RE: My 20000 Steem Power Acceptance Speech
"I'm a car, travelling along, one of many. Without us, these roads are useless." Very well said ! This is the core of Steemit, recognizing this fact is the key, and I hope it won't deviate too much from this philosophy.
Congratulations on the 20 K SP, it's an awesome feat to say the least and a great inspiration to all joining Steemians ! You also didn't have instant success, that's very important to realize. It might sound magical to get paid for blogging but it's a lot of work to get the ball rolling !
Thanks a lot... and that's right too: This did not happen over night. I didn't show up with money to flash around or thousands of followers from another network. What's behind me truly was some of the hardest work I've ever done in my life. ...and I grew up on a farm.
Haha I believe you. I had to put in so many hours of work to get just a little bit of traction. The work has to continue. I find a little time without being interactive and you fall behind quickly. That's why it's important that you love what you do otherwise it will be hard to last in the long run
I was away for five months. I quietly left, didn't say a word. Then I showed up and surprised everyone. I didn't know what to expect. I thought I'd be starting all over again. I was wrong. These people, they had my back. I couldn't believe my eyes, but it was real. I was able to pick up right where I left off. I'm still impressed with everyone and my level of respect for them shot straight through the roof. I'll never forget it.
I also like to surround myself more with the loyal types, instead of playing the popularity contest. If you only concern yourself with money on her you will burn out quickly
