the parliament. Egyptian nominees were fighting to fill the applications. Electoral bribes appeared as well including money and medicine. For example, al-Nour ultra conservative party trading on illness of the people promised to give them expensive treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Religious parties trading on both religion and illness of the people are going to present electoral bribes including food substances as well.
The first parliamentary elections after the glorious revolution of June 30 will be elected soon. This parliament is very important for Egypt with several challenges inside and outside Egypt. America, the supporter of terrorism around the world, is working against the Egyptian state. Therefore, it supports the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis aiming to turn Egypt into another Syria, Iraq, Libya or Yemen.
It is not the main reason of this article to talk about the famous Zero of Mariem Malak that obviously it was meant by the Muslim Brotherhood or better the Devil Brotherhood to create a sectarian conflict and disturbance that the blessed people of Egypt once again passed the opportunity for it!
Because I have experience working for the government for such a long time, I wanted to talk about the new Civil Law for the governmental employees today. Lately, a lot of governmental organizations declared that they will organize a demonstration against the law.
Many of us experienced injustice and knew it feels so bad for the wronged person. The bigger the problem a person has, the more bad we usually feel. This is what Mariam Malak, the young Coptic girl who received zero marks in all her summer exams, should feel. Couple of days ago, she was announced a winner in her claim by several newspapers, but suddenly she was claimed a liar by the Forensic Research Department report. The Acting Attorney General had ordered to close the case after that report.
Right before the overthrown of the regime of the Muslim Brotherhood, the terrorist group announced massive gas discovery in the Western desert of Egypt. The MB talked too much about it, but suddenly the news was denied. At that time, we knew that it was propaganda by the Muslim Brotherhood aiming to claim that they only bring good to Egypt.
The upcoming visit of King Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud to America proves that a servant can’t stay away from his master for long time. The oil-based relations started between the two countries by the meeting of Abdulaziz / Roosevelt in 1945. The relations are indeed very powerful, and are used by America in the game of balances in the region.
I don’t usually watch CNN as it is not very honest news channel. However, I was visiting friends outside of Canada and them only had the news channels CNN and the Chinese News Agency. I wanted to watch the news about the opening of the New Suez Canal. CNN never mentioned a word about the New Suez Canal Project or its positive impact on the Egyptian economy or world trade. From the other hand, the Chinese News Agency dedicated one hour talking about the important project. It added that China has signed an agreement with Egypt to build 50 factories in the Canal Zone and building large stores and warehouses in the same area to store consumer goods near the Europe market.
Time never waits we run after it, time and time again we had to accomplish things because time would not wait for us! Suez Canal a living example it was an ambiguous project that Egyptians united behind their army and leader had to run to overcome time! They did accomplish a three year project in just one year! It is clear when Egyptians are challenged and they did accept the challenge nothing can stop them! Time and time again since Pharaohs times the ascended of Pharaohs proved their tough challenging skills, times and times again their land was occupied as occupants thought or got the illusion that the secret of success lies in the magic of that land not the personal skills of its owners! However, those owners with passion and love for the land did free it from those occupants to live free!
The last visit to the president Sisi to Rusha is absolutely dramatic change in Egyptian foreign policy. Sisi visited Rusha 3 times in about 2 Years which give us a clear indication that Egypt is no longer keen only on its relation with US and neglect other historical allies. No one can deny that president Al-Sisi has a view and a plan for the Egyptian foreign Policy. That plan depends on Independency in Egyptian Policy and not accepting any pressure especially from the United States. After 30 years from being sub-ordinate to the united states now Al-Sisi adopt different approach in the Egyptian foreign policy.
Yahya Rifai Soror, leader in the Salafi front, said that humans don’t have the right to live unless they worship God the right way. Therefore, it was lawful for ISIS to slay the Copts in Libya since they are infidels. He added that it is shameful for the Muslims that Christians were safe after the military coup. He added on Facebook that shedding the blood of the Copts and all supporters of Sisi is permissible. Slaughter of Copts is but a religious duty, he explained. This is a sample of statements made by Salafi leaders, which makes it clear that they don’t respect Egyptian citizenship or human beings, and therefore, they don’t deserve to live on the Egyptian land.
Governor of Qaliobia appeared in a video underestimating the explosion at Counter Terrorism Department. The governor continues his negligence to consider such terrorist attack a natural one like dozens of terrorist attacks in Sinai. Surveillance cameras didn’t work, but the comment of the governor is the real crisis. I doubt he understands that the terrorists have attacked Counter Terrorism Department.

An Arabic language teacher from the Qabaa school in the Nozha district flogged a Coptic pupil ten years old named Bibawi Faragallah 40 times with an electric wire last week.
