"It's not the things we get but the hearts we touch that will determine our success in life. Making a difference in the<br />

lives of others is what it is all about. In the end, however, the significance of our life will be determined by the<br />

choices we make. We can choose positive over negative, smiles over frowns, giving over taking and love over hate.<br />

It is only when we take responsibility for our choices that we begin to realize we truly are the masters of our fate.<br />

Only then will our lives begin to change for the better".<br />

While he was in Egypt Dr. Hany<br />

Moustapha was invited by the<br />

Egyptian Military Technical<br />

College (MTC) and spent three<br />

hours with its director and other<br />

Generals to discuss research and<br />

education collaboration opportunities,<br />

then he gave a lecture<br />

to final year aviation students<br />

and staff on future aviation technology<br />

challenges which was<br />

well received with lots of questions<br />

and follow-up.<br />

It was a real ceremony for Dr.<br />

Hany Moustapha with protocol,<br />

pictures, video, a token award,<br />

which he did not expect.<br />

It is worth to be mentioned,<br />

MTC is a very prestigious academy<br />

which admits only top<br />

graduating high school students<br />

with a total of 2500 students<br />

spread over its 5 year engineering<br />

program, plus another 200<br />

Master and Ph.D. About 20-<br />

25% of their departments and<br />

students are aviation with yearly<br />

conferences, competitions, workshops,<br />

etc.<br />

Dr. Hany Moustapha will be<br />

back to Egypt in January to<br />

give a short course and help<br />

them in organizing their 2017<br />

conference.<br />

When we asked Dr. Hany<br />

Moustapha about his feeling he<br />

answered:”Feel good about<br />

(finally) giving back to my<br />

origin”.
