Thank You!

A year and counting, 500+ followers, 60 steemit reputation, 1000 posts and a lot of blessings have passed- I think it's more than enough for me, but the contribution, the motovation, learnings and inspiration and the help I want to share to others will never be enough. I will always find ways to uplift my goals into higher level, not just for myself but for the people I am with.

A gift to all Steemians

I am always been the silent one but the sound of my support echoes on every corner of the earth

My journey as a steemian started when I finally put myself, venturing in the worlf of cryptocurrency. Investing here and there and knowing the importance of having the right financial information and affordable solutions that we can apply for the improvement of our own lives. I also found out that my family and friends and their families needed to know the same information.

As time passes, I saw steemit as a platform of truth and knowledge. I learn a lot of things, a lot of things. Then I looked forward on steemit for the future-Steemit will be the way to motivate one another.

I am seeing this in our community, a community of young steemians.

Community is the key to succeed in steemit. And just recently, the 4th University Campaign organized by @jassennessaj and company concluded. With special appearance of @purepinay, sponsoring some stuffs for the event and a solid support from University Engineers--the campaign was truly amazing. These pictures will be the reflection:

There's a saying, "Plant what you want to harvest"

If you want to harvest apples, plant apple trees. However, if you want to harvest knowledge then learn to plant knowledge. That's how steemit works!

I want to inspire you to become your own educator. When you are equipped with knowledge no one can offer you complicated and undervalued things.

I have these few tips on how to apply what you've learned as a steemian.

1. Increase your capacity and capability. Share as much as you can, while you can. In return you will received more than what you have given and shared.

2. Zero out negativities. Negativities are like leaks that drain your positivity. Don't let negativities break you!

3. Understand how steemit works. Read a lot and curate a lot. You're not just learning, you're rewarding and being rewarded.

4. Define your goals. You can write them and read them everyday. And set strategies on how to work on your goals.

5. Protect yourself. Don't do it if it's not good, simple!

6. And lastly, build your empire, gather supporters, inspire them and support them in return.

We are mining with our minds

Yes we are mining with our minds and that is STEEM!

• S•kills
• T•echniques
• E•xperiences
• E•quality
• M•erits

That's what I think we're mining of. You might not know but you already mining these things and have these already in ourselves.

Skills. Things you are good at or your expertise if life. Are you a designer? a novelist? a poet? a writer? etc.? if not, you are already mining these things in steemit. Slowly you are posessing these kind of skills. Or if you already possessed these skills, mining more means improving more. Not just that, sharing your skills or expertise in steemit makes all steemians miners as well.

Techniques. A scientifical procedure in carrying out tasks for faster performance and excellent outcomes. How do you take good pictures? How do you write inspiring essays? How do you cook delicious dishes? These are just some of those cool techniques you can mine in steemit. Techniques are skillfull way in achieving something.

Experiences. This is a broad thing. We all have different experiences, personal or not before steemit came into our lives. But experiencing steemit is surely a thing we will never regret and will always be memorable for the rest of our lives. Who would have thought that you will be that important to other and being noticed by almost all steemians? Who's not okay with steemit giving you incentives thru your contribution? Who's not happy for having good friends, connections and relationships with other steemians? These are some of those experiences you can mine in steemit. Healthy experiences.

Equality. We are all mining equality in steemit. Aren't you want to be accepted in a community? We all do right? Equality of rights, status and opportunitues. Because steemit is a decentralized platform, it promotes equality of all users regardless of his/her religion, race, gender and preferences. It is an expression of the fact that two or more things are in equal state. Investors=non-investors=human being.

Merits. I chose the word merits than money because I think they have differences though they can be both related to "rewards". Steemit rewards, but what is this reward? It's not money for sure! Money can be given without the service being done. Like for example a beggar. While on the other side, merits is a reward of worthiness. A particularly good person being praise because of his/her contribution on a certain thing. Merit can be in any form of reward, it can be money too or a simple thank you.

What have you mined so far in steemit? Don't hesitate to share.
