My Success Story! #steemitultimatechallenge #4 @dobartim

Ever since I joined Steemit in February 2018, my life has been going through many positive adjustments. I have spent a months on Steemit so far and there are a multitude of changes that have occured in me and my life. Most of these changes are good. Some are extraordinary.

Let me share with you those positive impacts that Steemit have done in my life :

Self improvement (self communication)

I Had a Teacher In Me, Steemit Brought It Out!
I was always good at teaching. From the very early days of my teenage. I was always good at understanding things. Analytical ability was abundant. It's called IQ. An example of that I was in grade five when I started learning English—from ABC—but in grade seven my teacher assigned half of the class to me so that I could teach grammar to my classmates.

I started learning what Steemit is and how it works. I leared how its reward system works, how reputation score is calculated and what behaviors and activities are desired and appreciated here.

Then I started teaching people what I had learned. Ninety percent of my work is compiled in form of a complete Steemit guide which was inspired by a contest arranged by @surpassinggoogle. I am always going to learn things one by one and teach it to the community.

I Had a Financially Complicated Life, Not Anymore!
My life since the very start had been difficult. There's so much to it. Losing my mom so early, having no siblings, going through a very difficult childhood and financial contraints have plagued life almost forever. Even after a highly respected government job, the challenges were too big to go away. So, I was literally cornered into tackling one problem at a time. I did not have the resources to do everything at once.

Steemit changed all that. In just seven months. To give you some perspective, I have been saving $5 per month from my wallet in other to get a laptop to go into steemit fulltime.

FINANCIAL FREEDOM (Financial communication)

What does it mean to me? Financial freedom! I know that the current value of my account is nothing compared to what is about to come. I know in my heart that 2018 is the year of Steem; and thus the year of Steemians!

My First Online Dollar
I was intrested in computer and internet since the time I was introduced to them. It was 2009-10 in my early teenage. As I grew up and interacted with more people in my country, I came to know that internet could be used to earn money, and that many people were earning handsome money from internet. It got me intrigued.

I started figuring out things. I started knowing about blogging, freelancing and ad revenues. In 2017, I started focusing on two things; YouTube and blogging. I made my own blog and started learning more about it too. I started doing YouTube as well and learned about it as well. The thing which benefits me, I think, is that I always try to learn first and never stop learning. Same with Steemit.

I didn't do YouTube properly but have done extensive blogging for one year before joining Steemit. But I did not earn anything all that time. But I do have good knowledge and experience in content writing, blogging so it was never a total waste; infact I am thankful for the grinding efforts without earning. But it meant that I had not succeeded in earning my first online income.

Steemit changed that too. You know my situation if you have been following and interacting. I have earned a lot more than the first online dollar.

I was able to get a new phone and hostel accommodation, got a standing fan too and many more.

My new steemit values

Sharp Focus, Unprecedented Consistency!
Let's come out of life and see what Steemit has done to my personal existence and habits. Good habits are necessary to succeed in anything. I have tried doing things in past but somewhere along the way, I used to lose interest. I did not have that deep desire to stay focused.

What changed all that is the habit of reading books and articles from great authors. Internalizing the lessons I have learned from books has made a huge difference in my life and it continues to do so. What Steemit did was to provide a platform where I could exercise my learnings and apply the important knowledge. I have been fairly consistent on Steemit. The focus is there. Life can suck at times and deprive me of my Steemit time. But I hold Steemit valuable in my life for all it has done and all it is going to do for me. I wish to remain consistently focused here.

LIFE COMMUNICATION

Compassion, Empathy, Respect, Benevolance, Patience

The human side of me has received or polished these amazing gifts due to considerable time and activity on Steemit. Most of the people I interact with, support, and help are the people I do not know. People who are unknown as persons but known as humans. I see the humans in them more closely now.

Protecting the human inside is very very important. Steemit is an amazing community to do that.

'Amazing/important life' is the most frequent adjective that I have used since joining the amazing Steemit community.

I try to help people, especially newbies; with or without invitation. I try to understand there problems and solve those problems for them. I talk to people respectfully. I try to spread Steemit love by upvoting comments and posts. The human inside me feels pretty much alive on Steemit.

Conclusion

I really hope that reading through this post encouraged and motivated you. I feel energized after sharing these deeply personal insights. My best hope is that someone will start seeing what Steemit can do and starts learning more about it. The tagline steemitultimatechallenge comes from @dobartim who organized a contest with zero losers. There are too important things the @dobartim contents focus on.

The human in you.

And how that human interacts with Steem blockchain.

I wish you best of luck in life and on Steemit. I believe that Steemit can improve lives and it has improved mine as you can see.
