There is an African Proverb that I love:
“A cat that dreams of becoming a lion must lose its appetite for rats.”
Meaning: To achieve greatness, you must let go of old habits that could hold back your progress.
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
"الحاجة المُلحة لإثبات صفة ما، هي غالباً دليل على غيابها".
الناجح الحقيقي مش محتاج يستنزف طاقته عشان يثبت كفاءته، لأن محصوله بيفرض نفسه وريحته بتسبقه للناس.
-الحديقة التي لا تنمو.
It feels like Earth was designed perfectly for us, rain falling from the sky, food growing from the ground, yet somehow we’ve built a world where people need good credit scores, multiple jobs, and 40-hour workweeks just to survive
One day you wake up and you're 23 or 25,or 27 and suddenly everything feels like it's moving too fast. You miss something can't you quite name. Not a person, not a place, just a feeling. The feeling of being young, when everything was new and the smallest moments felt big. Late night talks with friends, walking home in the dark laughing about nothing, summers that felt like forever. You just want that again - to feel alive in the little things, to slow down, to be here, really here, before it all becomes another memory.
الجهاز العصبي بتاعك في مصر علطول متحفز وشغال بكامل طاقته عشان لو غفلت دقيقتين هتتبعبص ، كل الناس بتحاول تشتغلك وتلبسك ولازم تبقى فايقلهم طول الوقت ، اول حاجة بتحسها لما تسافر اوروبا او الخليج حتى انك بتهدى شوية ، مخك وجسمك بيستريحوا شوية من التوتر
