Steemit Ultimate Challenge 8 Weeks
I will be going against one of the most peculiar motives for the creation of steemit which is TRANSPARENCY if i fail to first let the cat out of the bag.
once upon a time of poverty and sufferings, the destiny of a young boy lies in the hands of enormous wealth and the only solution was making quick money.
This was the beginning of my steemit journey started.
LIFE COMMUNICATION
I am not exaggerating if i say steemit was what kept my good heart till today or if I call it The God-sent Saviour . Just a step into been a cyber criminal, steemit found me. I am not mistakened when i said steemit found me rather than me saying i found steemit because while i was at the verge of becoming a menace to the society, I was saved by the steemit community. I have been so dependent on my father to the extent that i could not even work to get a pen for my self except my dad gives me the money. Although my father never complained for once that he was tired of spoon feeding me but he kept giving me this adage which i failed to understand until i almost lost it completely. He will always tell me, "my son, never use the joys of today to judge the certainty of tomorrow's happiness. Remember i will not always be there so you need to become a man of your own". Due to my immatured state, and also the fact that i took life the way it came, I took those words with levity. As life would come with its own bad luck, my dad lost his job and there was just a little to sustain the family. As time went on, nothing was forthcoming any longer and it was at this point i got to realise that life is not always a bed of roses so i started looking for money desperately in order to sustain my self.
Even the steemit community elaborated my father's adage which says "never use the joys of today to judge the certainty of tomorrow's happiness" using a practical approach of the rise and fall of steem.
Note:The high price of steem today does not warrant a continuous high price tomorrow. So be wise and always have a PLAN B
On my first arrival to this platform, i got disappointed with what i met. What i came for was a fast money but it was not even forthcoming in anyway. A normal me will get frustrated and leave the platform but i did not because I picked up some role models when i came in and i used them as a stepping stone in processing my own progress. I try to study them in order to know why they are the best. This platform has given me a better insight of life. In just less than two months that i have been a steemit user, i have gotten the opportunity to learn the following about life;
I have learnt that the sky is way to big for you to complain that you lack space to fly. What ever you know how to do, do it well because there is someone out there that is interested in what you offer.
I got to understand that the Journey of a thousand mile, always begins with a step. A whale was once a minnow. There is no need to rush in life. What will be will be.
Hard work and consistency are the key ingredient to achieving success. I have learnt never to get discouraged.
I have learnt that we stay in a world of trade by barter. It is a give and take world. The more you give to the community, the more you receive and that the fact that you are lighting other people's candle will make yours less brighter.
Although money is said to be the" root of evil" but it just has to be made because money is what makes the world go around. Therefore, money must be made.
If only i came into steemit earlier i would have......
My mindset has been changed. I have learnt to live a life of non regrets. The time is still ticking. It is better late than never. I am so happy that i am now living in the future because
STEEMIT IS THE FUTURE TODAY.

FINANCIAL COMMUNICATION
Although i am not there yet but with time i will be. Ever since i started blogging, my life has been a testimony to both friends and foes. As earlier mentioned, i joined steemit because i was in dire need of money. Life was becoming so unbearable for me. I found it really hard to eat even a square meal in school. I started stabbing class because i did not have transport fare to go to school. The annoying part of it was that i lost all the friends that were with me when i had the money to spend on them. Life became so unbearable. I was almost losing it but steemit came into my life and gave me a once upon a time in a land of poverty story. It came as a big shock to the members of my church when the pastor asked for anybody to donate the sum of 20,000naira ($57) for the propagation of the gospel and i was the first person to volunteer. That was my first time giving to God from my pocket. I could not just express my joy. Steemit has taken me from the platform of beggars into givers. I now assist people that need my help. My family was not left out of it. I was able to sort some of their bills and i also introduced them into the steemit world and they are doing good too. I am becoming a respected person back in school, home and church.
I have learnt that people will only stick to you when you have some thing to offer.
I might not be a rich man yet but i am no longer a poverty strickened church right.
STEEMIT IS THE STEPPING STONE TO RICHES
EDUCATION COMMUNICATION
Although i now live a life of no regret because i feel everything in life happens for a reason but i will never forget the day i was kicked out of the science world all because i could not make good grades. If only my steemit has found me then. Right now, my collegues in class wonder how i was able to come up with the knowledge of things i know within a short span of time. A lecturer of mine was forced to call me to his office after he marked an assignment i did. It was a well detailed,structured and referenced work i gave to him. It was so unusual of me because i was known to be a very lazy student. If it were to be the former me, all i will just do is copy exactly from the net and paste it but now as a steemian,
- I refuse to be part of any form of plagiarism scheme.
- I ensure that anything that comes out from me are facts.
Lo and behold, a once lazy student is now the best friend of his lecturer.
I actually had it in me but steemit helped in awakening the giant in me
Reading my books is no longer a problem for me. All i need do is balance the time i use for steemit and also the time i use for my education. I could remember the words of my dad when he told me "If you know steemit is going to disturb your academics, then you better stop it". I could not afford to trade out my steemit and i could not afford to keep disappointing my dad so i had to formulate my TIME MANAGEMENT SCHEME which is really helping me now. My classmates now relate very well with me because they want to know the secret of my success and i introduced them to steemit too.
My part-time theatre art school where i major on script writing has powered up ever since i joined steemit. I am a script writer but i use to find it really hard in getting a story from my head. Right now, i have gotten inspiration from different stories i have read here and i am now a better person. Thanks to steemit i am now a better student.
STEEMIT IS THE BEDROCK OF EDUCATION
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION
One person that really made me feel i have not taken life serious at all is @ogoowinner on my arrival to this. My kind of person is someone that gets really challenged when I see ladies doing exceptional things that i cannot do. There are so many ladies on this platform that are also doing well but the one am familiar with is @ogoowinner. When she starts giving different approaches on how to invest on crypto currencies, I begin to wonder how come a young lady is this business oriented. I have been introduced into the cryptocurrency world. I had this mindset that except you get involved in illegal things, there is no way you can make a lot of money and become successful but here i am in the evolutionary world where i am taught the act of patience in making money. I have also been able to learn a few skills in risk taking but in a wise way. In fact i think you guys should watch out for me soonest in the business world. Since i got to this platform, i have been able to make more money from my script writing. Unlike before when i was short of stories to write a script but now, i have a lot of them.
STEEMIT GIVES AN UPGRADED BUSINESS MINDSET

SOCIAL COMMUNICATION
I have been on steemit for barely two months now but the friends i have made are already more than the ones have made in the past 21 years of my life. Although i have not met most of them but they have really impacted a lot into my life. Steemit made me cut loose with the friends that were trying to lure me into dirty games in order to get money. This happened because i met with new set of friends with good potentials. They have assisted me in terms of advice, monetary gifts and also in catching fun. I cannot forget the likes of @shungustin @illuminatus @official-hord who have been there for me and have been putting me through the steemit world. Also, @genesisproject has also been of help. I really appreciate the turn around steemit gave me.
In conclusion, I am glad steemit saved me just when all hopes were lost.
