Dear friends and family,

I hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy.

I never thought #quarantine be a trend on social media, but it is now. In fact, there are many things that we didn’t expect: working remotely to become the new routine, and video calls to become our first choice of chatting. Once again, this proves that we are living in an era of unexpected events.

Nowruz holidays and COVID situations, gave me a lot of time this month to work remotely and chat with friends on video calls. If you are also trying to work remotely, watch these 6 TEDTalks. They’ll help.

IDea Designer Board meeting the virtual version

Reza Ghiabi's article for Idea Designers magazine

In the third week of the quarantine, I have finished another article to be published in the next issue of the Idea Designers, read almost 400 pages of my favorite books and even wrote my first poem!

Our beloved eSafar also is learning to thrive by focusing on making even more value for its audience and customers. We are constantly in search of bright talents, as well as digital veterans to join our team in Tehran. Interested in joining our team? I just reply to this email with your resume.

TED did a great job this month by creating even more digital campfires. TED Connects Facebook live series are a great source of insight. I have also attended my first TEDCircles were we watched talks and made conversations.

I also try to create more content on the internet. That is why most of the evenings I’ll have an Instagram Live chat with my friends around 9:00 pm.

If you can read Farsi, I want you to know that I’m regularly updating my Virgool publication with more episodes of the “4 Seasons of the Opportunity Making” book. We wrote these books back in 2015. It’s a montage of the TED speakers Somin Sinek and Barry Schwartz in my own words. Just click here and read on! I hope you enjoy it. I believe that the COVID situation makes us more ready for the next challenges in a way that never happened before.

My best as always,
Reza
