One hundred percent! Glad to have crossed that stage of life, Shallom.

Brick by brick, it took 6 years to build. The process wasn’t all smooth sailing. Gravity, whirlwinds, and high temperatures posed a severe challenge. The engineers didn't stop the construction at any point. 0 to 1 is hard. Stand tall against adversities, like Burj Khalifa.

Treat writing like going to the gym: • Push yourself to write better than yesterday • Keep going until you can’t write anymore • Increase the number of words • Beat your personal best • Put in a few more reps • Never skip the drill • Rest your mind • Repeat

If you feel you’re behind everyone else. Remember, Some people bloom late. Some people bloom super late. However, they all bloom. The road is long and often lonely. Hang on. You’ll eventually sort things out. Slowly but surely. No need to rush. Life will unfold.

Awesome, Shallom. I am super happy to see this post. I feel bad that I wasn't able to be here for your big milestone. Proud of what you are doing here. Thrilled to be a part of your journey. Wishing you to reach more heights. Mission 10K next 🚀🤝🔥

Great work, Pang 🙌 We can breeze through your newsletter since you put in so much effort into your writing. Cannot wait for Friday 🥳 You deserve 👇

Good morning Pang. Same here 🤝 Looking forward to your course 🥳 Have a great day!

It doesn’t happen in your first draft. It doesn’t happen in your first tweet. Good writing comes from repetition and practice. And tons of time and patience. The refinement happens in the editing phase. With a watchful eye.

Thank you, Vince. Appreciate your honesty! You are right. This is Frodo. The original picture is named The Reader by Napoléon Heilbuth (1856). I found out this was a face swap.

Keep writing Until your hands hurt. Keep writing When you’re feeling stuck. Keep writing Even if no one is reading it. Keep writing When you don’t see the results. Keep writing When your writing sounds mediocre. Keep writing When you don’t want to put pen to paper.
