Start from Curiosity

Start from Curiosity

The answer to ā€œI donā€™t know how to get started.ā€ isnā€™t too complex :-

  1. Just know why you need to start ?
  2. Then find `where` you will start from ?
  3. "You start from curiosity"

If the reason is not clear, it may wear you off from continuing,

The reason to start should not halt you from the start. You just spark it from curiosity.

  2. It should be as clear and detailed, that it can be followed step-wise.
