Sharing
Unsure if you should write that blog post explaining what you learned or start that webpage about that "silly little" project of yours? Or show your art or share your music?
-
Your voice is the one somebody else needs to hear.
-
If you like what you’re doing, somebody else will too.
-
Even if you don’t like what you’re doing, somebody else probably still will.
-
No, not everyone has already read/heard/seen everything. Yours will be the first for somebody.
Not only is your writing/art/music/speech unique, you may be the only person sharing this thing now, today. There’s a temporal aspect as well. What was common knowledge a decade ago may not be anymore. Dig up some old stuff and present it afresh - always cite your sources and share credit - people will respect you more, not less, if you cite your sources.
