Personal Branding: An underrated weapon.
In our society, we believe that proclaiming good deeds or achievements is not normal, and it is sometimes interpreted as bragging. However, in today's world of intense busyness, where everyone is preoccupied with themselves, no one has time to recognize others' potential or achievement. Nobody will believe in you if you don't believe in yourself. Every successful brand today invests money to promote itself, and this self-branding is something that technical people lack, which is why they frequently lag behind others even though they have excelled in their profession greatly.
I was in my third year at the time, and I started writing on a Google blog. For a few weeks, my blog received no reads or views. Then I removed that blog, re-uploaded it, and shared the blog's URL on my social media accounts; fifty people read my blog within an hour this time. After a few weeks, I was given the opportunity to collaborate with my seniors on a research project. During that time, I learned plenty. I still believe that if I hadn't posted blogs and articles I had written on social media, I would not have had the opportunity to collaborate with my seniors. I could have missed out on an opportunity to learn. It is important to remember that we are not born to make everyone happy, and we must recognize the difference between advertising our achievements and inflating our deeds.
