From Colleagues to Steemians

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Finally I got some new Steemians from work! These are my colleagues and my best buddies from work. It's been five months now and I have been talking about Steem to my buddies during lunch time and break. I have been trying to get them on board by explaining to them how Steemit works. Talking about social media and crypto currencies and how they work. They always tell that they don't have enough time to spend, photography is not my thing, blogging is hard, I can't think of anything. I told them that it is not about that, it is about everything under the sun, the moon and the stars. It is about life and it can be what you want it to be. Share anything about your passions, your goals, your vision and dreams as said by Terry.

We always wait for each other before we take our lunch and when we send a chat message "Let's Go!" of we go to the cafeteria. Food in our cafeteria sucks big time if I may say and the previous concessionaire sucked as well. We could go out for lunch but it would eat up a lot of our lunch time. Work is hard and sometimes frustrating but as dads we face anything they throw at us. At this time we are able to breathe we bond together to talk about life. We often avoid topics about work and try to relax.

Let me introduce Karlo aka @kofspades

He has been with us for some time now but still finding his rhythm in Steemit. What can I say about Karlo? He is a business minded guy and grabs on opportunity when he sees one. I would say he is very good at it. From selling dried mangoes, basket ball ending (I would let him talk to you about it), selling Casio Gshock watches he knows how to handle money and provide for the family. I salute him for that. I told him to showcase his passion, what he loves and try to focus on that. Did I mention this guy can move? He is an awesome dancer. I'm always pushing him to upload a new video and share with us here on Steemit. Maybe share a dance tutorial perhaps as he taught his moves to a lot of kids. Dance your way thru Steemit brotha!

This guy is Jay aka @beatenegg

I'm not sure how he thought about his user name and what he is trying to imply lol. What can I say Jay is a great and funny guy. We talk a lot of personal stuff and also he is the hardest one to convince to join Steemit. I get to hitch a ride with him after work and I never stopped talking about Steem on our way home. Sometimes I feel he was already getting tired about me talking about Steemit. He is a great family oriented guy and has a lot to share he might not even know yet. What convinced this guy to finally join in? I treated him for lunch with earnings from Steemit lol. He realized that it is a way of life. This guy has a lot to offer better watch out for him.

Finally we have Ben aka @bndr1021

Also Ben has been hanging around for quite sometime now. He is a good photographer and also the reason why I went for Mirrorless Camera. I have been pushing him to create some content somehow he cannot find the drive yet. As a photographer he has a lot to share. He has great ideas and the most hilarious sarcastic remarks. He loves movies and music and plays the guitar. Look at this guy with a lot to share maybe he just needs more push. Looking forward to his new post or Introduction post perhaps.

If I succeed I want my buddies with me. I always tell them never to give up as there are ups and down and the road ahead is not easy. It is not overnight you just need to enjoy what you are doing and the rest would follow. These are my best buddies from work and certified Steemians. Please visit them and have a look of what they have to share. Cheers!
