Achievement 1:my introduction post to steemit @onyesoh

***Introduction ***
Greetings to the whole steemit citizenry! I started my introduction with a quote because I believe it applies to everyone here in the steemit community. . . and that, of course, includes me. But before I explain what it means for all steemians I would like to introduce myself first.

I am onyesoh Kingsley . i live at ojike lane, i form Anambra state, i am my fathers first son, my hobby is dance my favorite food is egusi soup with fufu. We are 7 in number in my family 2 boys and 3 girls and my mom and dad. I joined steemit to use it as an outlet to release my thoughts. I'm a reserved person, an introvert and a man of few words as you will notice in my future posts. I don't want to waste time with lengthy introductions and use a lot of unnecessary words. I want to go right away to an article's substance. I also joined steemit to GEL. And if by gelling means to get along and settle well with others then yes, but the reason why I capitalized each letter of the word is because it stands up to three different things.

G means to GIVE. From our early education we learned that man is a social being and as such we cannot live without interaction. It is precisely because of the need for interaction that relationships and communities are formed. Being a member of a community means you are expected and must be able to reciprocate, in whatever way, the benefits you get from the society you are in. Thus, it is imperative that I give something in exchange for the benefit and privilege of being accepted into this community. Logically, the question that needs to be asked is, "What do you intend to give?" The answer to that starts with the second letter of the GEL acronym.

E stands for EDUCATION. It is my belief that I can help educate members of the steemit community with the posts I will be sharing. As a child, my parents taught me the value of education and as an adult I realized the value of "continuous education" because, clichè as it may sound, life never stops teaching so one has to ever keep learning and whatever I know and learn, I want to share it here. But what kind of information do I have that would benefit everyone?

I do a lot of things and my interests vary but what I concentrate most upon are topics about health, finances, and technology. It is in these areas that I believe I can contribute to educate steemit members. I am also a budding online entrepreneur so I may post topics related to online entrepreneurship and internet marketing once in a while. However, I would like to note this early that I WILL NOT BE PROMOTING any products. My email gets bombarded with a lot of promotions and emails from affiliate marketers all day so I know exactly what it feels like to be sold to. Plus, I know that kind of activity is prohibited here so you guys can expect no promotional stuff or any kind of marketing whatsoever. With that being said, I now come to the last letter of the acronym GEL.

L stands for LEARNING. Before getting my membership into this community, I have read and viewed content from other steemit members and I could say there are a lot of things that I will learn from many of the members here. I remember a professor of mine who once said, "If there is any vice you would contract, let it be the vice of learning." What's more, in the entrepreneurship world, there's a saying that "Learners are Earners." Thus, I'm excited to learn from you guys because I may be able to use the information and translate it into an entrepreneurial activity in the future.

Finally, I need to explain the quote in my introduction and how it relates to everyone here on steemit. Ships must not remain docked but it must travel across the ocean or sea to get the valuable contents it carries to other lands where these can be used for various purposes. I compare the knowledge stored by every steemian as ships and the harbour represents the mind and/or the heart. Like the ocean or sea, steemit acts as the channel through which information gets across to other people who can, in turn, use it for their purposes. Steemit's homepage says our voices are worth something and I believe that something doesn't just refer to monetary rewards but inspiration and edification of those who read what we have to say.
