Not good enough

Many people feel like they should start e.g. blogging to build their personal brand, but never actually begin to blog because they’re afraid of being publicly embarrassed. — What if my ideas are evident, or evidently wrong? People will laugh at me!

To get good at something, there is no way around practicing it. Nothing is perfect at inception. Success comes from relentless improvement rather than initial endowment. And feedback is most critical in getting better, so there is no point in writing your posts to /dev/null.
