IF SUCCESS IS A MUST, KNOW THIS

The funny and unfair aspect

As a new steemian, you are faced with challenges of not getting upvotes for your beautiful post. Most often, after composing a very beautiful post you get little or no upvotes. Dont worry it happens a lot in life, this is because life is not fair and that is why the rich will continue to get richer since most of them are not generous. But things can change for the poor with diligence and tenacity you will climb the stairway to get to the precipice of the success ladder. There are many big guys on steemit (@hopehuggs @girlsbeforemirror @gangresteem @sndbox @adsactly @stackin @d-pend @anomadsoul @scottdphoto @brittuf @luzcypher) the list is endless, you need their upvotes.
