Five years ago, I was very excited about public speaking. So, I spent a great deal of time reading about and researching my new favorite subject. Online search was my favorite tool. Accordingly, I have googled many aspects of public speaking. For example, speech writing, body language, gestures and posture. However, one important thing was missing: practice.I believe one of the main reasons that I was a passive learner was that I regarded my previous knowledge and experience as less important.

When they want to learn something, they...

In his address to the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh last month, he said: “70 percent of Saudis are under the age of 30. In all honesty, we will not waste 30 years of our lives being dragged into extreme ideas, we will destroy them, now and here.”That statement sheds light on a problem that Saudi society has suffered from, which is an interpretation of Islam that swept into Saudi society in the 1980s (hence, the 30 years the Crown Prince mentioned).As a young Saudi, these words mean much: seeing my country undertaking a mission to self-modernize, prosper and face all challenges with such confidence, ambition and openness led by a young population, and, more importantly, a young...
