Advice on improving communication: I think the first step is to stop caring what people say back. Yes, you may have never been a good communicator, but you can start communicating today. People will be baffled as to when you randomly became a communicator, but why in the world would you care?

If you are afraid of talking in public, start talking in front of a mirror or record a video of yourself talking. Don't watch it back; just keep recording. Eventually, communication will be easier. Once you get comfortable, go to events and meet new people. Talking with new people will help you stop fearing judgment because you know you aren't going to meet that person the next day, so you will yapp as much as you can. Through time, you will even forget that communication was ever an issue for you.

Yes, don't get attached to anyone. Thank God I am low-key an avoidant attachment person, so I don't have to care when people leave me. :)

and this one about picking your friends.

I think this is all for today. I am sure you all have benefited from the messages. And inshallah, if you send serious messages that people will benefit from, like this one, I will do more of this in the future.

Good night. 🤍

And the Messenger will say, 'O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned.

👉 Surat Al-Furqan, Ayah 30

I begin my day with this alarming Ayah, and it reminded me of this poetic saying:

Imagine Allah s.w Saying this to you:

إن كنت تزعم حبي
فلم هجرت كتابي؟
أما تأملت ما فيه
من لذيذ خطابي؟

"If you claim to love Me,
Then why have you abandoned My Book?
Have you not pondered over what it contains
Of My delightful address?"😢

📌This is just to remind myself and you guys to always have daily 'Wird'(recite a consistent portion of Quran), so that we will not be amongst the once that this Ayah applies on them.

While I was away, we’ve been busy behind the scenes preparing to launch teftef

So, what is teftef?

teftef is an AI-powered career platform built to solve one of the biggest problems with job searching.
Instead of jumping between different platforms and applying blindly, teftef helps you discover relevant opportunities, understand how well you match each job and make smarter applications all in one place.

And now… we’re almost ready to launch! 👀

Join the waitlist to get exclusive early perks and be among the first to experience teftef.

Yes, we walked. Fuad chose a good resemblance emoji to cover my face, except that I never hold roses before.

ahh, but I forgot to record it on strava. 😭

Oh, I am glad to meet you all at the event. To those of you who didn't meet me, all I can say is you missed out :)

I was going around promoting my "Tell Me Your ችግር" business, as well as "WalkWithAbdu."

Some people were pronouncing the channel name wrong. Considering that, the next giveaway will include spelling bee questions. 🙂

Seriously, though, I am really glad I connected with you all. You are all cool.

It's over. The final ሮያል ከረሜላዎች winners are known. Check here if you are one of them: https://amiloyaltoabduintheloops.online

I admit that I discriminated against most of my loyal subscribers. Honestly speaking, the implementation wasn't as I expected (vibe coding problem). The first five questions were the deciding ones; the bonus round was tricky.

Pray for me to be rich, and we will have another giveaway with a better prize. Till then, my loyal subscribers, please don't leave me. I promise to pay you back :).

Also, I started this channel as a joke and didn't think people would even read my posts. When I met you guys in person and you told me this post of yours, I really felt glad. But take my words with a grain of salt. I don't take responsibility :).

How am I going to distribute the candies? That's a question I will have to ponder on.

Good morning 🙂

Like honestly, I’m just asking as a student… how did something as simple as wearing hijab turn into all of this? Hijab is literally part of who we are, so why does it have to become such a big issue? I really don’t understand how it went from just asking a question to students being restricted from normal places like cafes and libraries, being stopped from getting their degrees, and even being imprisoned. Like how did it get this far 😭

We’ve been wearing masks for 2 years and more and that was never an issue, even though we were literally covering our faces. So why is hijab suddenly such a problem? Just let them study, finish their education and graduate in peace. They’re students, they just want to learn and do their normal university stuff. All this unnecessary stress and suffering over something that shouldn’t even be this complicated is honestly heartbreaking.

how to waste your time properly ?

with the summer coming to an end, with almost one month left, I remembered how everyone of us planned at the beginning of the summer, and I am an experienced time waster, so I can give you my tips. I am dedicating this post to it.

wake up late. wake up from your bed late in the morning, like around 10:00 AM or 11:00 AM. so by the time you wake up, you will already have to eat breakfast, and lunch will be approaching. so you won't have time to do work, which is good, so you can successfully waste the hour or two that might be left before lunch.

take a nap after lunch. or go out for a coffee and spend it talking with your friends. if you don't find it hard to sleep, I suggest sleeping, as it will cover up most of the time compared to coffee or talking. coffee is expensive and will only last for a few hours, whereas a talk might end early. but sleep could last longer, and it is free.

be active on every social media, from linkedin to tiktok to insta to snap to telegram to .. continues.. read comments. write comments. be involved in two parties' argument, knowing that there is no single benefit to your life from it.

wait for the next monday. if in case you feel bored or motivated and feel like you need to start something, wait for the next monday. if you are already on sunday, wait for a perfect date and time.

plan a lot of things at a time. you saw a youtube video and got dopamine, and now you wrote hundreds of lists of tasks to do per day. wake up at 4AM in the early morning, go to the gym, study, read a book, gym again, read. sleep. no phone. just like a robot without rest. this is good, as it will help you quit early and lose the dopamine, so you could go back to wasting time.

plan against your instinct. if you had been sleeping early, make a plan to do your tasks until late at night. if you are a night owl, make the plans in the morning. so either way, it will be against your instinct, and you won't do the task, which is good for wasting your time again.

put your phone near yourself and check every single notification. a text from CBE? check it. a text from 127? read it. don't even miss the 8081 learn English day by day text.

so I think these are enough tips for wasting your time. if I missed any, please drop them in the comment section.

to find this post useful, understand it from right to left, just like arabic :).

No, girl. I am not like you who falls for such traps. I am a proud electrical and computer engineer. I can build the iphone myself 😎.
