LETTER
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Nouf Al-Hajri
Dear Students,
Managing Director
21/12/2012 was supposedly the end of the world, yet… we all survived!! Natural disasters, unnatural wars, political strife, epidemics…. yet Life continues… stronger than anything.

Acting Managing Editor
A realist, a pessimist or an optimist…who do you choose to be?
Ali Sultan ali@ph7-kw.com
A realist who accepts the status quo? A pessimist who curses the status quo? Or an optimist who believes that one can always improve on the status quo?

A builder, a destroyer, or a tenant …. Who do you choose to be?
Ragheed Al-Ani ragheed@ph7-kw.com
Take the status quo and build on it? Destroy the status quo and be left with chaos? A Tenant, watching, consuming, coming and going without leaving an imprint?
MARKETING TEAM Senior Marketing Executive Rana Kaafarani stmarketing2@ph7-kw.com
I write you this letter with my pink pen, so you can imagine the optimist I chose to be. This pen was given to me as a gift from a builder who has impacted many lives, so you can imagine the friends I am honored to keep.
Marketing Executive
May 2013 be marked by an optimistic outlook on life, and may it be a turning point in Kuwait’s growth and development.
