A Story About Me!
If you are reading this, there is a high chance that you don’t know me, As this is my first article on Medium.
So, the purpose of writing this is to introduce myself to you.
Writing an article about yourself isn’t always easy. It’s similar to answering the question at an interview, tell me about yourself.
I will start with why I started writing online.
Initially, it was just because I enjoy writing but later it kind of became an addiction; who doesn’t like sharing their work with the world and getting appreciation?
So I am a Project Engineer by Profession and a Writer by Passion.
I always had a thing for writing, and although I am terrible with spellings, the auto-correct feature in ms-word took care of it.
It is a great feeling when some stranger reads your articles and connects with them.
LinkedIn journey
When I started writing on LinkedIn, I always wondered why anybody would want to hear from a 20-year old who hasn’t done anything significant in life but somehow it is going well till now.
You can check my profile www.linkedin.com/.in/harshitha-kankanala
- It is the first platform I started my online writing thing
- Gained 7000+ followers in a year
- Achieved consistent growth on the platform.
Things I say to myself every morning
- Life is like compound interest, the more you invest early on, the higher benefits you get later on.
- Have the courage to stand up for yourself because if you don’t nobody else will.
- Whatever you do will be Insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.
- Don’t let your lack of preparation be an excuse to not start something.
- At 22, the chances of finding love are weak. It was easier when you were 18 and high on half-read Shakespeare books.
