Hi beautiful people,
I hope you are having a wonderful week so far. I started doing some garden work last weekend and to be honest, I feel like a complete newbie. When you are getting started with anything new, realising the amount of information you don't know or don't have can be very daunting. However, you wouldn't usually say gardening is not for you, even though you enjoy it. You just keep trying to grow something until you figured it out. I think we can adopt a similar approach in tech. Keep trying until you figure it out.
The same holds true for conversations, when we talk about someone else's garden, who has put a lot of effort into creating a beautiful space, we would not start to find imperfections but rather share recommendations and support each other.
– and look how pretty the herbs look inside my planter.
