I was looking back at some of my early blog post and I was happily surprised to see how much I have grown with my grammar and my blogging.
Yes, I was pretty bad at it a little over a year ago. It's improved greatly, still I have a long way to go. I do not think people who are proficient in grammar realize the struggle it is for those of us who struggle with it. Yep, I learned it in school, in third grade I believe. Yet whatever I learned so long ago was never practiced or used, so I became the person the grammar police love to persecute. I know I need to re-study it and take a class or hire a professional person to help me, yet it's not on the top of my list as I build startups, and those are ever consuming in so many ways. I brush off grammar learning as something not so important, as I can communicate, even if it's shakie at best, it's still my words struggling to get out of me, to you.
My lack of skills are improving. Someday I may even be considered a great writer. Who knows. Maybe I'll even be considered a great startup builder. All I know is, I don't care how many handicaps, shortcomings or lack of knowledge I may have, I'm going to do what I see in my mind to do. I'm going to build. Even if others judge me as lacking in skills. Even my very fine lawyer said "It might be hard for you to get into Y Combinator considering your job experience" Yep, my resume is just as horrible looking as my grammar. But it's my life path, and I wouldn't be in this place if I hadn't lived that life. I would not be able to build gifts for humanity, if I had not lived with humanity in the trenches of life.
Keep building no matter your shortcomings ~ You are exactly the person to do it.
