"I'm being of service to others."

This is the sentence that struck me. Many people hesitate to sell themselves because they don't see the value of what they are saying.

I'm so glad this resonated with you Moon!

What is obvious to you is extraordinary to someone else. :)

I do prepare for some exams. Earlier I used to share my learnings along the way. For some reason I had stopped in middle. This article nudged me restart sharing my learnings :) (also your website looks quite pretty! Sometime, I would love to know what platforms you have used to design it.)

Keep sharing Satya! The world will be a better place because of it. The best way to internalize what you learn is to communicate to others.

Thank you! My website is hand coded, no frameworks, vanilla html, css and js, hosted on Vercel. I recommend you try framer.com though!

I always value your economy of words, Ash!

Thank you for letting me know Karena!

What a clever way to put it, be an encourager not an influencer!

Thanks for these insights - I tend to overthink before writing something. I may be excited to start but on second look, the idea sounds mundane or ridiculous. So, don't overthink! Love your graphics!
