Hi @awesomianist ;)

I would like to nominate @benjojo for this comment

Thank you, I'm touched. I am also very happy to know that human beings like me exist the world over. The amount of giving in the world even today is astonishing. The trouble is, we've never had the ability to just give, directly and simply. I fully expect the amount of giving on platforms like steemit to explode and in so doing, connect and unify us in new and deeper ways. I can think of nothing more important or personally rewarding....to be a small part of that is a great honour.

Here is the link to the comment

I would like to nominate this comment from @frostyamber, which mentions how warmly she was welcomed by the steemit community:

"I don't think its ever too late to welcome someone. :D

Everyone likes feeling welcome and I can honestly say that so far, every single person, that I've "spoken" to on steemit has been very kind, patient with my questions and welcoming. :D"

Thank you very much for the nomination @puffin, it is very sweet of you. :D

ahh, yes. Did you get anything out from it?

Yes I won a prize, not sure what place prize but it was lovely to win. :D

That is great. I am glad you did. I want you to feel welcome on this platform :). Feel free to join and throw comments into this contest yourself. I would be very happy, if you could pick one of mine ;).

I certainly will. Just have to pick the perfect post so you win too. :D

Great to hear .. I mean read ;)

LOL, it has to be a comment you said in the last 24 hours right, just trying to find one that's in the right time frame.

Good point..thanks for sharing

@awesomianist so glad that you are taking over this contest. Good luck and congratulations.

I would like to nominate this comment from @siersod he says the best advice he has ever gotten:

 “Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away”

Good post @awsomianist..my nominee for comment of the day goes to @teamsteem ..see linkhttps://steemit.com/joy/@teamsteem/some-steem-tips-for-some-steem-success he gave a very clear, well thought and succinct comment to Krisnavohra question: why crypto is not yet peoples first choice...his answer is : "Government are the one creating the regulation. Governments are MAFIA. Government aren't a good thing. There's more on this in my writings. Thank you for your input though".
I agree with his comments beacuse Governments are the reason why Blockchain technology is triving and Bitcoin , Monero and subsequently Steem will take over the world.

For some reasons I hadn't realized you nominated me. Thank you! I know you said you would be for some reasons I didn't saw the notification mentioning my name here.

Great @teamsteem .I absolutely appreciate your good work here. Its because of people like you and your team that makes steemit great and give new members like me the feeling of being in a good network. I am bullish about steem , fired up and ready to go. Following you and hope we stay in contact.

Hello @awesomianist , I would like to nominate @edje for his comment:

Inspiring topic and post you've created. I was for some part of my life also risk avoiding. Postpone buying a house, stay longer with my employers than good for me. A couple of years ago I changed my career completely, took the opportunity to let myself go with a package and started a self employment life. Very exiting, but also scary. I manage my fears by thinking positive, not looking back at my decision, take it as it comes. Last years I had my ups and downs, but I love my freedom I created. I can enjoy longer vacations, can decide to sleep in on weekdays and so on. At times when things get rough, I try to look for solutions and most of the time there are solutions, maybe not always those you like, but hey, nothing is always 100% sunny. Of course I still have my fears, but so far I'm able to manage them providing me overall a better life than before the change from being an employee to be self employed.
