My visit to Davos

My visit to Davos

Good day to all Brain Users,
I want to inform you with the news that I was invited to Davos to take part in the "6th Davos Philanthropic Round Table"  hosted by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation. The founder of this foundation is a great man of Ukraine, Mr. Victor Pinchuk. I wish we had people like this in my country. Coming back to my experience, when I reached to the area where the event was going to take place, some journalists took my interview. After them many other people came to interview. Okay now I will skip to the point where I am called on stage. Mr. Victor Pinchuk introduced me most graciously. He made me feel at home. The atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming. I didn't feel that I was the only child among so many adults.The only thing that bothered me was that......MY MOM MADE MY HAIR TOO TIGHT. Now I will tell what I felt about the all panellists apart from the fact that they were all adults:

Thomas Friedman:

• Before I met him, I googled him up(Thank you Google for allowing me to spy on every person, just kidding) and the pictures made him look serious. Then I made an important discovery that he is a jolly person.
• He asked me many question but my favourite one was: "As a young Pakistani girl, did you feel that this is giving you an opportunity that you wouldn't have had as a young girl or woman?"

Daphne Koller:

• She was as sweet as I thought she would be. She was really polite. It was really nice to see another female.
• I really like what she said about the autistic child who rocked the poetry course. P.S. She was looking very pretty.

Rafael Reif:

• I was glad to meet him because he shook my hand when he came on stage and he looks really polite. He looked like a revolutionary. A man with vision.
• I really liked when he said that there is a pressure point in america, because MOOCs will inexpensive education.

Lawrence Summers:

• I liked him because he has cool boots and great cowboy type accent. He also gave lots of good examples.
• The best thing he said was: "When you expect things to take time, they happen quicker." and I loved his football example.

Peter Thiel:

• He looked like the perfect businessman: the immaculate dressing. He looked like a progressive guy who loves taking challenges.
• The best thing he said was: "If you borrow money for college you won't get out even if you get personally bankrupt." and I think it is an eye-opener for everyone.

Sebastian Thrun:

• As he was the only one I knew, I liked everything about him. He is polite and very very Udacious. So stay Udacious and stay awesome.
• The best thing he said was: "Do what you're passionate about, don't aim for a job because the perfect job will find you." I think he is 100% right about that.

Bill Gates:

• I like him because everybody likes him, just kidding. I like him because he founded Microsoft making our life at ease and he(I don't know why) reminded me of Stephen Hawking.
• The best thing he said was :"We do have to eventually reduce cost of education."

Muhammad Yunus and Jimmy Wales:

• They both raised the most important points in this discussion. I loved when Muhammad Yunus said: "This is the way we can design things in a way we do not have any child left out."

This discussion inspired me a lot and gave me new ideas. I want to spread the message that education is a blessing and it can bring a meaning to your life.Education should be at the doorsteps of every human being ,it should be accessible for every child ,no matter where they are ,its their  right
Thanks for the taking the time to read this.
