We’re all terrified of being revealed as amateurs but in fact, amateurs are the people who take chances, experiment with various things, and follow their whims.

Once Zen monk Shunryu Suzuki said, “In the Beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities but in the Professional’s mind, there are very few!!

In the race of creating new Content every day, Amature knows the difference between the Mediocre and the Good. He is well-known of the fact of contributing something is much better than doing nothing.

Once C. S. Lewis said, “The Difficulty we want him to explain is one he has recently met. The expert met it so long ago he has forgotten!!”.

The best way to get started on the path to sharing your work is to think about what you want to share, make a commitment, find a scenius, pay attention to what others are sharing, and then start taking note of what they’re not sharing. Share what you love and the people who love the same things will find you!!

Signing off with the beautiful quote by Charlie Chaplin — “That’s all any of us are: amateurs. We don’t live long enough to be anything else.
