While I've written newsletters and various emails for organizations in the past, for some reason, creating a personal newsletter has been on my to-do list for far too long. It's time to change that, and I'm committed to putting myself out there more as I embark on this exciting journey.
WHY X
If you know me, you've probably noticed my fascination with the letter X. Originally, I intended to use my name as it is, but alas, the username "Abdul Hameed" was already taken. So, I decided to embrace the uniqueness and added an X to it.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM HERE
I've always been passionate about sharing valuable lessons I've learned along my journey. Expect a mix of subjective insights, backed by experiences and history. Additionally, I'll delve into topics I hold dear, such as history, technology, politics, and global events. What's guaranteed is a constant opportunity to learn and a generous dose of storytelling.
As we embark on this journey together, I encourage you to share your thoughts, feedback, and any topics you'd like me to cover. This newsletter is not just mine; it's ours, and I want it to be a space where we can engage and learn from each other.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I look forward to the exciting discussions and discoveries ahead.
Best regards,
Abdulhameed Otubanjo
Extras
In addition to my writing pursuits, I've been on a language-learning journey, dedicating over a year to both Chinese and Arabic. It's been a remarkable experience, and I'm excited to share some nuggets with you.
The word for today is NI HAO (你 好), which means HELLO or HI in Chinese. It's a common greeting and a delightful way to begin our language exploration together.
Attaboy.
Now that you've started this, no stopping soon.
Nice piece 👍 hameedX
