The challenge is basically about answering 5 questions about yourself and Steem so here are the questions and my answers to them.

1. In my opinion, what are the two greatest aspects of the STEEM platform?

There are a lot of people aspects of STEEM that I absolutely love but if I have to chose my top two then the First will be the fact that STEEM is giving out opportunities to the people to express themselves without worrying about Censorship or other issues.

Secondly I just love that I can make some Money by writing articles about anything and everything. Although I haven't cashed out anything from Steemit in about an Year, I do believe the payouts are a huge inventive for people writing good articles and expressing themselves as who they are.

2. What are the 2 largest complaints I have concerning the Steem platform?

The first one is pretty easy for me to chose, I believe there are several good writers here on Steemit that are still not getting the proper spotlight they deserve as for some reason they are never seen in any high paid posts. There are many guilds that try to find out such posts but I feel there should be a dedicated team from Steemit searching for such contents.

Secondly, I hate Flag Wars. Part of me is actually scared of getting dragged into a meaningless Flag war and part of me just wonders why even go through such flags. Just discuss things over.

3. What 2 moments are the most memorable to me?

Once again my first choice for this is pretty clear. It was about a month or two after I joined Steemit and I was barely getting a Dollar a week. That is when I got hit by a whale. I remember the title of the Post was The Biryani Story in which I laid down the recipe of making a proper Biryani in your Home. I got a 60 USD Upvote from @blocktrades. That was just exhilarating for me plus it was reassurance that things like this do happen on Steemit where whales do Upvote others posts.

I don't remember when but I did start a Post Promotion Thread for Minnows as a means of me giving out something to others and I feel very proud that even though I have given small bits of Upvotes there are people who have been constantly posting content just because they know that there is one Upvote coming from me to their post if they post good content.

4. What are the two most important lessons I've learned in my time as a Steemian?

First and foremost will be that you should never Plagiarise content from others as sooner or later you will get nabbed.

Keep on the good work and sooner than later you will find some success on Steemit. It's just a matter of having patience.

5. Out of my entire time here, what 2 posts am I most proud of?

So I have written over 8000+ posts and it is very hard to remember which one I am most proud about but there are two posts that I know that I am write happy with.

I usually write posts with a range of 100-250 words max limit as I feel there are a certain percentile of people that just get scared from the sheer number of words in a post. The only exception I made was a post titled Introduction to Botany in which I wrote in detail about what Botany is and why it matters. It was way over 1000+ words so that was one Post I am quite happy that I wrote.

The second post would be My Breakup Story in which I wrote about the scenes that led to the Breakup of a 10 year old relationship and how I fell in Depression due to that.

I hope I have done justice to the Challenge.
