Take your fights head on

Today it is our 6th time gathering to hold each other’s hands and take us forward. I am nervous and inside I know, it will be a successful day. Let’s fight our fears together.

Our today’s schedule, RSVP here to attend.

We gather, talk, hug, discuss and share our thoughts. We do not do these things much often. Each day the technology, twitter, fake social media networking is breaking us inside. We are instead of coming closer, going farther away from reality and meaningful relationships. We are tearing up inside. We are not sharing our true thoughts. We are becoming somebody’s else’s lyrics and somebody’s else’s music. It is leading us to isolation.

Let me tell you how we are going to fix it, through our monthly tech conferences.

1. We are showing up fully transparent

This is us on Feb 9, 2020 · Our 2nd Chapter of this year.

You have few ideas that you want to validate. You fear judgement. You fear it is one bad idea and you do not want to say it out loud. You know what? We are going to discuss the worst ideas ever on planet earth. We are going to speak about them the loudest that they start feeling real.

This will guarantee you, your idea is still better. Your product has more potential. You have better ways of marketing and you have more chances of succeeding.

Our failures shown live on stage, will only give you courage. Our walking transparent, keeping the bar of high standards down and acting real, will only push you forward.

2. We will be giving respect, not earning respect.

This is us on Mar 1, 2020 · Our 3rd Chapter of this year.

This place is not to earn respect, become successful or get rich. Here, during our conferences / meetups we are not walking down the same old / patchy / broken road of immaterial successes and exponential graphs. Here, in our talks, we are going to give respect, give out our money, time and ears all out to our participants. We are going to show it. Not earn it. Neither do we plan on grabbing it anywhere in the near future.

3. Is this the right place for you?

If you think, you are rejected, neglected and dejected. This is the perfect place for you.

If you have seen failures and you have a pain inside. This is the right place for you.

If you have thirst, which is never quenched, a belly never filled to the top, a heart never satisfied, this is a place for you.

If you want to help and see others coming above, instead of yourself, this is the right place for you.

4. We are relying on Allah

Quran by Lexi T

I have a broken Apple TV. This is used to connect our laptop to our event hall’s projector screen. Today it is faulty. It is not working. And I don’t know how I will manage it. There is an inside trust on Allah (GOD) that it will be fixed. It will come back alive as we reach our venue.

There are numerous other things broken.

1. The person who is going to record our sessions, is committed else where and might not make it.

2. The place is not properly aligned. The tables, the snacks and the hall is not prepared at all for a good event.

3. The electricity issue is not resolved. We need a back up generator to make sure nothing interrupts the event.

4. We have spared very short intervals, 5 minutes actually, to pick up attendees from their homes.

5. We have not yet tested our zoom IDs and we do not know if it works right or not.

We are going head on towards making sure, we fail. We are taking this fight fully transparent. And we are learning to believe on Allah. We are learning the methods of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. We are learning to have faith.

5. It is a head On fight

Road by Matt Duncan

Honestly, inside I know, I am willing to lose all of my life towards my purpose. My livelihood, my siblings, my colleagues and my salary. Inside, I am ready if it is all taken away and I am left alone. Inside I know, this life is meaningless and this has to become adventure to put a meaning into it.

I am going all in, head on, unprepared, straight into the established norms, laid out rules and declared ethics. I am going straight towards it. And it brings with it, a million possibilities, hundreds of unknown fears and very bright chances of achieving success.

Conclusion

Shore by Rajiv Perera

We do not provide a comfortable environment during our sessions. Our attendees are made to sit hours helpless but listening to the growing hunger, curiosities and passion. We feed not Coke, not a good bread, not decorated snacks. We feed only passion / fire / ideas and curiosities. We lift lives by walking naked on stage; vulnerable, failed and original.

Above it, it is learning to code. Underneath it is the message of Quran. If you want to see Quran making wonders on earth; come on, join us, see us fail, see us walk blind and witness us fighting our fears.
