Really @khaleelkazi, this was a lot to take in. I couldn't comment the first time I had to sleep then read it again. What a tough bunch you are, am glad I read this story today. Makes me understand you more.

So @khaleelkazi about one unsuccessful endeavor that change the course of my life. Well, there's no really one big trial, my life has been shaped by small small everyday attempt which sometimes have failed. I have been a teacher, screen artist, caterer, attempted navy. I have been involved in lots of business mostly involved in buying food stuff from where they are in abundance to where they are scarce. But December last year, I was involved in a big shipment that went south. I lost a lot of my capital in it that I couldn't go back to business again. But I didn't tell anyone about it, I just smiled and continued on my journey.

So when things became a bit tougher because of on capital, my friend introduced me to Steemit and told me I can rebuild my empire through Steemit. Today is my 23th day here and I am already building that empire. My greatest gain here is that it offers me the platform to use and help people who are living in poverty. I had been there before, I know how it is, so I am putting everything I can to support those who are still below that line. Thank you khaleel for sharing with us today.
