“You can fix anything but a blank page.”
― Nora Roberts
For the first time in my life, I shared one of my storytelling posts on Instagram. The reason was simple—I occasionally receive comments and likes from the official Google Pixel and Made by Google accounts on the platform. That small recognition made me realize, perhaps more clearly than ever before, the power of storytelling.
When introducing yourself, storytelling is one of the few skills that truly matter. Stories are emotional bridges—they don’t just recount what happened, but reveal why it matters. People resonate with experiences, struggles, and emotions, not with raw facts alone. A well-crafted story stirs emotion, builds trust, and nurtures loyalty.
Here is the post I shared on Instagram:
In my case, as I mentioned in the post, I shared how my passion for Pixel devices inspired me to become an Android developer—and how I can now proudly introduce myself as one. Storytelling, I’ve realized, is more than just a skill; it is emotion set in motion. I once heard my manager say that if you want to move someone’s feelings, you must touch their heart with words.
For me, Pixel became a metaphor for life transitions. To most, it’s simply the name of a device. But for me, it represents creativity, passion, enthusiasm, and playfulness—qualities that have shaped not only my identity but also my career. And I believe storytelling can be equally transformative for anyone. It is a powerful way to share your worldview with the world around you.
