That morning, the cellphone rang and a conversation ensued.

Paijo: "Mom, I have graduated from the College." Paijo said to his mother.
Mother: "O boy, this is great, it's really not in vain you have studied all the time". The mother said when she heard the happy news.

On the same morning, there was a conversation between the child and his father on a trip.

Mukidi: "Dad, have you opened the letter I put on the table ? I want to give a surprise to you," said Ngadimun smoothly.
Father: "You can't be joking, If your Daddy surprised and my heart not strong, do you want me to go to the hospital? Tell me quickly!" Mukidi's father gave his voice. hahaha
Mukidi : "I'm sorry Dad, I want to inform you that I have become an oil company employee" Ngadimun handed a piece of paper which reported that he had been accepted at a large oil company in Indonesia.
Father: "You are great," Father murmured to himself that his hard work in educating his children had been paid off.

The story of mother and child, the story of the father and son above is not the true story, the story of a child who graduated from college because he is smart and the story of a father who is proud because successful in educating his child often occurs in our real life. Consciously or not, we proud of intelligence and success. We can understand and it's natural. However, should you then become arrogant and consider intelligence and hard work as the main determinants of graduation and success? Let's take a moment to answer the question above and let's try to think honestly about what makes you pass the test or succeed in your work.

Preparation and hard work in learning and working are important determinants. We cannot deny it. But is it possible that you study hard without eating, drinking, lighting, buying books, stationery, educational institutions? The answer: Impossible. It's mean, there are other people who are credited with providing all facilities such as food and beverage ingredients produced by farmers, traders, well makers, water purification officers, vehicle makers and so on, they are contributing to your graduation. This also means that success is not spared from the services of electricity company employees, employees of books, paper, stationery, publishing companies, teachers and employees of educational institutions.

Your success now because there is support from transportation facilities to the test place. People also contribute to make a vehicle, make a road, become a driver or an oil fuel company officer also contributes to smoothing your step to the test place safely. Your brother, your neighbour, the people on the street that you passed on the test day, even everyone around you is also determined your success. Why? Because on that day, none of them did a negative act that could make you fail to take the exam.

If counted, around tens or even thousands of people take part in your graduation. All brain intelligence and careful preparation will not make you pass the exam if the trip to the test place has a deadly accident due to a careless driver's action, or there is a bad person who hurt you, robbing you before the exam, and so on. The conclusion is all people contributed here, but it is often forgotten as if we have carried out all the procedures that exist themselves and we determine the graduation of college entrance examinations and get a job.

Is your success in steem blockchain is your own work?

---

We already know that since the beginning of joining Steemit, your reputation is at the level of 25, with capital provided in order to exist in Steemit is 15 SP. The value of Steem Power must be covered by the steemians. That is how a steemian works and earns income in this social media, of course, someone must have a will and ability to upload good posts and then get curations from other users.

Over the time, your reputation continues to improve, you can cover loan capital, some votes you get because of many customers like the content you provide, plus your shrewdness in making transactions for financial transactions in the blockchain world. We can say this is one form of success for someone in this crypto world. However, am I or are you can say that all success is due to your own intelligence, precision and ability alone. I said NO !.

Because after all, the success of a steem blockchain users not separated because of the role of millions of other users. Who created blockchain technology? Not you. Who provides steemit as your current success? Not you. Who curates any content that you provide? Not Only You, but you have other people as curators and voters. How do you make currency into rupiah from SBD, Steem and Steem Power now? Not your father, mother and grandfather, am I right? You need an exchange company for that.

Your success here is not entirely your own success, you are big now because there are steem blockchain users all the world. Likewise, Steem Blockchain won't live until now if the players just me, you and him. For this reason, you don't need to feel arrogant, you don't have to say what fortunately for me, it doesn't deserve to demean the quality of other content, remind him if he's wrong, because we've been in that situation for long time ago.

If God then says to us "If I don't create you, will there is a success, pride, intelligence, money and steemit? You don't have to refute all these questions? so it's not fitting for you to feel arrogant and feel great about your achievements. Conversely, your happiness and your success should be accompanied by gratitude to others who have contributed, express gratitude to the Creator who has given that success.
