Work hard to be so good at your profession that when someone says you're not good, you simply smile. :)

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

When someone is carrying fear, anger, disappointment, or sadness, where we meet them matters. In our world and from our perspective, or in theirs.

Empathy is the latter. And sometimes, that's what a tired person needs at first.

You are not as wrong as you think.
You are different.
You are you.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

Proximity and Intimacy look close, but they are galaxies apart.

Deep down, everyone is a little MIT: Messy, Inconsistent, Trying.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

Success is not always a place to reach. It's a state to be.

90% of growing a startup is what not to do.

@roxana_family @Loc0m0 Roads usually have U-turns. You stop going forward and make a U-shaped turn to go back.

When you judge, it's "You" who stops remaining curious on the road, issues a verdict, and turns back.

That's what I call a "You-turn" judgment on the road of curiosity.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

Curiosity is a road trip. Judging is pulling over to make a You-turn.

Life is not an optimization problem.

Neither is grief.

You just have to go through it.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

We often have a hopeful heart to start and a thoughtful brain to come up with a plan.

But getting there also requires a strong backbone to stand up after every fall and a resilient stomach to digest the failures along the way.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

Sometimes, all a person needs is to be heard. Heard naked.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

From the outside, #2 and #3 may look like the same loss. But being able to distinguish them from the inside is what ultimately gets you to the top.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

For an authentic person, the worth of another person is heavily influenced by the values that person lives by.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

Being human is messy.

Inner peace comes when you stop hating that mess.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

I used to discover how life works.
Now I live the life as I discover it.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

A part of inner peace is not measuring others by our expectations, but by their capacity.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

Problems can be solved.

Excuses can't.

[Aideen NasiriShargh @EyeDin]

Feel your feelings, but don't let them define you.
