Excellent writeup once again Hameed! One thing that really resonated with me is the advice to be a "learning machine". I sometimes tell people to learn random things, not for the sake of becoming a guru but just for the thrill of learning.

"The Medici Effect" by Fran Johansson is an excellent book that reinforces this tip!

Exactly my point as well. Will add 'The Medici Effect' to my reading list. Thanks bro!

"If I thought there was a chance to share a random idea with someone I cared about, I would take it. You should know, you're reading my newsletter." 😂😂😂

Nice one, as always 'Hameed.

As ever, no disappointment.

Maybe I'll take the courage on writing an article on something about 'learning different things that interest you'.

I think I saw a Ted talk on the study you referred to. Love is an open doooooooorrrr (reference to Anna's song in Frozen), and it's amazing in both all the forms that it can take and the roads that it can lead to.

Learning! I can think of only a few things that excite me more. However, not all knowledge is beneficial, so individuals should do the job of separating the seed from the chaff.

I'll be thinking about the risk to take, but hey, even loving is a risk, and I'm a lover, so EIE 🤣.

Been a good ride. Would have said 'see ya next year', but that'd be clowning 🤡. So, read ya next year, in shaa Allah.
