We often underestimate the power of a kind word. A simple "You're amazing!" can lift someone’s spirits, change the direction of their day, or even pull them out of a dark headspace. Appreciation costs nothing, but its value is immeasurable — for both the giver and the receiver. Photo by Eneida Hoti on Unsplash In a world that often feels fast, transactional, or divided, slowing down to recognize the good in others isn't just nice — it's necessary. When we genuinely appreciate someone, we’re telling them: You matter. You're seen. You’re enough. Whether it’s a friend, a coworker, a neighbor, or even a stranger online — acknowledging their worth can set off a ripple of kindness that spreads farther than we think. It's good for us too: studies show that expressing gratitude and appreciation improves our own mood, reduces stress, and deepens connections. Watch this heartwa...
These are some of the stories that I wanted to share with you in no particular order.
1. The first story is about a Pakistani engineer who created the fastest car engine. We have an immense talent in our people. We just need the right environment and opportunities.
2. This stood out to me because I am interested in this subject. Business relationships need integrity and professionalism. If you are dealing with a more professional individual or organization, then you should buy from them (if you want, obviously). You are not obliged by religion to buy only from people of your faith.
3. This post resonated with me because the way 'hard work' is glamorized. I am not saying that you should not work hard. What I am saying is that it is portrayed as an entrepreneur you should follow a certain standard of overwork to be successful. In my opinion success is not a goal, it is a process. You should have fun along the way.
4. This is to reassure myself. I was recently more concerned about the blog growth, the numbers, visitors, etc. I realized that good things take time. You need to be a bit patient with your blog, business, or startup.
5. These are a power pack of wisdom. I was also thinking that somethings are hard (e.g., workout) but at the end of the day they turn out to be good (e.g., you get 6-packs). Similarly, the choices are not easy anyway like this line: Obesity is hard, Being fit is hard. Choose your hard.
6. This is a fun fact. It shows how far we can go to satisfy our curiosity!
7. This story from Palestine highlighted that it is a human crisis not only a Muslim issue. People of all faiths have been affected by Israeli aggression.
8. We need to unlearn what we have learned about success and failure. Unlearning is as important as learning a new thing.
9. This is for aspiring writers. We just need to internalize this fact that we all write something, from grocery to to-do list to letters (Although I am not sure people still write letters) to emails. Writing is fun and we all have something to share with the world. Nothing should stop you from expressing yourself.
10. I liked this carousal because it is not talking about some outlandish tips. These are all doable things both for a beginners as well as seasoned marketers.
That's all for today. I hope you will enjoy these posts as I did reading them.
