I have received two delegations until now (500+50SP). I guess both guys liked my work and delegated. Obviously, I feel lucky that they would trust me to use their assets wisely.

I came to Steemit to make money but eventually realized something different. I now understand that money might be important, but it is secondary to people. It’s better to earn trust and keep it than try to grab money. I am not saying that money is not important because it is, and I can tell because I am the guy who a month ago didn’t even have a roof over his head. What I am trying to say is that money may be important, but people are even more important.

Some are asking for delegation without earning your trust and that just feels rude (not to mention stupid). If you would have said that okay, I am delegating SP so come and introduce yourselves. Then I would have understood them asking you for SP delegation. Hell, I might have been in that line introducing myself. But I don’t understand this random nature of asking for things.

On the other hand, I do admire their courage to go out and ask. But I can’t imagine myself delegating SP to someone who just telegrammed me asked for it…. it seems unreasonable. If they stayed with you for months on end and then asked, then it would have been different but not like this.
