Share Your Work!🔥

One of my favourite quotes from Austin kleon,😇 the author of “Show Your Work” 📝

If you look back closely at history, many of the people who we think of as lone geniuses were actually part of “a whole scene of people who were supporting each other, looking at each other’s work, copying from each other, stealing ideas, and contributing ideas.”

I always been a no-sharer. From kindergarten to bachelor’s degree. That’s not because I m selfish. It was because, I never thought sharing our ideas will bring any fruitful result. I thought instead of sharing our ideas, explaining and convincing people. We can just work on our idea by ourselves and try to improve and implement it.

But I decided to give it a try. I created along with two of my friends a whatsapp group called study club, where we would share our ideas, and even our progress. This made me somewhat accountable to them. As time went on, I found that the club thrived (though sometimes we stopped it totally) in the long run. I also found that my relationship with them also improved and I started to learn from them more than what I was giving away.

Two days ago, Ali Abdaal (youtuber) tweeted asking for ideas for his next video on making a personal website. I shared my idea of hosting a ghost.org website with github pages. In this way, we don’t need to pay any hosting cost and I suggested that it would be a boon for students who are starting it out. That comment got so much likes, and people commented asking for resources to do that. This made me realize, people really need  this kind of stuff. Also, I realized “something I thought to be simple 🤓, may not be so simple to others, who are beginners”.

Also, I found that sharing our work help us to get valuable feedback, which could totally change the work we are doing. No more days of spending days on a project, which is illogical but somehow our brain🧠 couldn’t catch that.
