When all of this is over, the size of the pie will get smaller. The person who survives the new world will be the person with a better mindset & maximum number of useful skills.

Are you that person?

There can be hundreds of excuses, but remember, the choice will always be yours!

Inshallah, we will all pass through this pandemic unscathed – or with minimum losses.
