@Jayyanginspires Pessimism rubs off easily and like energy it's transferable, i once had to mute some contacts on WhatsApp because i was unintentionally letting it rub on me.
To move further and faster you have to get rid of all of it.
There’s this fear that comes with getting a bigger opportunity, one that’s more than what you can currently do.
Your first thought is to reject it, because you’re asking yourself: what happens if I fail? You’re questioning and undermining your current self, and basing your judgement around that.
I’ve personally felt this, and I’ve noticed the same pattern across a few people who were kind enough to share their stories with me.
Don’t fret, it’s normal. Just don’t judge yourself based on your current skill set or knowledge. Always strive for bigger opportunities, knowing fully that your future self is a different person and you don’t want them to resent you for missing out due to fear of failure and regret.
Shazam is pure mathematics, it uses Fourier transform, a mathematical tool that separates a signal into its individual frequency components.
When you search for a song, Shazam converts the sound into a spectrogram, picks out distinctive peak points, and turns them into a “fingerprint” that it matches against its library of millions of tracks to find an exact match.
And since sound travels as signal waves, your speaker simply turns those electrical signals back into sound.
It’s those who have not experience interior solitude that thinks solitude doesn’t matter at all.
In solitude you learn to love others, discover your true self and connect with God more.
Because the truest solitude isn’t really the absence of people or noise. It’s an abyss opening up at the centre of your soul that needs to be filled.
you will never outperform your self image. the man who sees himself as average will always find a way to stay average no matter what opportunities land in front of him. fix the image first.
The most common reason they tell you not to reinvent the wheel is that a new wheel requires a new user behavior, and behavioral change isn’t linear at all, it’s like an adaptation curve, always fluctuating.
Though if you’re offering a high incentive that’s more than what the current wheel is offering, then it’s so much easier to shape behaviors.
An example is house hunting in Nigeria: everybody is tired of the agent cycle, but you can’t automate it even if you offer a 3D immersive experience like Zillow et al.
The automation will require a new behavioral change, and the user isn’t convinced enough that the incentive of no agents is enough to catalyze the change so the cycle continues…
I cannot stress this enough: be you man or woman, when you find someone who is *TRULY GREAT* you must obsess over them and lock them down. This is not desperation in so much as it is recognition. Do not let a beautiful soul pass you by. Tether yourselves to each other.
@UX_Athena Just have a why for every element or style you use, if you can’t justify or explain it then there’s a roadblock.
Clarity first, takes so much thought but works for me
In Humility is the Greatest Freedom.
As soon as you begin to take yourself seriously and image that your virtues are Important because they are yours, you become the prisoner of your own vanity and even your best works will blind and deceive you.

Would you play a game inside WhatsApp with a friend? Drop your answer below genuinely curious.
I built a working prototype to test the concept. You can play it here:

Can WhatsApp enhance engagement through games?
I wrote a hypothesis around it; single, multi, and group player games built right into the chat.
Initiating conversation becomes effortless. Leaderboards keep people coming back.
