RE: Workless wealth and working at Steemit for the future

in #steemit6 years ago

Somehow I have come to appreciate the difficulty in earning much from Steemit because it will teach people that nothing is free in life. I have invited lots of people here in the last two months that I have been here, sometimes having to pay for account creation for some. But surprisingly less than 10% of the over 50 people do have the stamina to continue here. I think most people have come to believe so much in what you called wordless wealth that even if you offer them raw gold, very few would stand by the fire to refine it. That's what we have come to in today's world.

I remember when I came here few weeks back, I knew I don't have the grace to make lots of post like you do and didn't have the financial strength to buy lots of Steempower, so I focus on the one thing I knew how to do well - engagements through commenting. For the first five weeks I rarely sleep more than four hours in a 24hour period. Something have to be sacrificed, so I sacrificed and am glad I did.

We all know the we are entering into the age of abundance, but how many will be prepared to grab what is offered.

The worry I have about encouraging people, especially children, to follow their dreams is that their dreams are often to do very little.

The communities contribute a lot to this. Most religious institutions preach too much about grace and favour that it will be difficult for believers to believe in the concept of work. I only hope many gets to read this post and maybe give it some thoughts.

Baby just woke up but... very quickly

Most religious institutions preach too much about grace and favour that it will be difficult for believers to believe in the concept of work.

Ever thought why? It puts the idea of receiving grace and favour in others hands and then they say, here, I can grant you access. It is a power play.
