Upon returning to Nigeria a few years back, my brother and I lived together for a while. Our favourite pastime was to whip out the PS4 controllers and play FIFA. At the start, our gaming sessions were, well, kind of lopsided. I had the upper hand and would defeat him in nearly every game. These easy victories, oh boy, they felt fantastic! But you know what? Things began to change. Our matches became more intense, no longer the easy wins for me. And then, the unexpected happened - my brother started winning. He had figured out my playing style and learned how to anticipate my moves. I remember him teasing me, saying my game was too predictable. And you know what? He was right. That was my wake-up call. I had to change my strategy, tweak my playing style, and up my game to start winning again. Sure, it was challenging, but a challenge that was crucial and, to be honest, quite exciting. There's a deeper meaning hidden beneath this playful anecdote. Lessons that are about more than just a game. 1. When life sends you tumbling, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and learn from what happened. Every loss, if closely examined, comes packed with a lesson. 2. And remember, being on top can be deceiving. It can blind you to others observing, learning, and preparing to challenge you. To stay in the game, you've got to keep refining your strategies. But let's not forget the most important thing. Life's all about wins and losses. You'll experience both, and that's perfectly fine. That's the beauty of life's game.

Here’s to #Infinity #adgm #adfw #8toinfinity

Great video conference today of Domain Days Co-Founder Munir Badr on LinkedIn!! The 1st Domain Days Dubai is quickly approaching!! It should raise a lot of Eyebrows in “The Middle East” & “The MENA Region” about the importance and significance of “quality” URL’s. I think it’s so awesome that they will have the Dubai Department of Economy & Tourism CEO, Dr. Marwan Alzarouni, speaking on Day 1 of the Conference. Almost all Travel Plans “Start & End” via the Internet; Searching for Places, Purchasing Tickets for Tours, Reserving Hotel Rooms, Booking Flights, etc., are ALL DONE on the Internet. Domain Names like “TheMiddleEast.com” & “TheMENAregion.com are essential to capture the consumer from the moment Travelers 🧳 begin to make “Travel Plans”. Without the right domain name(s), Tourism Authorities miss out from the “get go”, without the right domain name(s). Many corporations & organizations are under the “false impression” that they only need one domain name to capture potential consumers. To the contrary, owning multiple domain names & having multiple websites, only lead to one thing; MORE PAYING CONSUMERS. “The Middle East” is the fastest growing Travel Market on the Planet this year, & it looks like that trend is going to continue well into the foreseeable future. Saudi Arabia has committed $1.0 TRILLION to promote Tourism “AcrossTheKingdom.com”! 😃 The Middle East is the hot spot of the Planet ✈️ right now, Travel is a huge opportunity & Qatar 🇶🇦, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Kuwait 🇰🇼, Bahrain 🇧🇭, Turkey 🇹🇷, Egypt 🇪🇬 and the UAE 🇦🇪 are ALL in intense competition for the hundreds of billions in Tourism Dollars! For one visionary Leader, securing the CONTROL of “TheMiddleEast.com”, just might give them an edge over their competitors & drive more travelers to their specific country. If you only own VisitDubai.com, you’re missing out on the millions of travelers searching for information on the famous region itself, “TheMiddleEast.com”. Owning “VisitDubai.com” and “TheMiddleEast.com”, gives the owner the added possibilities of millions of travel consumers searching for information on The Middle East in general. It’s only “logical” that a Tourism Authority, Airline or Travel related industry business would want to control TheMiddleEast.com, in addition to their current domain name and brand. Duel branding. The Famous Global Brand, “TheMiddleEast.com”, is still up for grabs, at a modest price of only $3.5 million. With names like “China.com” recording a $11.7 million dollar price tag, “TheMiddleEast.com” should be considered a bargain at only $3.5 million. That’s 70% lower than the “China.com” sale. We are looking forward to the Domain Days Dubai Conference to discuss “TheMiddleEast.com” with some powerful and influential investors and Tourism Executives who will be in attendance. There is only one domain like it; “TheMiddleEast.com”! And only one country will soon walk away with it. And it just could happen at Domain Days Dubai 2023!!

DOJ is taking the right steps to curb ticketing fraud and price gouging. If you can't scalp airline tickets, should you be allowed to scalp event tickets? #events #ticketing #doj #progress

Payouts may seem like a purely operational concern for businesses. But there's no denying that, for people, money is inherently emotional. Getting refunds with speed and convenience can be the difference between trusting and promoting a brand or complaining to friends and family. That's why instant payouts are game changing for strengthening customer relationships and unlocking growth. #payouts #openbanking #ecommerce #igaming

Saudi has its very own challenges and opportunities when it comes to Asset Management! In its current phase of hyper growth, Asset Lifecycle considerations are critical, which ensure that assets (no matter whether facilities, plants etc.) are not only properly built, but also operated and maintained so they generate value over their lifespan, and contribute to the Saudi Vision 2030 and specific organizational targets. It was a pleasure to be back in Riyadh, and speak about Data Driven Maintenance! #IFSConnect #AssetManagement #DataDrivenMaintenance
