Hi Reader,
Earlier this year, I decided to try my hand at creating a TikTok video and I had no idea what I was doing. ?? That doesn’t mean it wasn’t valuable for me to try. While recording a TikTok video may seem trivial, it represents a bigger idea: It’s ok to try new things where the outcome won’t be 100% perfect.
?? Tip of the Day
As a perfectionist myself, it can be difficult to try or publish things that won’t be… well, perfect. But if I waited till that “perfect moment,” I would never start anything! Learning and iterating along the way is just as valuable and a wonderful way to build confidence.
And, the next video ended up being much better. :)
If you’re curious, here is my first-ever TikTok video . ??

2 个月I agree, taking the very first step is what matters the most. Until you don't give a try to anything you will never come to know the result/outcome. Lorraine K. Lee
