Guess Who Turned into a Dolphin Today?
I ain't a minnow no more ☺️
Ok, this is the third time I've rewritten this first paragraph. I know, I know - you don’t want to be bored with another dolphin post. But just hang on for a few seconds, because this is a big milestone for me.
When I joined the platform, I was totally baffled by the whole club system. I read up on it, got some guidance, and soon learned about Club 100, Club 75, and Club 50. I've been a member of all of them, and now I've landed in Club 50. Then, I stumbled upon the Club Dolphin posts. After some reading, I finally figured out what they were all about. Naturally, I wanted to dive in. I must admit, I'm starting to warm up to this 'club' concept. My husband has been trying to convince me to join a services club in the real world as well... He might wear me down soon. I'll definitely keep you updated on that. But for now, I have to share a little celebratory note with you!
I am a proud member of Dolphin 🐬 Club now.
Thank you everyone for your support!
People who helped me a lot in different ways, starting with chriddi, event-horizon, o1eh, bambuka, weisser-rabe, and almost all of you who voted, engaged, and encouraged me in any way.
The community that supported my growth (the most) is @xpilar's WOX. I am also a member of their 250sp program governed by Bambuka. I just want to ask if my label could be changed to something like "member." I'm not entirely sure how things work in this capacity here ;)
Please let it be an inadvertent mistake on my part if I left out someone's acknowledgment, because I don't mean to. Without every one of my readers, voters, and engagers, I would not have achieved what I have.
This post is incomplete without acknowledging and mentioning @steemchiller's steemworld.org. I would be lost without this tool. I would not have been able to understand the platform in such depth and with such ease without it. A big thank you for this.
Last but not least, a big thank you to the Steemit team. I know I can be a bit too much sometimes. I'm someone who has to speak my mind, and I know I'm a little too impatient at times. But that's who I am. I'm really thankful for your support because your votes (and remarks, although scarce) are a huge motivation for me. They mean that I am being read and acknowledged. I won't tag you, but I can't help mentioning you. Yes, I'm talking about sc01, sc02, and the entire curators team. It would not be fair if I didn't mention @patjewell, who not only curates but also leaves a personal message now and then, which gives me the fuel to write more thoughtful and engaging posts.
If I may offer some perspective and advice for newcomers on this achievement, it would be consistency, determination, respect for your peers, embracing constructive criticism, and staying true to yourself, especially when publishing content and engaging with other users. And the Club Dolphin is just around the corner.
I guess that's it.
Thank you for reading this far.
Yours truly,
Maan
You are a dolphin today mainly because of yourself. If it hadn't been for your consistency, perseverance, and determination to always do more and better, then none of these people would have supported you as they did. It's 99% you.
I always tell Steemians that the first dolphin is the hardest one. You have to work so darn hard to get it. And that is exactly what you have done.
Go back to your blog and take a good look at it. You can be super proud of the work that you've put in, the determination, and yes, the support you have given to the platform.
I hope that this happy dolphin image is going to find a place on your fridge as a reminder to never doubt yourself.
Well done!
And... best wishes for the next, and the next, and the next... 🐬💙✨
Thank you so much for your beautiful remarks.
I am thinking about the fridge magnet. It's a very nice idea to keep me motivated.
I'm so grateful for this comment. 🙏🏻
Pleasure! 🎕
Indeed I did.
See, you really have to be somebody very special, when I open a dolphin post… 😉
Sure, please blush - it looks beautiful… 😁
Really? Must I? Okay:
Congratulations 🎊🎈
…with a little prideful smile 🤗😘🤗
Are you up for a hug? Because I badly want to!
Blush?? I am grinning from ear to ear. I was almost 90 percent sure that you will read it. The other 10 percent bugged me for some 10 minutes before you replied. Thank you for not making me wait so long. The first sentence of the first paragraph was the only bait, I could use... I couldn't dare tagging you. Lol
Thank you so much for everything, and most of all for this beautiful friendship that is so dear to me. I will always cherish our communication. I owe a big thank you to this platform for these treasured friends.

So you were lucky that I just had the mobile in front of my nose... 😂
I have nothing against mentions if something is important.
Meanwhile, your behavior almost borders on blackmail: I have to read your posts - just for fear of missing out on people talking about me.... 🤪
All the best for your application as an sc team member. That would be another step towards gaining a lot of experience. At some point, you will no longer be able to resist posting in the Oasis - otherwise burnout is inevitable... 😉
Only reserved for you 😉
I know. I was just teasing you. I have not tagged at least four other people. I hope they will read at some point 🫢
About Oasis: I just skimmed through the posts, and I am itching to write there sooooon.
And about curation, well I have still 🤞🏻. But thank you for the vote of confidence :)
Don't know exactly if sc-team, dolphin posts, club tags, contests... go ahead with the oasis... 😉
Congratulations @soulfuldreamer WOX Member
I am happy that your journey started in the WOX community, you are a person who enriches the whole community on steemit. Your posts are of very high quality. I have not seen a person like you with such rapid development with being able to understand the platform in such a short time.
You are well liked and it also shows in the comments you receive. 👍
Thank you so much for the new label. It sure feels good 😊
And thank you for making my day with such generous remarks. I hope to stay motivated for as long as possible.
Steem on!
Congratulations on your great achievement! This is the first time I have met such a newcomer, who would so persistently get to know the platform, so sincerely share his own thoughts, so actively and openly interact with other authors. You were like that from the first days. For me, you are not a newbie for a long time, but an author whose posts are a must-read.
Thank you so much for your help and support always. You are such an anchor to this community, and you keep the foundation strong in whatever role you take on here. Thank you for including me in your team and trusting me.
😢
So unfair.
You are the fourth wheel that keeps me from getting lost in the sea of steemverse. Without you, I'd be drifting aimlessly in the wilderness... 😔
If it's any consolation, I made this gif just for you. 🫣
You won't find it anywhere on internet!
Flipper! Do you know "Flipper"? The most enchanting dolphin in film history... Now we have one more enchanting dolphin in Steem history ;-)) Keep up the good work!
Wow... Thank you for such generous remarks. They mean a lot, really!
I just watched the trailer for the movie and I really liked the vibe. Thank you for this happy comparison 😊.
Congratulations name mate, you go girllll🙆
Shukriya, meharbani, humnaam!
The dolphinarium has been enriched with an adorable resident.
Well done, congratulations.
Soon we can think about ... club of killer whales (I don't know if there is such a thing in our nature:)).
I like this term dolphinarium. You are a master of words.
Killer whales... Hmm... Very interesting 😎
We all swim around here somewhere )))
There is at least ONE killer whale, it existed in literature. Moby Dick.
But thats unfair - humans killed much more whales, than whales killed humans.
Ты бы холтел, чтобы было наоборот? ))
Если серьёзно, то люди на планете являются самыми жестокими и жадными хищниками.
В природе хищник убивает по необходимости. Люди могут и для развлечения ...
I'm so sorry, I don't know how I missed your comment.
I love your play on words. Moby Dick - interesting...
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope your remarks are meant to congratulate me 😉
Ah, that cause I commented addressing to bambuka, simple as that.
Well, I used no words play, cause that is the title of American classic novel by Melville. About the hunt of the crazy whaler crew after one powerful white whale. All the words play belong to the author of said novel (btw - a great reading, I recommend it).
All congratulations are sincere.
My bad!
Now I get it 🫣
Of course you replied to bambuka. Lol
So I didn't miss your comment after all!
Wow I am really super happy for you dear friend and I am so sure this is just the beginning. More and more will definitely come in the future. A big congratulations to you
