My first acquisition with my first payment THANKS to Steemit!!!!

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory. Gandhi.

Good afternoon friends, today I want to tell you about something that interests us all, something that attracted many of us to this community.

I am Venezuelan and as you know the economic situation is actually very hard, no matter how hard you work, the salary is not enough even to food. In the middle of this situation one day a friend came to me and he told me about a social network called Steemit, "it's like posting photos on Instagram but Steemit pays you for it", he told me. Certainly I did not put much attention to what he told me because I thought it was a big lie, the days went by and he kept insisting that I would not lose anything if I just try it, so and that's how it was. I decided to register and start getting involved to see how I was doing, to see if it was true that they really pay.

I have been only two months on this community and it is not easy but I think that something truly valuable and important cannot be easy, isn’t it?. In this short time I can say that I have not given 100% of my time to understand how everything works, nor have I written extremely produced and transcendental posts, but anyway YES I have earned money. Last week I received my first payment, something that I thought could never be possible, I mean, making money online practically doing nothing.

Thanks to that payment of just 3 SBD I was able to buy my first little kitchen stove (which I needed too much), it is small with only two burners, but IT IS MINE, bought with my own money. And none is able to afford it even with 5 months of salary here in my country.

The truth is that I am very excited to move forward here in Steemit, maybe I still do not have posts with many votes, and sometimes I have written a post putting all my effort on it and thinking that it will like other people but ending up with only 1 vote, which have discouraged me so much, also in this short time I have thought, "No, It is impossible to achieve so many sbd" but, now I keep in mind that every start is hard, so if others have succeeded, Why do I not? Of course, I can, you can too, it is just about effort and dedication.

However, keep in mind that you should not do it just for the money. Yes, we all need it, I live in a country where any income I can get from here, however minimal, is a mini fortune for me, but the idea is to contribute to Steemit, not only extract benefits. Give love, share your experiences, your knowledge, your opinions all in favor of the rise of our community. And only then will you see how everything is easier for you.
