Visionary leaders
You can purchase anything you desire if you possess wealth. You can even establish factories, import equipment and labor, but true self-reliance comes from manufacturing essential goods, developing production capabilities and nurturing skilled labor domestically. This stark contrast distinguishes between consumer nations, which exhaust their budgets and regress to square one, and developed, productive nations.We need visionary leaders who...

Where is Kuwait’s beauty?
The measure of success for strategic plans lies in active participation in the implementation process. Conversely, centralization signifies failure. In Kuwait, we have six governorates, each delineated by clear boundaries marked by signs in the streets (eg, welcome to Ahmadi governorate). However, these signs hold little significance as governors lack sufficient authority over their respective geographical areas. As a result, there is little to...

Mohammad Al-Sharekh: Lover of Arabic language
Our Arabic language is a queen crowned over all languages. If Arabs were not weak and divided — and some even hostile to the language - Arabic speakers would be found everywhere and in all arenas, proud of its pronunciation and the beauty of its meanings. Like any crowned queen, Arabic has keepers who guarantee her noble, prestigious life and guards to keep her out of harm’s way. Throughout history, these keepers have worked hard to preserve...

Ramdan and politics
Parliamentary elections during Ramadan often bring about a familiar scene: Gossip, lies, fraud and possibly bribery, whether overt or concealed. This unfortunate reality underscores the nature of political battles, where narratives are often embellished with exaggerations and falsehoods about opponents rather than focusing on achievements.Throughout history, politics worldwide has been built on deception. In the past, German politicians during...

Our youth are perishable cells
Biologists, scientists who study biology with a particular interest in cytology, assert that living cells are more sensitive while in the growing stage, whereas mature cells are harder to damage. As a specialist in radiology treating cancer cells, I can attest to the validity and accuracy of this information. Therapeutic radiation doesn’t kill mature cells; instead, it halts the growth of cells in the growing stage, which are the young cells...

Are you looking for change?
Each year, during the month of Ramadan, many people attempt to benefit from this distinguished period to seek positive changes in their lives. However, it is likely that many will fail in improving their lives, as those who seek change only during special occasions often face challenges. A few years ago, I attended a course about the kaizen method in management. Kaizen is a Japanese approach to change and development that emerged following...

Communication is the right way
During his 1946 visit to the United States, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill lost a significant amount of money playing poker with US President Harry Truman and his advisors. Churchill later humorously remarked that this loss was the best investment of his life.

Kuwaitis were heartbroken over the betrayal and the barbaric invasion. Kuwaitis returned fire and fought bravely. During the 1990’s, patriotic feelings were very deep. There were reforms and less corruption because Kuwait was rebuilt by energetic youths and men who wanted change. All the efforts were channeled towards responding to the enemies, punishing them for their atrocities, and building a better and stronger nation.As the years went by,...
