I’m Sorry CAT
It has been quite long since I thought about writing this, and I was going to write it public, but I’m having bad times these days and I thought that it’s better to talk than exploding.
I have been the CAT (Computer Assistance Team) coordinator and like any coordinator I had revolutionary ideas and I was totally ready to implement and see things work out, but the fact that I was too busy and I had another friend who should have been working with me, but he left me almost alone and that was awesome.
For the first time in my life I admit that I’ve FAILED in managing time between my work and CAT, and I was giving my best to achieve my goals but people here in egypt need more effort that I’d imagined. They need pushing all the time and supporting and stuff which I need higher availablity than I could provide.
I’ve alwayes believed that I’m a good leader but now I feel that I’m the worst because I couldn’t achieve none of my goals and my bright future scenes didn’t come to existance. maybe it’s not my fault directly, but in a way or another it’s mine.
so I’m saying to CAT that I’m sorry, and I’ll keep doing my best to give although I took nothing except enemies and lost of trust. and as they always say “Opportunities are like snakes, if you didn’t eat them, they eat YOU!” and I couldn’t take advantage of the opportunity I had and seriously I was EATEN, because I feel now like crap, having no time to do anything except working, working, working and trying to do something for CAT to make people remember me.
anyway I’m not fond of being coordinator and I still believe that I could do something if I was busy, but it’s my fault, and I should have been more wise to say it clearly.
Sorry again, and all I can say is that I can’t be in that place again, I’m no more a coordinator, but will keep doing my best to do something for CAT.
Good Bye CATs.

Thanks Ihab,
First of all, I’ll continue working with CAT without hesitation, but It’s a fact that I had a great failure in this position and I couldn’t manage my time.
Thanks again for your support,

Well well well
I wish that i could comment frankly.. but i will tell you that between you and me
.. any way.. it’s not about the “where” you do your best.. It’s about the “how” you do it… (as long as you do it :P)… I mean… Look at me.. 
I am the only one in the world who consider me a CAT member… Even YOU (the rest of CAT members) don’t “really” consider me as one… but I insist… Just suit yourself.. You’ve already given enough…
C YA ;o)

Thanks MonTarO for you support,
but let me tell you something,
When I told you that we need time to set things up in CAT and then we would delegate the authority to members to take responsiblity, I was SERIOUS and in my famous “Mission Statement” I told people that we had enough and things are going smooth in CAT and we need more managers, and then I had the foundations Idea which if was correctly implemented and advertised *one of my mistakes* it would have been GR8, and we could be having many activities running these days and so.
Even the most active members became more active and started implementing thier ideas as foundations but suddenly everything became inactive and thing went DEAD.
By considering that the most active and welling-to-work members are working outsite college (this is a fact), they are facing hard times compromising between their personal work and the CAT work, and ofcourse the CAT work is having less priority.
I was sharing the coordination thing with Ahmed Abdallah, and we were working smoothly and the main reason of making 2 coordinators is the failover facility, so when I’m busy *which 98% of my time* he can do the work for me and he is totally responsible as I’m for this failure, the problem happened when we both became busy so there is no other solution, and if the foundation system was going correctly and people are enough motivated, they should be working independantly so they don’t require being free or not, they should be working with their ideas and their management style in addition to their foundation members.
but people in college needs motivation and guidance, none is self-motivated and welling-to-work.
Thanks in Advance,
–Ahmed Soliman

look , in brief …..
There’s no failure …. even if it seems to exist
There’s always a new Strategy
just Take a truce … check the advantages , disadvantages, make a new plan and choose the right people without any emotions …just keep away from the wrong people
your key in the new Strategy is just one thing (good leaders and stay oaway from leakers)
and always make a day for an enterview with new bloods to keep bad bloods
from the pure blood ..
and remember :-
There’s new failure
(It’s just you’re on your right way to succeed .. just continue with a tough heart)
If you wanna make difference :- just belive ……..
