Man… I could not have said it better myself. I don’t think people realize a lot of times how they can be a make or break for many people when they are trying new things. Everyone is always being watched and observed whether they like it or not, so be a good example. Otherwise karma or whatever you want to call it which does exist can be a real B.

For anyone starting out, jump in there and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. Take criticism for sure, but don’t let anyone affect your posture; whether good or bad criticism. I personally see nothing wrong in checking things out in advanced areas maybe 5% of the time you spend, since myself personally; am very motivated by things far far beyond my expertise to want to keep learning and creating to get to that point. Along that way though, you should be building basics and fundamentals for sure.

Good luck to you (even if this post is pretty old coming across it)
