2 Weeks ago i discovered a new ocean, An ocean that if you are reading this then you have discovered too. That ocean is Steemit.

So what have i learnt?
A lot but not very much and what i mean by that is simple, I now know that a minnow is a beginner and whale is the oceans giants that carry a lot of weight and power (influence).
So how can we grow to be a whale?
just be yourself and share with the world
You get out of life what you put in and Steemit is just that.
The more input and support you put into yourself and others the more influential you will become. for eg:
2 weeks ago i made my first post using the tag #introduceyourself, which is where i suggest everyone to start. That post got only 4 upvotes (likes) but took me about 1 hour to write total reward $0.00. Anyone could become disheartened and give up at this point but don't
This is just a drop in the ocean as what i realised is i had not read other peoples post myself so i weren't giving any back myself. That's when i decided to treat others how i wish to be treated and i started looking through the seaweed and rocks that was others posts. It was then i realised how beautiful the Steemit ocean was and i started to follow others to deeper depths.

This lead to followers of my own. Then i realised i don't need to be a whale, i can be ME and if the ocean wants me, the ocean will show me the way. so i posted again and i commented and upvoted and eventually my reputation started to grow.

My first Reward
So after week 1 i started to venture into more unknowns and looked at my wallet and reward pages and low and behold i had been payed for upvoting a post i thought wow. i totally did not expect to see anything but there it was now nestled in my wallet. This boosted me up and made me believe i was going to be a millionaire one day.

Yes we all want that one post that will send us into the crypto stratosphere and maybe one day we will but we have to be patient and put in the effort. Like they say in field of dreams "If you build it, they will come".
That for me is the golden rule and that is what i hope my blogs will do. Even as i write this i'm believing this will be the one but know that it will probably sink to bottom of steemit ocean.
BUT if i keep following and supporting and sharing the oceans wonders, then the ocean will do the same for me and that is what i intended to do.

So hear i go my swimming through the huge ocean and sharing my discovery's along the way.
