DeveloPassion's Newsletter - Silence is golden
Hello everyone! I’m Sébastien Dubois, your host. You’re receiving this email because you signed up for DeveloPassion’s Newsletter. Thank you for being here with me ✨
If you enjoy this newsletter, then become a supporter ❤️
Welcome to the 88th edition
Another week, another newsletter! I hope that you all had a great one 🤩
By far, one of the skills I value the most in my life is being able to close my mouth and open my mind. Truly listening to ourselves and others is so impactful.
So this week, instead of making noise and rambling about my meaningless life challenges, I’ll instead leave you alone with your thoughts. Listen to yourself. And when you’re around other people, take the opportunity to truly listen to what they have to say.

I really need your help. If you get value from this newsletter, please consider becoming a supporter. You’ll be able to join the curious minds private community and meet like-minded people while enabling me to keep creating content. If you prefer, you can also buy one of my products on Gumroad or buy me a coffee tea.
Alright, let’s goooooo 🚀
