Mohamed Jabeur

 I conducted an interview in Nabeul with Mohamed Jabeur who is a successful student ISLN graduate and who is now following a master’s degree at ISLT.

We are asking him through this interview about the secrets of his success, the problems that he has faced and his advice for ISLN students .

Hello Mohamed a warm welcome, can you tell me a little bit about yourself ?

 

Hello Eya, thank you for this invitation, I’m Mohamed Jabeur, 24 years old, I had my diploma from ISLN and now I study at ISLT for a Masters’ degree. I’m the founder of Mawsoa school website, General secretary of the Tunisian Red Crescent of Megrine. I’m a trainer. I teach people soft skills like public speaking, communication and team building.

 

As a successful person, what is your definition of success ?

 

Success is the art of dealing with problems and overcoming challenges. When you face problems you’ll succeed, you’ll find solutions, you’ll come up with new ideas and all these things will make you successful. Success comes from personal motivation. You have to set your own goals, to set your time, to invest in it, to attend meetings. It’s like a war with a series of small battles. When you lose a battle you can after all win the war. To be successful you also have to be creative.

 

What challenges did you face while creating your website?

 

Basically financial challenges. Since there is no financial aid in Tunisia, you have to rely on yourself, you have to get your own money and start your own business. Second, I faced technical challenges as I’m not an expert in technology. These are the main challenges that I faced.

Mawsoa school was developed three times, and now we are working on the fourth edition which is more developed in terms of service and quality.

Challenges are everywhere and you have to face them.

Last year, we had a technical problem that shut down our website four days, it was a period of exams and it was an embarrassing situation for me. I didn’t know how to deal with these struggles but I ended with coming up with the solution and I overcame the problem .

 

What motivated you to solve them?

 

Motivation is key, when you set your goals and dreams. Then you have to work on them.

Whenever you have a dream you’ll fight to realise it .Don’t wait for the others to help you, or wait for opportunities.

The better thing is to create your own opportunity.

We need to consider the problems we have in Tunisia and then invest in them. Every problem has a solution and every solution is a business.

 

Is there anyone who was by your side and helped you to overcome those problems?

 

Yes, my teachers in secondary school helped me to make courses on my website and to share knowledge with people. My friends also helped me to overcome technical problems, my family encouraged me also to solve a technical problems in Mawsoa school website , and it was so kind of them.

Have you ever had a moment of depression? If yes, how have you dealt with it?

Like everyone I had many moments of depression. When you work on your business you’ll have depressions,  sometimes you estimate things that can never happen, sometimes people let you down, so all these things build yourself and help you to overcome all the challenges you face. The more you face depression the stronger you become. It’s important to know how to deal with depression . the first thing that you have to do is to listen to yourself the second thing is that you have to talk with people that you trust.

What are the basic skills that can make someone successful?

 

 Leadership, public speaking stress management, all these skills are important but the most important is to practice these skills

 

Are you nostalgic of ISLN days?

 

Sure, ISLN is an important step in my success stoy. My first beginnings started from ISLN. I still have contact with students from ISLN. I had the best teachers ever there, they were good listeners and educators. They were all the time pushing us and motivating us for work. They were not simple professors, doing their jobs, presenting their courses and leavng . It’s more than that. They used to share with us joy and sorrow. They were and even still are close to us . Oh! I ‘m so nostalgic of ISLN.

 

 What do you want to say to ISLN current students?

 

Since you are a student there, you have an opportunity, you have to work hard, and if you work hard and smart you’ll get good marks and you’ll succeed in terms of academic life and I advice you to create clubs there to improve your personality and public speaking, try to make some challenges between each others, so you can come up with new ideas.

 

 Thank you, I’m glad to have met such a successful person like you, good continuation.

 

 Thank you, I wish that I did my best to answer all your questions, wish you all the best.

Studying at ISLN : A challenge

  Author: Khraycia Oumayam  There are several international university rankings, and the ranking of Tunisian universities, in most of these classifications, remains average and without distinction Poor infrastructure Our institute’s infrastructure is one of the most serious issues it faces, as it is not fit for the twenty-first century. There are not enough classrooms to accommodate the capacity of approximately 1000 students, resulting in overcrowding in the main hall and in classrooms They say free education, but .. Due to the closure of the institute’s printing press, the student is forced to copy lessons from outside at excessive prices that exceed his ability. NO college restaurant   Because there is no university restaurant near the institute or dormitory, ISLN students are deprived of restaurant. Services. Worse, they visited "Mrezkah restaurant" but the food served there is unhealthy. The absence of cultural activities Our institute lacks cultu...

Living with Covid 19 at ISLN.

 Author:  Amira Sdairiya The corona virus isn’t simply a public- health issue; it is also a learning opportunity. S tudents, professors and all the staff are affected. So let’s talk about this situation in our institution, ISLN. In order to control the virus’s spread, our institution has closed several times to keep us safe, but there were certain drawbacks, as I can see. Our safety was somewhat assured, but I’m not sure this was the case of our learning. Actually this closure may have affected certain students, and online learning may not have been the ideal option for many of them. Obviously families were more likely to indicate that they were unable to provide such learning opportunities for their children, and although ISLN did it best to provide e-learning activities for every single student, it was difficult to achieve equal chances for everyone. But, even in this difficult situation, our institution made significant attempts to continue our studies, and not simply...

From high school to college: the biggest transition in a lifetime

  Author: Soulayma Ben Othman University is a completely different experience from high school, with its own set of needs and expectations.   Most students make the move successfully, but keep in mind that it is a journey with many bumps on the road . Many students believe it is the same experience, but trust me when I say it is not. College life is full of challenges that we all overcome in the day, such as more work and a lot more of it. College work will be significantly more challenging and time-consuming for even the brightest high school students. You have to keep track of time, manage your budget and maintain your health. It’s all up to you now, you must look after yourself because no one will look after you like your family did previously. It’s all about recognizing your talents and weaknesses, taking time for yourself, and seeking help if necessary since nothing is more essential than your mental health. If you truly think about it and know how to adjust to the ...
