越来越多人把朋友圈锁进 “3 天可见”,让主页变得一片空白,但其实,这方小小的空间,正是你最低成本、最鲜活的个人简历与作品集。

What I find interesting is that a lot of young people have stopped posting on social media. They only allow others to see about 3 days of updates on their friends' circle. Of course, this definitely makes sense—some people want to keep their lives private. But I think, as long as you present yourself to your friends either in person or online, you’re going to show your portfolio. So your posts on Moments are a form of portfolio.
As someone working in the media industry, the first lesson we learned is to build our portfolio. Building a portfolio is the easiest way to help people understand who you are, what you do, what you care about, and what you can offer them. So social media posts aren’t just about your private feelings or daily life—they’re about what you can offer to the world, and what your friends or people out there can resonate with.
If you never post anything on social media, people won’t get to see your talents. Because it takes time to get to know someone, and for most people, time is their most valuable asset. They definitely won’t spend hours getting to know someone they just randomly come across.
So if you can consistently post your ideas, thoughts, products, or work on your social media, people will immediately get a sense of your personality, your contributions, and your work ethic.
I actually learned a lot from my friends—artists, designers, actors, entrepreneurs, and IT professionals. They usually share their ideas before launching their products, get feedback from their friends, finalize the first version, and then refine those products later. I think this is a really smart way to leverage collective wisdom. Sometimes you get so immersed in your own ideas that you lose sight of what the market really needs, and you have no clue about your audience or users.
So the best approach is to post your work, reach out to them, gather their insights and feedback, and use that to improve your products. This concept is actually called the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) test, and it’s widely used in Silicon Valley and by many business leaders.
The best way isn’t to wait until your product is perfect, but to tap into collective wisdom and find people who can help you refine it. By sharing more of your ideas, you’ll also attract the right friends—those who truly appreciate your values, work, and personality. You can build rapport and trust with these people, and they’ll stay with you throughout your life.
Of course, I’m not encouraging you to post randomly about your private feelings, lash out on social media, or argue with people for no reason. I’m saying you should put your best ideas out there. You can share your thoughts in progress.
If we think of all ideas as a market, you’ll notice that the most mediocre ones usually stand out. Why? Because a lot of smart people don’t post. Some are unwilling to share their values—they’re afraid their ideas will be criticized. They don’t believe in themselves or their values because they think they’re not 100% ready.
But I believe the best ideas will eventually shine through. And finally, here’s the most important question: If you never put your ideas out there, who will benefit from them?
It’s a huge loss to the world—you’re so talented, you have so many great ideas, and the world deserves to know your wisdom, your contributions, and your values. Right?
