May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the impact of this devastating disease. On May 15, it would be 10 years since I lost my dad to brain cancer.

The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Dr. Bessel van der kolk. I will always recommend this especially to people living in collectivist societies.
Going through my dad’s textbooks now, as a graduate, makes me see lots of parallels between how he lead his life & how I am leading mine; engineers that went to dabble in finance with great cultural curiosity. I miss him knowing that he would’ve been my closest friend. الله يرحمه
I’ve done a bunch of introspection lately on “is this it?” & “where is this all leading to?” , you might call it an existential crisis, or the frontal lobe being developed. In any case, I think I concluded that my entire purpose is to give.
أنا خلقني ربي عشان اعطي.
@hnasr
Unrealistic expectations, getting too attached to prototypes (e.g. treating MVPs as final products) , lack of planning especially for the long term (lack of strategy for the product, at this rate legacy software will be things we built 2 years ago but just have poor docs)
Surprise of the week is that I was a guest on the lovely

provided me the opportunity to grow as an aspiring data scientist and allowed me to explore a domain of design I have been curious about (industrial design) all while benefitting a community that is dear to us in our region, the elderly.
One of my favorite quotes from himym is “You will be shocked, kids, when you discover how easy it is in life to part ways with people forever. That's why when you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it.”
I’m that friend that not-so-patiently waited for this announcement post for weeks 💜 congratulations legend, you never fail to be incredible at everything you do 💕

A key thing consulting taught me is how critical it is to learn to set boundaries in the face of high pressure and invasive styles of work. I think most of us are cognizant of this fact, but our implementation is tested with the reality of it.
12% of the 500 most successful artists are self-taught, but what is the actual value of academia, up for debate and I have an opinion on Death, Taxes, and Art:
This was an exhilarating experience, cannot be more grateful to have learned from and alongside the fellows, the amazing team, and the executives and leaders who lended their time to inspire us and guide us. Special thanks to
@farooqmawad
for the support from the start.
I feel Keane’s somewhere only we know deep in my heart. Especially when the song gets to each “I’m getting old and I need someone to rely on”.
I can’t tell why it hurts, I just know it’s a lot of salt on a wound.
@noufalsoghyar
I think Apple’s move away from self-driving cars reinforces a crucial lesson: Innovation thrives on focus and the courage to redirect efforts towards where we can make the most difference. This approach has been fundamental in my experience.
My father's journey with brain cancer was marked by courage but also immense challenges. It’s a journey many families are quietly enduring, & the struggle changes families forever. By sharing our stories, we give voice to the silent struggles and foster a community of support.

Might I add to this spiral with an amazing article I can read on this:
What I like about it is how it goes into the objectives of each wave of the web and what came out of it, also helps you forecast what to expect of web 3.
I am the biggest extrovert. I just want to work at a VC that loves the social me and pushes me to keep making new founder friends. Hit me up if that's you💯
I think it helps us reflect & has us ask ourselves “what did we do today to remind those dear to us that we love them?” Because love was never a spark that fades, love is the set of actions we take to include those people we want to keep around, & making that decision especially
I think I saw this in full force this year. It’s a very pivotal and difficult year, and the thing that came the most naturally was taking up a supporting role. A spectrum of supporting my friends in their absence from my life to assuming an advisory role with startups.
🎢 Just as Joan Miró's Harlequin danced between colors and Thomas Cole depicted the journey from youth to Manhood, "Death, Taxes, and Art" sways between life's peaks and valleys. The rollercoaster of our stories is back in full swing!
This taught me a lot about myself, about where I want to be & how. Not only that, but opened up doors that allowed me to assume a role that aligns with my values. In a transactional world, I want to give. Support & cheer on. Share & be around those who are kinder and smarter.

Optimizing for your peers, which allows for you to optimize for your learning; this opens the floor for constructive exchange of feedback & allows you to get more comfortable. Reframing your mindset to being comfortable that you don’t know and knowing that nobody really knows.
I’ve been looking to do something fun with my display pic and testing positive for covid gave me time to actively work on this. was recommended to me for not only a cool avatar but as a full system integrating this avatar in the metaverse.
Research is crucial. Currently, brain cancer research is underfunded despite its deadly impact. More funding can lead to better treatment options and, hopefully, a cure. Supporting research means giving hope to those affected.
Free-falling through life's intricacies mirrors the wild dance of digital artists in the vast realm of net art. Dive into the newest post on death, taxes, and art, where we explore the art of embracing chaos while carving purpose. 🎨🌪️
One of the most insightful conversations I had was when
@AlSalehSarahs
switched the focus from passion to curiosity, reframing what drives someone to grow.
More often than not, success is a byproduct of learning, and learning is a byproduct of curiosity.
If you’re curious about something, you will be successful at it, and the more curious you are about it, the more you’ll willingly invest in it (time + effort)
الإكرامية من برا تبان كأنها شي انساني، وبدون شك هذي نية اي احد يستعملها لدعم اي احد يعمل بهذي القطاعات، لكن انتشار الاكرامية و جعلها طريقة دخل للسائق يبين لك انه الجهة الموظفة اصلا ما تعطيه مقابل عادل لعمله وتشيل المسؤولية من الجهة الموظفة لوجود هذي الثقافة.
إذا ركبت مع سائق أوبر أو كريم وتقدر تعطيه إكراميه لا تتردد، مصاريف تشغيل السياره عليه عاليه والتسعير تنافسي بالتالي صارت جدواه ضعيفة للسائق و هم عيالنا يستاهلون الدعم

I knew my haraj persona won’t last that long because my cover was blown 😭 my peers now know I am not a fellow middle aged antique dealer; that I’m just a 23 year old that acquired one too many mubkharas and cameras.
ستصل؛ ولكن الرضا يضمن سلاسة الوصول الى ما هو اعظم من الغايات.
في الرضا نلتمس من الأقدار حكمتها الخفيّة؛ ننظر للطريق والسعي بعين الامتنان وبقلب لا يفتر عن الثناء للوهّاب
والخاسر الأكبر في هذه المعادلة الساخط القانط الذي يرى في نجاح وسعي غيره نقصاً في سعيه فخسر الرضا ونفسه

The maybelline age rewind corrector, essence eye primer as a corrector (helps with creasing), and NARS radiant creamy concealer or tarte shape tape (the shade range is unparalleled but the concealer is ok)
لا يُلقي الله أمنيةً في القلب عبثًا، لا يجعلنا الله نتمنى شيئاً لتظل الحسرة في قلوبنا بل ثق إنه سيمنحنا إياها ولو بعد حين، سيمنحنا إياها في وقتها المناسب.
إن الله يعطي ما دام القلب لم يملَّ الطلب، وإن كرم الله أوسع من الخيال، وأكبر من الحاجة، وأرحب من أمانينا.
This year was a wild ride but I can’t be more grateful for the experiences I went through and people I got to meet. This past year was a year of growth, and I hope this coming year carries more incredible adventures.

This is devastating 💔💔 they’re idiots for letting go of such an incredible rockstar , I hope to see better things come your way; you deserve all the best ❤️
Little newsletter update, it’s now quarterly ✨
Based on your feedback on the longer form pieces vs. shorter form, I found the quarterly model with little bites of content in between to deliver the most consistent quality and frequency. Hope you enjoy this new change ❤️
@athtripleA
The salary guides are so far off I’m super confused on how they get that data. But also definitely we need some form of blind or levels here.
