Reem Sabobeh, Senior Communications Manager, Havas Red, ME #30under30
I was someone who believed hard work alone would open every door.
I was not prepared to how much connections shape success.
I am someone who keeps running a list of dreams.
I am not great at hiding how I feel, it’s always written all over my face.
I shall be someone who leaves things better than I found them.
I shall not be too comfortable for too long.
I like it when I have a few slow mornings.
I dislike it when someone is dismissive.
My biggest ambition is to lead by example.
My biggest worry is losing sight of what actually matters in the rush to keep up.
I am most proud of the times I showed up for others.
I am a bit ashamed that I’ve become fluent in the art of overcommitting.
Looking back, probably I should have taken more photos of the little moments.
Looking back, probably I should not have tried to plan every detail—some of the best things were unplanned.
It all fell apart when I overcommitted and stretched myself too thin.
Things made sense when I started recognizing what I already have.
Eventually things will become a story I’m proud to tell.
Eventually things will not feel so heavy - hindsight is like the friend who reminds you “it’s not that deep”.
Someone once advised me that ”No.” is a complete sentence.
I once advised someone that you can’t please everyone, so start with pleasing yourself.
If I had a superpower it would be to teleport.
My superpower in real life is empathy and understanding people’s emotions.
The word I use most is literally.
The word I dislike most is mundane.
This too shall pass is a reminder than nothing is permanent.
My most treasured passion is interior décor and transforming spaces into something that feel like home.
People should be more straightforward.
People should be less serious and approach things with a lighter heart.
I wish to thank every person that carried me through my stressful moments, I promise to lift you up the same way you did.
