Hello Everyone!

So it's been three full months since I joined this auspicious community.
Even though it did not seem like much at first, but now? The evidence speak for themselves and are obviously undeniable.
Three months of learning, un-learning and re-learning, eventually becoming more productive and effective in daily living ( the mind therapy alone is a huge gain)
Some of the lessons I've learnt I think might help upcoming minnows like myself are highlited below.

My Lessons so far

Steemit is a team oriented platform:

As a minnow, thriving would have been next to impossible without identifying with a local community.
The team spirit in steemit is quite exceptional,
I practically witnessed the days of little beginnings grow to what is now an envy to many. Team playing is key to thriving in steemit.

Commenting

The merits of comments on blogs cannot be over emphasized, a good way to register you're presence in this ever expanding community is through such pro-activity. Young steemians like myself should unmute.( creative comment works like a charm)

Quality/Originality pays:

prior to steemit, I didn't see the need to spend time on how to and what to blog about, even though great potentials were resident within. By following a simple set of rules and being as original as possible (no need for unnecessary hype or grammar), the votes comes naturally.

Patience is key:

This awesome platform steemit is not a "get rich quick scheme" earnings come as we learn, learning requires a level of patience and commitment so deal with the "millionaire overnight syndrome".

Steemit is not for everybody:

this may come as a shocker for some, but it sure is the reality of life. Success is desirable but comes at a price, the price many a man cannot pay.

Steemit is dynamic...
Seemit has more.

2017 in retrospect

Even with a rough start in January for me, this year turned out just fine (it had to).

*Same year where nature thundered in anger and gulped many lives via hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, landslides, and so on.

*Same year where the threat to peace was at an all time high, our very existence was put to the test.

*Same year where "bad news" was the order of the day,

*Same year... We survived, milestones were marked, success was achieved and wealth was made.

So finally at the hub today (30-12-017)

We're are glad and enthused as will ever be!
Hanging out with Rabbi @ejemia, Boss @destinysaid and my eSTEEMed fellas @francistagbo & @ winarobert I just know

tomorrow holds water, and it's sure gonna RAIN!

Because, even wit a less than 100% health status, Rabbi @ejemia 😀 ensured we had a fully operational hub today @stach and it was lit!
Watch out for our music vedio on @stach updates.

in conclusion

*Steem (crypto) is the future, every wise investor knows.
*You are your limit, self improvement is key.
*In our world where presumption and prejudice comes easy, personal investigation is the way forward.
*The wealth is the man, acquire him.

HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance!
