AHMED MOHAMMED, 30 UNDER 30

I was an architect.

I was not imagining that I would work in an advertising agency.

I am a survivor.

I am not a fake person.

I shall be more open.

I shall not be overly diplomatic.

I like it when I find a different way to solve common problems.

I dislike it when people judge things without any clue.

My biggest ambition is to make a real impact on people's lives.

My biggest worry is waking up one day and realizing that time has passed, and I am still in the same place.

I am most proud of my journey from Riyadh to Sudan, to Cairo, to Dubai.

I am a bit ashamed that I had to work with some clients whose values I disagree with.

Looking back, probably I should have made different choices.

Looking back, probably I should not have doubts regarding myself in many situations.

It all fell apart when a war took place in my country and my family had to leave our home.

Things made sense when I decided to move to Dubai.

Eventually, things will end at a point where everything started.

Eventually, things will not change unless we change.

Someone once advised me that cruelty is a sign of weakness and insecurity, while kindness is a sign of strength.

I once advised someone that they should never care about how people think about them; they should do the right thing and move on.

If I had a superpower, it would be flying.

My superpower in real life is my strong state of mind.

The word I use most is "TMAM," which means "okay."

The word I dislike most is "Arabization."

This too shall pass…

My most treasured passion is to help people.

People should be more unified.

People should be less competitive.

I wish to thank my father.
