Going to shops or workshop in the area and browsing around was my passion as a child. I went to all kind of workshops starting from furniture making, to decoration, painting, and gold handcrafting, …etc. I was looking, at everything intensely, to learn, to get to know, to explore whatever my mind can think of, my eyes can reach, and my feet can take me to. I opened my own business at 17, with a computer service office in Benghazi, east of Libya. Since then, continued working in the same filed, founded Almaqar ITC in Tripoli, the capital of Libya in 1997. Almaqar developed from small business office to a full service company with computer training and programming services. Success was a partner to a 9 months period of excessive managing which made the loosing company change to a profitable business making growth of 400% on sales. The company became an address for efficiency and productivity resulting in an increase in its profit, while the main aim was to grow the business to need more working force to open doors to more homes to be taken care of as a result of that, employees gone from 7 to 17 member in the company that has a new headquarters and new basis for every thing Meanwhile, I volunteered for social activities and charity work in a hard hostile environment of the tyranny domination, trying to do the best possible to reach the people and help the needy. A charity program was started in 2006. Its aim was to fed families in need. The beginning was with only two families in 2006 to become more than 600 families in 2010 expanded over four different cities of the country. My scope for charity work and social activities grew to different areas. Human development was another great interest of mine. I used my own experience and started touring high schools and giving lectures to educate kids and encouraging them to build their personality, in a way to let them discover their inner treasures and try to bring it out. This made them more knowledgeable and armed them with the tools they need to better understand life, and live it, as it should, simple and enjoyable. School touring was started in 2011 after the revolution in Libya. Since, it became easier for everyone to speak out and talk and show his/her ideas and actions. My path in writing in the web started since 2001 by blogging in Arabic mainly in forums, then in 2008 I begun to blog at my own blogger page. In my writing I tried to spot social problems in my community, light them up, and either offering direct solutions as I see them or inspire people to think of some solutions that suits them better and make their lives more fun to live. The idea of reaching more wide range of people has evolved in my mind to give the birth to a radio station. It carries the same essence of my blogging but providing it with a different tool, audible tool. Its still a new project but the audiences grow slowly and steadily. The broadcast right now covers the whole city of Tripoli and some of the surrounding areas. But, the plan is set to broaden it to reach the whole country. Funding myself by my own business is what makes things go steady even if its slow, nothing stands against what I am trying to do but the circumstances that blowing the country now days, trying to get benefit of the change working hard to do the best I can to make a people’s lives better at least in the direction they control their lives, as much as its possible for one person to do and more, Targeting the future with wider effect on changing people’s way of living to be more productive and cooperative for their own good , for all of us thank you for reaching this point reading some part of what i am . thank you :)

Have you ever thought about reading a user manual for a new device you just got? Or anything that is important for you? How much we trust the user manual? We trust it because the manufacturer or creator of the device has wrote it, right? … Have you ever thought of having a user manual for the most precious thing that you have ever got … a user manual for your own self!!! … Yes, you, yourself, are the most treasured thing you have ever got, no doubt!!! That user manual will solve all of your problems and reveals to you the purpose of your existence, isn’t that a marvelous thing to find? Think about it!!!

My first ted experiences was at TEDxTripoli in 2012 right after the liberation of Tripoli, it was the first time I meet TED in that event and I got excited to know more as I became addicted to see videos of Tedtalks with all the new ideas and the inspirations they contain.
