A Life Time of Educational Exploration: The Quest for

Applied Experiments in Logistics

From 1996 to now, the phase of DAM (Dedication +Application + Motivation) good learning process hasbeen set in motion.

Leon Cass, University of Chicago and NIH (Bio-Ethics)states in an interviewwith Humanities Magazine (May /June 2009), I thought that education as preparation forlife. And therefore after education is where the action is.as mere means, and life.

It took me long time to see that education waslifelong activity and that teachers were not simplinstruments but in fact models of the kind ofthoughtfulness and therefore perhaps even the bestkind of life

Challenges of Demystification in a Transforming

Economy of Kuwait and GCC region

Humility in a learning community will translate intointellectual curiosity for the arcane subject in a businessspecialization Logistics & Supply Chain Management

Leon Cass underlines the task of producingdistinguished students i.e. GLF FUN defines them asLODESTARS in GUST Kuwait. (www.gust.edu.kw/glf)

Liberal learning starts around the oval table wherestudent - faculty were addressed as Mister or Miss aswere the professors. No one was Professor or Doctor.That was kind of equality in the face of real teachers:were the books and authors before us

All students addressed the faculty by his or her lastname welcome to adulthood.
