LWT Philosophy

Before we start talking about that title up there “LWT philosophy”… Let me take a moment and introduce myself...

My name is May El-Dardiry, I’m 21 years old... a student in 4th year (final year) Mechatronics department- Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams university.

The journey I’m going to share with you now started 7 years ago... When I was exactly at 1st year secondary school...

I’ve been a member in the radio in our school for 2 years… it was a beautiful world to me… as I love writing and reading, it helped me so much to express who I really am… I was surrounded and supported by wonderful teachers all the way through that.

One day, one of my teachers - who was responsible about the radio - called for me!

“May, you have been now in this place for 2 years now… working and showing great passion… and it’s time to move a step forward… The school administration has assigned you as the head and the leader of this place”

I felt so excited but I had no idea how to start or even what I should do! My 1st leadership position in life… certainly I should feel lost!

Went to my head and stayed with her for more than 2 hours explaining to me every little tiny details of the work... Only then I felt a ray of light! Small thing to begin with!

Moved on, started thinking, chose my team and started working...

I have been through a lot as it was the 1st experience… You feel it’s dark, and your head is spinning, where I am going… what do I do… I don’t know!

The 1st 3 months were hard but things got better and I knew how to manage…

3 years passed, done some great work with my team that school is still till now talking about..

Graduated from school and now in the campus of faculty of engineering Ain Shams University…

WOW! Big world! Felt so small!

The 1st year was so hard... Have been stumbling in the darkness… struggling to just settle down and find my place.

By the 2nd term, things got better… wanted to do something extraordinary beside studying as I was working on activities in school… I’ve found one… I made an application but… I was rejected! So I decided to hold on as I can get to know college more and wait to see what’s going to happen next.

The 2nd year, I decided to go for it again… and unexpectedly, ACCEPTED! And this was my turning point.

I’ve made an exposure of a new world! A world of info and knowledge didn’t even know it exists!!! Felt refreshment and so much change!

Since then, I became extremely interested in Human Resources management and leadership...

I’m always looking for more… seek learning in every way… it’s so interesting… I just feel myself into it… feel so much energy and enthusiasm to go out there and just apply what I learn to help others and myself to get better…

Going into this, by time, felt same repeated in all books, same style of writing and same way of presenting info… I’ve started to get bored and stopped reading for a while!

Till one day, I’ve watched that video on youtube about leadership… it was talking about a book called “The leader who had no title”… the video was amazing! It attracted me a lot to the book.

Looked for it and finally I got it... the book came on time! 

As I started reading, a huge transformation happened within me deep inside... a stream of energy and optimism just run through my veins and I made a vow to transfer what I read to others as a part of the philosophy am going to talk to you about... 

But before we start, I want you to promise me something... something not for me but for yourself...

Promise me to think wisely and deeply about what you are going to read and to actually try it... it’s really simple and easy...

And a very important thing is to pass that knowledge and experience to others...

If you are ready to go that journey with me, then start up your engine and get ready to be inspired... get ready to change... Get ready to ride and achieve your greatness...
