Don't forget to live while trying to earn a living.. Nigerian Curators are awesome
"As a curator and a community builder, I am dedicated to the growth of my community and also to ensure that I utilise the delegated SP properly by voting good, quality and not plagiarised post. If you check the time of this post from Nigeria, you will see that I'm posting around 1:00 AM because I spend most of the day reading posts and curating them. I go to bed on an average day around 5:00 AM and wake up around 8:00 AM (Don't worry, I have been doing this for a long time, so I am used to it already). As a curator, I am online even when I'm sleeping having my favourite and the most visited page being https://steemit.com/created/nigeria. With the epileptic supply of electricity in the country, I have to run my generator for virtually 24 hours, which is very expensive. Steemians who know me personally can testify to the fact that my generator is always doing its duty 24 hours. With this, I hope you know that most Nigerian curators are now full-time steemians, with no social life outside steemit. I use smile network provider in Lagos, I use Glo, Mtn and 9mobile in Ile-Ife. Those who base in Ile-Ife and its environs can attest to the poor network connection, so I spend a whole lot on DATA subscription (Do not feel for me, I enjoy what I do and I do it with love for the community).
There are other things I do not have to share, but can you give such sacrifice?""

The above is a narrative by a Nigerian curator on the steemit community.
This is the tale of a hard working person and if you check, he's doing more than a regular 9-5 job.. you can guess he barely has time to live, or should I say, to enjoy life.
Why should a person work so hard for the community and stop be trash talked?
Well that's not the main point of my write up.
So, a lot of people get so engrossed in their source of livelihood that they begin to forget what life actually should mean.
True happiness or truly living is having the freedom to connect with your passion, your spirituality and your family in the best possible proportion. These are your three essences of being a human.

I guess everyone knows their passion, and hence living life has to do with feeding your passion in the right amount that won't make your spirituality or family suffer.
The second on my list is spirituality. Which has do with your beliefs. The way you connect with your beliefs and how much time you spend connecting should be just enough to allocate time daily for your other 2 essences.
Finally to family. This is not just your immediate biological family. It's extended to friendships and connections you make with others which brings you happiness. This is the engine room of every individual. In steemit, as a Nigerian, your family is related by the #nigeria and you should appreciate the fact that the Curators are doing what they're supposed to do to make the family enjoy.
I believe that while trying to make the family enjoy, the Curators have to also enjoy. They are not bots, they are humans like other Nigerians on this platform.

Do not make them lose the essence of life by making them focus so much on their passion which is to reward the community.
Live and let live.
