<aside> 💡 Before further reading this document, did you ask yourself if you tied the camel?

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, there’s a hadith that outlines the story of a Bedouin man who was leaving his camel without tying it. The Prophet (PBUH) asked him “Why don't you tie down your camel?” The Bedouin answered, “I put my trust in Allah.” The Prophet then replied, “Tie your camel first, and then put your trust in Allah.

1. Did you reach out and develop relationships or conversations FIRST on Slack or WhatsApp before using mpConnect?
   • If you didn’t break the ice or start some small talk to naturally connect with people, go back to Slack/WhatsApp group and do that. Here’s a few examples:
     • Share a photo of your workspace or something interesting on your desk
     • Tell us about a book, movie, or TV show you recently enjoyed
     • Share a recipe or cooking tip
     • What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
     • What's something you've been grateful for recently?
     • Share a funny meme or joke
     • What's something you're looking forward to in the near future?
     • Share a photo of your pet (if you have one)
     • What's your favorite way to unwind after a long day?
2. Imagine you were about to dm that same message to yourself… Are you begging or building a relationship?
   • Did you know that building a rapport with people you want to be like, increases your chances to getting into a job like them too? Think back to the perfume shop hadith.
