The Characteristics of the Enlightened Group

The enlightened group is characterized by its persistent work, honest will and hopeful spirit in dealing with the issues and problems of the nation. In spite of the selfish and noisy nature of the motionless group, the enlightened one works and bears a huge responsibility to keep the wheels of the nation in constant motion, because it believes in the value of the homeland. Such an elite stands like a stable minaret shining continuously and enlightening intellectually to be like a strong power pushing everything forward. The reason behind this is that such an elite realizes the challenges of knowledge revolution in the third millennium. The following are some of the features characterizing the enlightened group:

It has a message and a vision believing that work is for people and not for any personal interests. This is the view that enlightens paths darkened by ignorance; it is the patriotic feeling that believes in the role of humans, intellectuals, artists who are responsible for developing the present. At this stage the vision moves from the personal disposition, which is considered a main obstacle to growing, to the public disposition, which pushes the wheel of work to achieve development and progress. Hence, this group is capable of managing the geometry of the new formulas, such as a developing vision seeking changing the reality. It is considered a kind of participation in making decisions, a sense of social responsibility, of citizenship with the concept of "the opposite hero" and "resistance hero"; resistance against randomness, opportunism, racism and extremism. Accordingly, this enlightened group provides a modal of the national hero who has the ability to cause a kind of social motion that spreads everywhere is the society moving it towards development and modernization.

Mastering work. This group respects work and masters it so much that it becomes a kind of pleasure for them to work, and this is a fundamental base for their success. In this way the enlightened group provides again an Asian example of its devotion to discuss everything seriously and make time schedule, plans and programs for the sake of public interests. It's not a kind of competition for others; it's a competition for the self in order to form a system of values promoting the values of working and achieving the best.

This group's motto is future vision; leaving the world of yesterday- in which we usually confine ourselves- and the world of today to the space and wideness of tomorrow, through planning it and turning it from a static moment to a dynamic act. This is attained also through turning the moments of defeat to moments of preparing for victory, and the moments of frustration to moments of hope. Such a vision is the thought concerned with preparing for the future using a scientific course specified for an enlightened generation aware of its role towards the society in facing civilized challenges. By the group, we do not only mean a number of individuals, but we also mean individuals individually, as every one is a moving group enlightening, wakening, guiding, directing and lightening dark roads in order to make it like a digital unending progression.

In our beloved country we own lots of enlightened groups such as Reading For All project, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, October Bridge, the Opera House, El Salam Bridge, the Constitutional Reformation, Nagib Mahfouz, El Baradeey, the Underground, Ahmed Zwail, Mostagir, Farouq El Baz, the Northern Coast, the Antiques of Luxur, El Sanhoury, Mansoura Kidneys Institute, the treasure of the Egyptian House of Books...

We have to duplicate these enlightening minarets with facing the main challenge aiming at moving the motionless group and turning it into a participating moving one; another enlightened group in the system of the society, and hence developing the value of moving forward towards new concepts of the patriotic work in a our beloved dear country.
