Stay interested in the world.
In people. In ideas. In stories. In how things work.

Talk to someone new. Learn a culture. Let every experience touch you.

Each moment adds depth to your life,
gives you purpose,
and sharpens your vision.

Stay interested
and life stays interesting

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

One thing I've learned about staying motivated is this:

Stop paying attention to every opinion, every distraction, and every noise around you.

Stay focused on what you're building.

Stay locked in bro.

The world don't stop just because you're in a bad mood.

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

Enlightened men pay attention to the world within —their thoughts, beliefs, attitude and discipline.

Most men are consumed by the world without —validation, status, fame, and appearances.

One builds character.
The other only builds image.

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

@TechWriterDON We keep looking on without wavering.

[AbdulRaheem || Code&Content @TechWriterDON]

It could be today. Or next week. Or next month. Or next year.

I'll keep lurking around till I meet my luck.

I don’t reject advice.
I reject advice presented ignorantly.

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

Confident ignorance is still ignorance.

The best readers aren’t those who consume the most books— but those who apply the most wisdom.

To grow on X, you need to become a good reader.

Reading helps you think at the same level as the person behind the tweet,

which makes your replies more meaningful.

Instead of saying “I agree” or “so true,”

You reply with valuable insights that gets you noticed and followed.

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

@stijnnoorman Having a degree gets you noticed,
Having a skill gets you paid.

Have both.

The greatest trick for winning people’s hearts is this:

“Make people feel important.”

Everyone wants to feel seen.
Everyone wants to feel valued.

So—

listen more than you speak,
give sincere compliments,
appreciate little things.

Do this consistently, and win hearts.

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

Everybody wants to feel appreciated—

for their ideas,
their efforts,
their value.

One of the most foolish things you can do is withhold appreciation from people who deserve it.

If you want to win hearts easily,
learn to appreciate the little things.

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

One of the most devastating feelings is feeling unwanted.

But the moment you stop needing validation and learn to walk alone,

you become unstoppable.

Question: How do you win an argument?

Answer: You don’t.

Winning the argument sometimes can mean losing the person.

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

My actions come from my conclusions, not your opinions.

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

People forget what you say.
They remember how you made them feel.

How do you make people feel?

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

Find people going up mountains and climb together.

[Exceptional Desmond @exceptshunal]

Sometimes, when you don’t have visible results, people assume you're not putting any work.
