RE: "Acts Of Kindness Challenge" Entry #1 (200 Words or Less)
This is fantastic @bluelightbandit!!!!
It's a great random act of kindness. Thanks for sharing your story with all of us and the story of the 3 silversmiths who had a hand in forging this piece of art for you. Your gratitude can be felt right through your video.
Well done! Upvoted and following
@rebeccaryan
So cool with the web of connections that come from your article!!
One of these silversmiths(Vulcan5678 and his wife) are good YouTube friends of mine!!
Again, very glad you had this thought, it has been nice reading these stories!!
Thanks for all your great comments @em3! It was great to meet you and @bluelightbandit.
@natureofbeing and myself created this challenge and now we are trying to decide if there could be potentially enough interest and material to run it as a contest of sorts and make it a permanent feature on Steemit.
@rebeccaryan
Hmmmm ...I may be hesitant to run it as a contest, or certainly as a permanent one...there will be the temptation for people to game it and just makeup stories, hoping to win....
I know this is a negative view, but for every one post or acts like yours, there are probably 1-2 posts on Steemit just going for a buck.
An occasional callout is nice, and gives your followers the chance to share or resteem and find others that want to share.
All the best,
Peace!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this @em3. We've identified that we definitely need qualifying criteria around this. We aren't opposed to allowing fictitious stories as long as they are marked as such. Ultimately they create the same feelings but for sure, true stories carry more value. :)
Thank you so much! It really hit home with me because I'm just not used to people being that nice to me. 12 years wearing a badge, you normally don't run across the nicest of people. Every now and then you do, but day in and day out, you're gonna deal with some of the worst. Thank you again!
