Wow this is actually a lesson.

Another thing I learnt from the incidence is that, no matter how much you're worth or how much you have in your bank account, never look down on anybody or think they can not be of help to you.

I've had several experiences like this.

Few months ago I posted stuffs about steemit on Facebook and in my whatsapp group. Many people contacted me with many questions.

The many questions were eating up my time. I knew one of the ways to make money on steemit was to make friends with whales, I constantly kept asking myself

should I continue helping these newbies or ignore them to go find successful people on steemit?

I actually chose not to ignore them. Many of them are successful on steemit now and some even got me nice birthday gift.

It's wrong to look down on people, the person you're looking down on today might be your helper tomorrow.
