Not everybody is as bad as the people in your life who’ve caused you harm.
I learned that not everyone will see your vision, some will even think you’re weird for having it. 🧙🏾♂️
The apology will never be louder than the accusation from doubters, the “I told you so” won’t bring you the joy that you think it will 🙅🏾♂️
In a related note, that person in the mirror is your biggest hater, prove it wrong often. Celebrate small wins by dancing in the mirror, I heard the mirror people hate that. 😎
Don’t shrink yourself to be digestible to everyone, if they can’t stand your growth, let them choke. ✌🏾
Don’t put the product before the brand, products are temporary, brands last generations. Brands never lose your number, products will leave your text messages on read. 💁🏾♂️

Grief never really goes away, you just learn to deal with it better. And you don't have to beat yourself up for being sad when everyone else has moved on.
I realised this fact late that DSA and Leetcode Problem Solving are crucial. If only someone would have drilled into this in my 2nd year, I would have been at a much better place now.
College Professors didn't put any emphasis either. I spent 4 semesters online in COVID lockdown. I lost a lot during that time.
Currently in my Final year, I am trying to solve problems when Placements have begun and I feel left behind.
I wish I knew earlier about the purpose of life..
"I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me (Allah)" Al Qur'an surah Az-Zariyat:56
"O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]." Al Qur'an surah Al-Imran:102
"It is truly I. I am Allah! There is no god worthy of worship except Me. So worship Me ˹alone˺, and establish prayer for My remembrance." Al Qur'an surah At-Thaha:14
Work through your fears and push on.
If possible, get a 2nd revenue stream... so as to not be locked into one for fear of not being able to pivot fast enough to avoid ruin.
Not all the signals are real.
what does that mean?
It's not your job to think what others think.
That you don't need to know it all up front. It's okay to learn things as you need them.
