Apologies for my recent plagiarism and a rant!
Hello all,
Recently I made a few posts that have been hit for plagiarism. At first I was upset and went on a rant! I have come to realize that despite my best efforts to compile high quality posts I have ended up using and duplicating content from the web. Personally I suck at writing and have suffered from dyslexia all my life. I am currently unemployed and steemit for a full time living and admit and apologize for plagiarism. Ignorance is no excuse I have now officially learnt the hard way.
The posts that I am currently guilty of plagiarism are...
https://steemit.com/herb/@bitminter/diy-herb-and-vegetable-window-farm Here I tried to revive a old site that is no longer online so I don't know how to apologize to the original author. However I was called out for plagiarism because I copied some content word for word out of this review http://newatlas.com/windowsfarms-indoor-farm/20637/
https://steemit.com/survival/@bitminter/ultimate-survival-build-your-own-diy-pocket-sized-survival-kit
The information I shared here is originally posted at http://ultimatesurvivaltips.com/build-your-own-diy-pocket-sized-survival-kit-heres-how/. I have been a hiking enthusiast and survivalist my entire life so I attempted to rewrite and include content as I went along.
https://steemit.com/herb/@bitminter/the-basics-of-growing-and-cooking-herbs-cheat-sheet In this article I used a image I found on pinterest and used it to add extra value to my post. In all honesty I never ever thought this would be a problem but now realize it was a big mistake
I am writing this as A sincere apology to the steemit community and original authors as a plagiarism offender and promise to not to repeat the offense ever again! I am hoping to reclaim my now tarnished steemit account so I can now move forward!
@cheetabot thanks for your understanding much appreciated!
The most valuable victory a man can get is a victory on himself. I am very glad for you, man!
@stranger27 Thank you much appreciated! I want to move forward and better myself , after all my past failures have the potential to be my future opportunities if I choose to see things from the correct perspective.
