Midweek Check-In: Beyond The Screens
cos there's more to you than lines of codes and pitches ✨💫🌊
Hi-ya Dear Innovator 👋
Are ya good? 🤔🤔🤔How’s April going for you?
Are you nose-deep in codes yet?
Or are you feeling perhaps, maybe and otherwise…?😪
Well good thing that we came just in time with this reminder…
Growing up, almost everyone had some kind of relationship with books, but at some point, we all fell off. We also basked in the glory of togetherness and a close circle.
Life had somehow gotten in the way of one of the joys of being human but you need to remember, Dear Innovator, that tech breakthroughs don’t come out of thin air! 😑😑😑
Reading blows your mind open and challenges your assumptions; your community mirrors back to you what you should be doing at all times. If you’ve always wondered about people that "think differently", it’s simply ‘cos they read and stay connected to their tribe.
Good stories have tricky situations too, and by following along, you can learn to analyze problems, figure out solutions, and explain your ideas clearly.
The tech world moves fast, sure, but don't forget that there’s also power in chilling with a good book and staying connected with a community of tech innovators like you… Out with isolation, in with introspection and unity of numbers! 💪💪
Tap-tap below and share our newsletter. It’ll give you and your peeps something to talk about whenever you meet up! 😇😇😇
