4 hobbies that genuinely changed my life in interesting ways + a few lessons 👇
💻 Coding & web design
My primary source of excitement as a teenager (#nerd). I started with freelance stuff and still dabble with code on my website aliabdaal.com.
Lesson: coding helps unlock your brain in an interesting way e.g I see business ideas everywhere :p

🎸 Playing music
I thought I'd be cool and all the girls would love me if I played an instrument. So I learnt to play the piano and guitar with @justinsandercoe
Takeaway: you can learn whatever the hell you want on the internet if you really want to.

@justinsandercoe 🎩 Performing magic
My way of impressing people in school and I also did paid performances. I worked with @LeMottee for some time too, which was fun.
Lesson: performing magic is a real exercise in embracing discomfort & helped to put myself out there.

@justinsandercoe @LeMottee 👨🏫 Teaching
When I was 14 I got a job at @KumonUK helping kids with their maths. My first business at uni (@6medHQ) was also entirely based on teaching.
Insight: if you want to help someone nobody cares if you're an expert as long as you provide value and be engaging.
