“Usually, after my university classes, I spent a great deal of my time browsing books and checking for new ones. I rely on books on my books so much that they are my main source for inspiration and realising my future dreams. Through books, I plan my life and set my own personal goals. I love self-improvement books and those that talk about history. The fact that these books are presented in open spaces shows you that we, as a country, are heading in the right direction and it forces people to stop, skim-read and buy. We didn’t have this opportunity a few years back. Things are changing for the best.”

“Kadib casharada jamacadayda, waxaan wakhtigayga ku qorsheeyey in aan bugaag kala duwan soo helo hadana aan baaro buugag cusub. Waxaan ku tiirsana bugaagta, buugagtaydu waxay ahayeen isha ugu wayn aan ka heli jiray xaqiijinta riyooyinkayga. Anigoo ka faa’iidaysanaya buugaagta, waxaan u sameeya naftayda qorshe iyo hadaf, waxaan jecelahay bugaagta ka hadlaya hor’umarinta nolosha qofka iyo kuwa laga qoray dhacdooyin taariikhi ah. Xaqiiqadu waa in buugtan ku siinayaan fursad ah in aad ku socoto jidkii saxda ahaa, dhanka kale waa fursad ku khasbaysa dadku in ay akhristaan kadibna iibsadaan, fursadahan maynu haysan sanado ka hor. Laakiin hada waxaa jira isbedel ah in dhanka wacan wax u socdaan.”
