Egyptian society is at a crossroads and the people have a choice between resurgence and chaos, said Amr Khaled, famous Islamic televangelist in a lecture he gave at AUC last Monday.
In the lecture, titled “Raise Your Head You Are an Egyptian,” Khaled addressed four main points integral to the advancement of Egypt and its population at large.
In his first point, Khaled expressed the importance of having a dream. He urged everyone to find a goal they strive to achieve.
“You must have a dream, you have no excuse not to dream,” said Khaled.
He described the Aswan Dam as being the last dream Egyptians accomplished. Khaled also stressed on the willingness to
make sacrifices, explaining that the road to victory will entail many. ‘The sky is your limit’ was the theme of his first point.
