I think one of the things that happens when you grow up in a country like Lebanon, there's a lot of similar countries that have similar issues, is that everything is very dynamic.

You have to adapt.
You become very adaptable, basically.
Because one day there's war, one day there's civil war, one day there's bombs, one day the country is doing okay.
They can change their entire life pretty quickly to adapt to something new that gets thrown at them.
And then two, they always smile at life.
They got so used to bad things happening that they don't take them too seriously.
So you could have a bomb happen during the day and then Lebanese people would party at night.
They would not cancel their social plans or anything like that, which is, I think, very cool.
I think that definitely has come with me in founder journey, which is you're going to get hit hard and there's going to be new things.
As an entrepreneur, there's always new things that get thrown at you every week, every month, and you're going to have to adapt and then not complain too much about it.
Don't take it too seriously.
You're just going to have to change the way you're approaching things and then hope that over a long period of time, if you're doing the right thing, it's going to work out.
