As entrepreneurs, business leaders, or even as individuals, we all want more. More success, more growth, more fulfillment. But often, I meet people who know they want more—yet they can’t quite explain why.

Many times, it’s because they’re caught in a cycle. They started something, and now it feels wrong to stop. Or they keep pushing simply because it’s what their environment, investors, or bosses expect from them.

That’s why we see such contrasts: some people feel unmotivated and stuck, while others keep running on overdrive—without ever pausing to reflect.

So take a moment.
Stop and ask yourself: Why do I want more?

✨ One of my non-negotiables at work? Having fun.

I love surrounding myself with people who inspire me, make me laugh, and can crack a joke while hustling. I never quite understood the version of “professionalism” that comes with stiffness.

In my experience, the most capable people are also the funniest ones — they know how to balance ambition with joy, and that’s where true collaboration happens.

Having fun at GITEX GLOBAL Largest Tech & Startup Show in the World this week — working hard, laughing harder, and meeting incredible minds along the way. 💫

Real innovation was never supposed to be easy.
If it feels effortless, it’s probably not innovation—it’s repetition.
