Hello friends, my name is Wilmer Hernandez, I am from the most beautiful lands of South America, Venezuela is my country, where is the highest waterfall in the world (El Salto Angel), we have a very varied climate, coastal towns, the cold of the Andes, an immense Andean mountain range, the Guayana region with its torrential rivers, and the vast plains region where I live.

Venezuelan Plains

Since childhood I was passionate about numbers, logic, a characteristic that I have is to be analytical in everything I do, and I always like to solve puzzles, mysteries or any problem, that is why I decided to study engineering as my profession, my specialization is the telecommunications area, be it telephony, radio, networks and optical fiber, all that is my field of work.

In view of the hard situation that my country is going through, where the average salary dropped in less than 3 years from 300 dollars a month to less than 5 dollars, it has caused many, professionals and people, to emigrate to different parts of the world looking for a better quality of life, looking for opportunities that allow you to obtain a source of income for your sustenance, and I do not blame them, anyone just looking around would make the decision to leave, a decision that I have particularly delayed in recent years just for not daring to say maybe a last goodbye to my relatives, because it is uncertain if we would see each other again in the future.

For all those who decided to stay in this country, we had to venture into different tasks to survive. We have had to be, not only study professionals, but to become professional workers, where we have saved our degrees and masters, to venture into other aspects that nowadays in our country are better remunerated. It is incredible that in our country a person who only dedicates himself to sell cheeses, or have a small spot of selling only coffees has more income than any professional; Equally contradictory in our country, the professions of police, teacher and doctor are less rewarded than those of a soldier, so the situation has overwhelmed the creativity and sense of survival of the Venezuelan.

I have practice my profession for 10 years and then in the past year, I saw myself obliged to leave my job, for a number of factors, a harassing boss, the obligation to belong to a political party, the deplorable remuneration, in addition, of the time I stopped sharing with my family and the work obligations that were robbing my life. Yes, I tell you, "life" because spending so much time working and working more than 12 hours a day plus weekends to only earn $ 5 a month is not life, you're just a being full of stress and problems, it's because I decided to open my vision, look for new projects and better ways to earn a living, and that's how I heard about the ways of making money through the Internet, cryptocurrencies, marketing networks, among others.

After starting to make money online I felt the freedom, the tranquility that not only could I provide for my home, but I could have peace of mind to stop surviving and start living, feel the joy that my time has not It belonged to nobody, that I could exercise it myself in the way I wanted, that is well-being. At the beginning I made an investment in cryptocurrencies and trading, after hours and hours of study, after a lot of analysis day after day, after working with the news that was harmful to the market and finally dealing with getting caught in some investments, I realized that this work is very little by little, it is a constant work, and it can not be something that gives you daily income to solve, the main problems of the family, food, health, roof and dress, so the trading is a business in the long run, where yourself can not manipulate the circumstances and only or you ride the uptrend or the bearish trend, so you have to be patient if the unexpected happens.

And the unexpected happened, in the middle of all this circumstance I found myself in a desperate moment because I was caught in an investment and the market went down in the month of January, all my investments in the floor, more than 50% of everything My capital in the lower very underground, I could not even look at the bloodbath in the tradingview charts, so I was moved by the worry and the fact that it was not anything that was at stake. It was the investment not only mine but the sustenance of my 3 children and my wife.

All those days of low in the market there was not much to do, I just hoped to endure and expect a rebound of the coins, it was in these circumstances that I found myself talking with my friend @j3cesar on the cryptocurrency market and he told me that thanks to God that the trading was his plan B and that his main investment and in which he put more time and dedication, more than money, was in working in Steemit.

So we talked about Steemit, he told me about his great advantages, so at first sight he did not believe it, until he showed me his earnings and how he was turn on Steemit to be able not only to support his family but also to make investments in trading The first thing I thought was to create an account and along the way I saw what I should learn, they told me that this was like a social network, but I think it is more than that, in it I study and study, and every day I learn more Curations, votes, interfaces, witnesses, rewards, steem, steempower, applications, and more ... they are so many things that definitely in this place does not give boredom, it is a constant interaction with thousands of people around the world, with that you share common interests and with which you can even help others, is a gigantic learning community, where simply doing what you do best can also receive a remuneration.

Steemit is without a doubt my favorite place, there are so many interesting things, contests, projects, videos, and all, absolutely everyone, are in the same, learning and enjoying. Trading and conventional work, could give me a lot of experience and good resources to apply in my life, but without a doubt Steemit is becoming my day to day.

I see my goals closer and closer, every effort in a post I do, every participation I make, I know that every day, step by step, I will see their performance, this is a conscientious work of a little bit, that only persevering people reach it and where you can not surrender, I have seen how there are people who, although they do not have steem power, have quality content, I have seen many strategies and each of them I value them as long as they are honest. I particularly believe that this is the best contest I've seen since I've been on the platform, anyone who wins is blessed by the hand of God and the disinterest of @dobartim created this, because it exceeds any contest offered throughout the network, the prize is very very lucrative. I think the highest vote they have given me in others post has been like $ 3 for one upvote in a good post, and I think I would have to do only the minimum amount of 30 good post to reach $ 100 and make 90 post to get to about $ 1000, however, win or not in Steemit I started to stay for long time, and I do not think there is a better job in the network than this where everyone, even us little ones have the opportunity to improve.

Among my plans for Steemit is to stop making it so personal, I think you have to dedicate time and knowledge to be a multiplier of what is learned, give people the hope that if they can continue fighting and have a better quality of life, to teach people that there is a project that although it is different and at first you do not understand it, you can find the clear path to new horizons. My project is to organize myself together with other steemians to create a mega community in Latin America especially from countries that are very hard hit like Venezuela, to bring photographers, engineers, musicians, journalists, doctors, craftsmen, programmers and housewives, who today are unmotivated, I would like to give the opportunity to all those who can and want to overcome themselves, overcome the circumstances, be entrepreneur, for all of them Steemit awaits them. This platform has caused a boom in countries that today have serious financial problems, has brought joy to many homes, has returned dreams and hopes, in particular for my life and that of my family has become a gift of God.

I have 3 children, two boys and one girl, who are my motor to fight in life and make an effort, and now I have a job, a job in Steemit, where I can be my own boss, be at home and live from it.

Thanks to what I have learned in this community, I now have a more effective way to get ahead and keep fighting for mine and doing something for this country. From Steemit I do not have a moving story to tell, but I have one of gratitude, thanks to the curators, to all the users that make life on this platform today, many can make their dreams come true.
