It’s a lie - money can buy happiness. But not fulfillment. I bet if you quadrupled your bank account today you’d keep working/building.

Don't let conciseness throw you off.
Don't discount tweets.
The most intelligent people I know have mastered this.
Individuals > Influencers

Friends > Fans
I don’t know if people get more confidence as they get experience and older, or if they just start caring less about what other people think over time.

If the latter is true, you can start today.
9 things I wish I heard people say more:
— Saba Karim (@sabakarimm) June 6, 2019
1. Thank you
2. Sorry, my fault
3. It’s okay, we’ll fix it
4. You're the expert, I trust you
5. Leave it to me, I will make it happen
6. Good job.
7. What are your thoughts?
8. Is there anything I can do for you?
Five types of hobbies you should have:
— Saba Karim (@sabakarimm) March 24, 2021
1️⃣ Makes you money – ie. Side hustles
2️⃣ Keeps you fit – Cycling, yoga, sports
3️⃣ Lets you switch off – Games or meditation
4️⃣ Gets your creative juices flowing – Painting, dance, etc.
5️⃣ Builds knowledge – Books, new language, or Twitter
People keep asking the same question even though they know the answer, hoping there’s an easier way.

There isn’t.
Want to be fit? Eat well & exercise daily
Want peace? Meditate
Want to be smarter? Read
Want to be rich? Work hard
Want to be wealthy? Build something people need

Be kind to people on the way to the top. They’ll be nicer to you when you’re on the way down.

You can’t make everyone happy. This applies to professional and personal aspects of life. So stop trying, and just focus on your own internal happiness.

Meditation is like Clubhouse, but for conversations with yourself.

The best thing you can do sometimes is sit alone in a dark room and let your mind go free.
Be relentless with your goals.
— Saba Karim (@sabakarimm) February 15, 2021
Fearless when asking for help.
Selfless when helping others.
Flawless with how you spend your time.
There are three types of failure:
— Saba Karim (@sabakarimm) March 10, 2021
1. Failing after trying
2. Failing to fail
3. Failing to try
Avoid the third one.
Just ask.
— Saba Karim (@sabakarimm) February 19, 2021
Want an internship?
Want an introduction?
Want a mentor?
If you don’t ask you’ll never get it.
If you do ask, you’ll be surprised how easy it was.

It’s never been easier to:
— Saba Karim (@sabakarimm) April 29, 2020
- launch a podcast
- host a virtual event
- start blogging
- learn an instrument
- master home workouts
- but it’s OK if you don’t do any of these
- and just enjoy the down-time
- or moments with your family
- because everyone has their own battles
