Q: TELL US A FEW THINGS ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY, AND ALSO YOUR LIFE'S STORY!

Situated on the Northern shore of Africa, Algeria is a vast country in both area and culture. I live in the north-west of the country in a full of heritage city called Tlemcen. Cultures, customs and traditions vary from one city to another. To make the change even more genuine the land climate and geography also change dramatically as you roam from one place to the other.
This diversity guarantees an entire fulfilment of all one's exploration and adventures fantasies. Packed with wonderful surprises, most tasty foods and astonishing natural panoramas, even Algerians are still to experience all the varieties it has in store for them. 

Graduating my Master's degree last year in Automation and Industrial Computing, I took some time to experience some of what it has to offer just to fall more captive to its beauties.

Before graduating my couple last years at the university were quite eventful. I ran a campus club for robotics where we met friends and enthusiasts of robots to build and share knowledge. We set up and delivered a couple events on campus and in different expositions and had fun and learned a ton.

What is most nice about those experiences is that we got to craft a handful of soft skills and abilities that we couldn't otherwise have, while at the same time having some quality time and experiences.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR VIEW OF THE WORLD AS IT IS TODAY? AND HOW DO YOU DEFINE THE CONCEPT OF A BETTER WORLD?

The world has always been quite the same as the change of figures, names or locations does not entirely make things completely new. 

A better world is a compassionate one. One where we are humbled by our humanness and mortality and blown by our capacities and limitless potentials.

Q: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE KEY CHALLENGES IN YOUR SOCIETY?

As is the global case, openness that technology brought to our lives has made even our challenges similar. As the saying goes, the amount of the universe you see is decided by how wide your eyes are open. The key challenge, I believe, is to find the way to open our eyes to see the full problem and discover as well, our abilities and potential to address it properly whether it is an ecological, economic or societal challenge.

Q: AS A YOUNG INDIVIDUAL WHAT ARE A FEW OF THE HURDLES THAT YOU HAD TO OVERCOME UP UNTIL TODAY?

The hardest hurdle I had to overcome was my limiting beliefs, one example of it that many will relate to is public speaking. The first time I took up on a stage to speak, I was stressed panicked and shut up completely. The most fearful belief I had was the humiliation and I had just experienced it with all its vigour. 
Fortunately enough, facing that fear had the complete liberating effect, and the next time I was on the stage I spoke to about 130 people, a full conference room. I still experience anxiety before a speakership but it's the moderate healthy dose which lessens the more speeches I deliver.

Q: WHY IS THE ROLE OF A MENTOR IMPORTANT FOR YOU?

A mentor is an outsider that can provide you with the fresh set of eyes you need to fully come to grips with your performances, and provide an objective opinion on the aspects of your person or actions that need to be better. The willingness of the mentor is a huge advantage that anyone can hope for in his life, a lifetime of experiences and wisdom that is invaluable.

Q: DO YOU HAVE A LESSON THAT LIFE HAS TAUGHT YOU AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?

The most valuable lesson I think would be to "Just do it!", to not think too much and just go take the opportunity. In the worst case, you will be wiser!

Q: NAME A PROJECT, A FOUNDATION OR A PERSON IN YOUR COUNTRY THAT YOU THINK IS DOING GREAT WORK IN HELPING IMPROVE OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES!

"Djazair El Khir", is an association of volunteers which are doing great charitable initiatives. The fact that youth are aware and able to address the challenges of their own societies is the first leap towards a better world.

Q: SHARE WITH US A PHRASE, A POEM OR A STORY THAT YOU LOVE OR YOU FIND INTERESTING!

Coming to peace with one's self.

Q: TELL US ONE THING THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED FROM YOUR MENTOR.

Practicality. As a dreamer, I often get caught up in idealism. Seeing the bare reality and considering the practicality of my actions is the healthy antidote to complete idealism. It also helps one be mentally stronger.
