🦆 A Quick Quack from Us:

Remember, true growth doesn't happen at 4 AM with a protein shake and toxic positivity. It happens when you consistently apply what you learn, test what works, and adapt based on real data – not Instagram quotes.

Enjoy your Eid celebrations, spend time with loved ones, eat good food, and maybe – just maybe – bookmark these resources for when you're ready to learn something new without the side of burnout culture.

Waddle on,
Mahmoud Omar

P.S. If anyone tries to turn your Eid gathering into a networking opportunity, just remember: even ducks know when to take a break from the pond.
