Elaborate: Adding New Friends System

You don’t know about real loss, because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you’ve ever dared to love anybody that much.

Adding New Friends System

I get asked:

How do you deal with ordinary people? The ones that don’t bother you? and when does it start that they enter your life?

Where You Are Allowed To Be You

To nerd out and talk about a particular topic that you are deeply interested in/ obsessed with, requires you to unveil part of yourself. Your personality, your affection, your love for that topic. Often, it feels like dancing in the symphony of that subject(my analogy is very consumed, but I feel it holds true here).

The Limits of the Regret Minimization Framework

When making decisions in life, especially when we are faced with selecting between two events, we find ourselves comparing how important they are in order to determine which event we should choose. Some people study the implications of each decision and measure how rewarding or penalizing the outcomes might be. Picking the least penalty is a tactic for choosing a decision under this scenario.

Gratitude Register

Everyone is atheist until the plane starts falling. I have no clue who said this.

Taking Things For Granted

I’ve taken things for granted before, and I always do. it doesn’t mean I don’t recognize the value of someone or something in my life, it’s just that I’m mostly busy and never able to find time to reflect upon the things I have in my life.

Why I'm Sharing Notes - Cognitive Overload

Learn to write, I’m dead serious about that, because… pick some hard problems and learn to write very, very carefully. when I say pay attention to the word, I mean that pick the right words, organize them into the right phrases and get your sentences straight. read and write everyday and see if you can discover what is true.

One of the most common questions I get is how I managed to learn so many media formats in such a short amount of time. people often assume I learned everything simultaneously. that is not true.

Why Im Sharing Notes - Why Im Writing in English
Why I am writing in English and not Arabic. There is a guilt that comes with it. shame on me for writing in English while being Arab by mother and father. I have never fled to a western or European country. I was not obsessed with western movies, in fact I barely watch movies at all. I accidentally watched two movies in the past two years and that was it. yet I am still influenced by the west.
I Can't Accept Compliments

I remember once posting on Facebook about how I dislike people who compliment me , and I wrote something along the lines of: if you want to be a good friend of mine, do not give me compliments.
