I feel really related to this post, love the metaphor. Step by step, with patience, steemit gives you the opportunity to build something awesome here. The beginnings are really hard when you put so much work in your posts and nobody reads them...but you have to believe and have a strong why to keep on going.

People who think that they can live from steemit in a short period of time just spamming all over the place are simply nuts. The good part is that they realize sooner or later that that strategy won't get them far. Thanks for sharing @bdmomuae, it's important to bring awareness to new users about the spirit of this community ;)
