Are the things worth fighting for really this hard to achieve?

[Aziza Ismail @_AzizaIsmail]

We’ve all heard the stories of founders who hit rock bottom and then have a miraculous turnaround. But the reality? You hit the floor, you get back up, you find a glimmer of hope… and you realize you’re still just. not. there. yet.

[Aziza Ismail @_AzizaIsmail]

The hardest part about being a founder: spending over a decade building something, hoping you’re finally turning the corner… and realizing you’re just not there yet.

[LiteraSeed @LiteraSeed]

Doctor visits are rushed.

Patients forget things.

Important details get lost.

We built LiteraSeed to fix that.

Simple, visual, and designed for real conversations in care.

Now live.

“If Allah finds goodness in your hearts, He will give you better.”

— Al Qur’aan [8:70]

[رِفْعَت @rif_yaseen]

Nobody likes you when you're depressed.
Plain and simple. We can talk all day about mental health and how important it is, but the moment you are depressed, people start to distance themselves. They see you as negative, a burden, and someone too heavy to handle.

The most important skill you can develop is the ability to keep doing what needs to be done without anyone telling you “good job.”

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

You become more eloquent once you realize no one will speak up for you.

You become financially responsible once you realize no one will back you up with no agenda.

You become physically and mentally stronger once you realize no one will stand up and fight your fights for you.

[Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips @DrBilalPhilips]

Hard times befall everybody, and how you react to them determines your future. You can either complain and blame everyone else, and remain stuck there, or you can be patient and work hard to overcome the challenges and move up in life.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Virtually nothing goes according to plan because one doesn't plan for the things that go wrong. I personally assume things will take about one and a half times as long and cost about one and a half times as much because that's what I've typically experienced. How well you and the people working with you manage will determine your expectations. #principleoftheday

If you really want to do it, you will find good reasons to work harder, if you don't really want to do it, you will find good reasons to give up, it's your life, you are free.

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

It’s ok to be sad. It’s ok to feel drained and tired. It’s ok to not share your problems with people. Just confide in the Almighty. Ask Him to calm your mind, heal your heart and take your worries away.

I’ve been called crazy for dedicating my life to something without immediate financial gain. But life’s about more than just surviving. It’s about creating, building, and exploring, leaving the world better than how you found it.

[Aziza Ismail @_AzizaIsmail]

Breaking free from cultural norms has been lonely, isolating and financially tough. Society pressures us to conform – get married, have kids, and follow a prescribed life. Our families, who care about us, often push these pressures the most believing it's what's best for us.

[Aziza Ismail @_AzizaIsmail]

Growing up, I was expected to follow a traditional life path – get married, have kids – but I knew I wanted more. I wished to create, build, and explore, and equally important, I wanted to break the cycle of oppression in my family.

@BenSchwartz_MD @rkomatireddy @DrDeepMD @rikrenard @HLTHEVENT @MarioATX_MD @killa_kwinn @DaveSekowski @Mahek_MD @sidneyhaitoff @DivaBiotech Would love to be part a conference that brings together healthcare-focused founders, and physicians and patients, sharing our experiences and learnings to help each other out. It's tough enough as it is but improving healthcare for vulnerable patients is worth the battle.

[Aziza Ismail @_AzizaIsmail]

A child of poor immigrants must endure much hardship in order to achieve something great in this world and within themselves. How then is it not disheartening when people take advantage of such vulnerable people whose path is laden with so many obstacles as it is?

Interesting to note that there are now careers emerging for 'Prompt Engineers' who specialize in writing effective ChatGPT prompts. 🤯

[Aziza Ismail @_AzizaIsmail]

I notice that the people who make the most of ChatGPT are smart enough to write good prompts that tend to generate higher quality AI content. Not everyone will generate AI content of the same quality.
