Winner | Random pick to win 1 SBI

iamjadeline (69)in #commentwinner • 8 years ago

Last week, I wrote a freewrite based on the prompt "Successful". And at the end of the freewrite, I threw a question to people and whoever comment will be included in my random pick, one winner chosen will get 1 SBI. The question sounded like this "How do you define yourself as someone who is successful?"

Before that, a short description of what SBI is.

Steem Basic Income (SBI) is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content. In other words, it is like a type of bot, where there is a one time fee for a life time of upvotes. 1 share is equal to 1 steem, and 1 share also entitles you to sponsor one person within the community. 1 share is about $.01 a week, however it is based on a % rather than a fixed upvote value.

Back to the comments, I received comments from 9 Steemians on the question given. They are:

I feel successful any time an obese person tells me my work helped them to get on the path to health. It does not happen very often, but it is very rewarding when it does. Sometimes the person sends me photos to show me their before and after shots. This is a wonderful result because then I know they are truly on the right path.

@mimismartypants

As you say success can be defined in many different ways by many different people. Everybody places importantance on different things! I would like to think im have been successful in certain aspects and trying to succeed some other aspects of my life. At different points we are presented with different challenges. I figure as long as i do my best and keep trying, it can never be seen as unsuccessful! Failure is just a part of a success journey!

I remember the 5Cs... We used it in school to assess our potential future partners in life. How naive we were.. ha ha..

5Ms.. I don't recall that but it sure makes sense. But then, I think this is all when we were younger & am not exposed to the real world.

Everyone define success differently based on their life priorities. I feel there's nothing wrong with it so long as they're happy.

@ayushjalan

I think what success means to me personally is how wisely I use my time and the number of lives I am able to influence.

I can obviously see why fame and fortune are the biggest priorities for some people but what good is life if it's not lived knowing that you have changed someone else's?

@tristancarax

I like that we both had in mind to question what successful means and is.

@traciyork

I agree - I also think successful people see things from a positive viewpoint, and are happy with their lives. For example, someone who has tons of money, but needs weekly therapy because they feel unfulfilled wouldn't be someone I'd call successful. But someone who is living paycheck-to-paycheck, and tackles each obstacle with the attitude of, "I can make it through this" with a smile on their face is definitely a success. Excellent freewrite, @iamjadeline!

@fruityexplorer

I personally think that a successful person is the one with non-monetary assets such as presence of friends and family. When you need help, you have friends to call and they will come without asking any questions (without hesitation). I think this person is successful if he/she can mix well with different people and all people has good comment about him/her. :)

@happycrazycon

Successful to me is everytime I can try again later being beaten down and take on a new grace from God. I always tell myself everyone's success looks different so I shouldn't compare. I have success because I have God even if I have nothing much. Success is being powerful and whole in my soul because that would mean more than anything as it is the characters to contain success in every other manner.

I used an app called Random Picker to choose one lucky winner for 1 SBI.
