Dumbest Kid in the World?

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.”

The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?”

The boy takes the quarters and leaves.
“What did I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!”

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.
“Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”
The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!”

Never Underestimate People, If You Do Prepare for Karma.

Why I Think We Need to be Reminded.

A few years back when @AnaHilarski and I were having a blast on a platform called Google Plus there were a group of so-called social media pro's who thought there was a certain way the platform should be used. At the time there was a huge influx of non English speakers beginning to use the platform. This small group of no it all's thought it was wise to tell the new people that their content was low quality. There were a few of us who insisted that the doors of Google Plus should be open to everyone and they should be treated as equals.

A few years later and those so-called social media pro's are largely non existent on the platform. Their leaders told the pack that the place to be was on Instagram and Snapchat. This is why you do not see me pursuing these people and asking them to join Steemit. Even though they are my peers I know the baggage they come with.

I Like the Approach Our Community Steemit Takes.

This platform is so welcoming to all cultures. I find it amazing the amount of people from places like Latin America, Indonesia and Korea. If we focus on just the English speaking community we might be successful but I believe the international community could easily outpace the English speakers. Steemit is definitely heading down a path that very few websites have ever gone.
