An apology, An explanation, An enlightenment to the role guidance plays
An apology
To start with, I would like to apologize to everyone for not providing any witness report this week. I spent the better part of the week trying to evaluate the decisions I make, the roles I play in life, both on steemit and in real life.
I'm sorry
An explanation
In the place where I reside, an apology isn't really supposed to be followed by an explanation, it really isn't supposed to be followed by an excuse more precisely, but in this case, I'm compelled to do so.
Having started a witness report program, I sort to do with an interview segment, showcasing the three "w's"
what makes a witness tick,
why you should vote for a witness
where a certain witness sees the future of steemit as.
Without going too far, my point is, I'm suspending the interview posting till September 10 as per the talk i had with a certain person.
but witness report is note than an interview
Before I forget, these cover pictures from steemit is an awesome feature!
An enlightenment to the role of guidance
I've been studying up as per always, but this time I took time out to study the role of a Senior, a leader, a mentor, I'm still but a boy at my age, I need to grow, I need learn and so far so good I've been grateful for the guidance that individuals like @gbenga @surpassinggoogle have brought into my life.
a mentor, a guider, a leader
Even though I'm yet to interact with certain individuals, the fact that I'm able to get understanding and enlightenment from their posts is enough to be thankful for.
I'm not going to mention their name like many others do though, I feel its now become a way to get them to notice your post rather than pass a message.
I'll instead send a solemn thank you personally to those who I've learnt from on steemit.
I 
please don't do this:(
The zeal to be better
I've always valued quality over quantity, and if it were possible, I would turn over only a few posts per week, as long as they are of good quality.
Onebthing that you coming in to steemit need to realize is that poorly constructed, overtly short and generic posts won't fetch you the kind of connections you need.
I say connections because steemit goes beyond making a few SBD or steem. Those are the things that can be gotten at anytime. Steemit, like every business model is built on the principle of trust and quality.
nobody is going to look at your post if you don't continuously pump out good posts.
It can be stressful at times, butnits worth doing in order to get things moving .
I always encourage people to vote and comment because that's one of the way to build a network on steemit. I am guilty of making this error of cause, but this is due to my difficult schedule.
I have cooled down from being a hothead the first few weeks I was in steemit to being or trying tovbe a productive member of the steemit society.
