I joined barely a month ago and have brought in some few persons, whereas, i should bring as many as possible considering the good number of friends i have. Actually among my friends, i select who i talk to about steemit because i wont have someone coming here with the make me rich quick idea then, upon failing go out there to spoil the minds of potential whales. Great piece you have here sir! I love how you express it. I bet i'm writing a story today from this inspiring post. I should title it "school of hard knocks". (my first fiction kikiki)
