King Khalid University, represented by the Vice - Presidency of Development and Quality and the Deanship of Student Affairs, and in collaboration with Sumou Company for the development of young people, hosted a young Saudi Arabian - Faris Hani Turki. The reception was on the occasion of his obtaining a Master degree, majoring in Business Administration from Britain. The reception took place in the Central Strands of the University in Abha. Faris spoke about his experience in establishing his own restaurant serving breakfast meals to customers. He named the restaurant "Fares' Breakfast".

The university always tries to identify particular successful models to be presented to the students in order to introduce them - the students - to successful initiatives, and valuable experiences in a number of different areas. That is also based on the desire to create conducive atmosphere to exchange knowledge and experience so as to induce the students' thinking along successful projects and innovative ideas. It is inevitable that activating innovative thinking for the youth could benefit greatly their economic and commercial features.

Fares spoke about how he got the idea of establishing the project, which turned into reality. He said that he could not have his breakfast meal every morning, and when he visited a doctor, the physician advised him to have breakfast every morning. Then he started tweeting while eating his breakfast, mentioning the type of the food to his followers who made a hashtag called Fares' breakfast.

During his visit to the University, Fares explained that he began studying the idea of the project, its economic feasibility, and the means that can contribute to its success. Therefore, the dream became true when he launched the first branch in Jeddah.

In his speech, Fares sent several useful messages that are of great importance to his young peers as being a source of a successful experience. The most important message was that of the difference between a young man waiting to get salary at the end of every month, and another young man who himself gives salaries to his workers. He said, "One of the most important factors to achieve success in private business is to control the business yourself, and to listen to your customers respectfully, because they are the windowsill of improving your business as well as an important element in its success." Fares added, "It is essential to always introduce new things that are of course different from the existing ones. In other words, to get away from imitation. It is one of the most important factors of success after God the Almighty reconciling." Fares directed a last message to the attendees; that of the necessity to benefit from the experiences of those around us: friends, relatives and others, because advice definitely has a great benefit that contributes to the success of any project.
