Fear of being forgotten
One day, I was talking with my older brother about the fears we experience as humans, fear of losing social status, fear of the unknown, and more.He then recalled a story from his university days. A sociology professor had given each student a blank sheet of paper and asked them to write down one fear that often came to mind, without writing their names. The students complied, and the professor read their responses aloud.Many fears were common: fear of losing loved ones, fear of the future, fear of war, and fear of failing to achieve dreams. But one response stood out — the fear of being forgotten.This fear is particularly prevalent in some Western societies, where relationships with the elderly or those suffering from memory loss, such as Alzheimer’s patients, can be weak. Many end up...

Royal Decree enhances integrity and recovers public funds
By Firas Ibrahim TrabulsiBy royal decree, new financial settlement regulations for corruption cases have been approved, marking a pivotal step in reinforcing the Kingdom’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and the recovery of misappropriated public funds.

Saudi Arabia redefines the pilgrimage experience, blending spirituality and modernity

Mohammed bin Salman: Pioneering a future of limitless possibilities
By Firas Ibrahim TrabulsiSince Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman assumed leadership in Saudi Arabia, his approach has been a masterclass in strategic planning and political wisdom. This leadership is not just about grand rhetoric; it has been translated into decisions and actions that have redefined the rules of the game on the international stage, positioning the Kingdom as a model for economic and social transformation.One of the most notable examples of this occurred during the early days of the Trump administration. When asked about the first country he planned to visit, President Donald Trump gave an answer that was more than a casual statement. It included a direct request for Saudi Arabia to purchase American products worth an enormous $500 million as a condition for being included...

Why do athletes earn such high incomes?
By Asim AbdulfattahPatrick, a university student, rushed into the lecture hall, panting heavily. Entering 15 minutes late, he was met with a disapproving glare from Professor Madeleine, a faculty member with over 25 years of experience, earning an annual income of $157,000.She frowned and said sternly, “Patrick, it seems you’re not taking your studies seriously. Your repeated tardiness won’t help you succeed in this course. You need to show commitment, discipline, and responsibility to succeed — you might end up homeless or struggling if you fail to graduate.”Patrick lowered his head, catching his breath, and drifted into a daydream about the upcoming college football game, where he hoped to lead his team to victory.Though not an exceptional student, Patrick was a star athlete...

Magdeburg tragedy: The consequences of ignoring explicit Saudi warnings
There is an old saying: “You cooked it, you eat it,” often used to describe someone, who makes poor decisions without heeding warnings or advice, only to face the consequences alone. This proverb seems tailor-made to describe Germany’s handling of Saudi Arabia’s warnings before the tragic car-ramming attack that struck the German city of Magdeburg.Saudi Arabia had set a clear example of international and ethical responsibility by issuing three warnings to German authorities about the danger posed by Talib Al-Abd Al-Mohsen. The suspect had demonstrated extremist tendencies and made explicit threats on social media platforms. These warnings were not casual alerts but based on precise and verified information derived from extensive monitoring of his alarming behavior. The Saudi...

Change before it's too late: How companies reinvent themselves
Businesses in the fast-paced environment of today have to make a crucial choice: either change aggressively or risk losing relevance.The forward-looking companies of Starbucks and Deloitte show how they welcome change—not as a reaction to a crisis but rather as a means of industry leadership.Both stories show the power of proactive transformation and how well it can turn potential mistakes into long-term gains.An epic collapse occurred in the late 2000s for Starbucks, the world's largest coffee chain today.By 2008 the business was facing declining sales, too rapid development, and a loss of brand identification.Consumers felt Starbucks had deviated from the personal and premium coffeehouse experience it always promoted by becoming too corporate and transactional.Understanding the...

After Assad: Syria’s road to stability
With the fleeing of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the collapse of the Syrian army, and the fall of cities such as Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, Hama, and Sweida into the hands of armed opposition factions, an important chapter in Syria’s modern history has drawn to a close.For nearly six decades, the Assad regime—first under Hafez and then his son Bashar—dominated the nation.Now, Syrians face immense challenges as they embark on rebuilding their country.Foremost among these is restoring security and stability to enable the return of millions of displaced Syrians and refugees to their homes. This process will require extensive reconstruction efforts.However, I hope this critical period will not be marred by prolonged conflicts, internal divisions, or external interventions.I have...
