First Post - New Member: Because Steemit is glowing with Power
My salutations and felicitations to the members of this community. May you all welcome me here with warmth. I knew about the Steemit community in my journey in the cryptocurrency world. During my engagements in bitcoin cloud-mining and altcoin trading, I stumbled upon this great platform where they said that members are paid by writing and by curating.
A few years ago, I wrote for a website called bubblews and took the name Spear of Ink, during those times, money was easy. At high rates of 0.01$ per view, like and comment. But as predicted that website did not last long. It wasn’t sustainable, and I suspect that the change of management was a huge factor in the platform’s fall. The spear of ink was a kingdom, a virtual medieval manifestation of a writer’s passion and creativity. Troops were sent to post comments, scribes to write articles and I post commentaries on the political happenings on the website as the leader of that medieval kingdom. So that’s how I wrote there.
My memories of that platform encouraged me to join this great community. Plus the fact that it is embraced in a cryptocurrency called Steem. So I am here and would like to be one of the steemians. The profitability attracted me but more than profits, I sensed a large amount of magic and knowledge within the platform. So, I come as The Mage of Thoughts.
Despite the mystical sound of my username, I am medical student currently on my clinical clerkship now and is planning to be a Psychiatrists someday or a Family and Community and Medicine Specialist. I have interest on all the topics that human thoughts can reach, all the products of the human mind. Thus, “Mage”. My skill set would range from general medical knowledge, magic, hypnotherapy, poetry, chess up to martial arts. I just hope I have the time to write about them and share my knowledge with the steemit community. I might as well include philosophy and logic although I am not technically adept on those and will approach those topics in a literary way.
I am currently a medicine student and is rotating on a rural area several kilometers away from the city when I decided to write my first post in Steemit. We were visiting hospice care patients and I had a free time to post for this photo - we had to walk long stretches of rural terrain.
May this quest of knowledge that I tread lead me to where I really want to be and place me where I want to be at. I hope to bring hope to those who are sick and empowerment to those who feel weak. May fate and time allow me to visit this platform frequently and I am looking for ward to meet new people and have new friends.

STOPCongratulations! Your introduction post has been selected for my special manual curation today!
It has received an upvote, and a resteem to help give you a boost. I'm following you now, too!
My curation focus is on fairly new Steemit users who don't speak English as a first or primary language, but who are writing and posting in English.
I search new posts in the #introducemyself and #introduceyourself tags daily, and try to dedicate at least 50% of my article curation to new Steemit members who meet the above focus criteria. My goal is to discover and curate an average of 5 new Steemit users per day.
I follow each person I curate because it is very encouraging for a new member to see their following grow.
25% of my daily curation is dedicated to upvoting, resteeming and commenting on new articles posted by the Steemit users I am following. If you have written an article that you think is particularly good, you can direct message me a link to it in Steemit.chat (look at the bottom of the Steemit menu for the chat link.)
I also curate comments from all Steemit users. I look to reward comments and replies which stand out as having thoughtful insight, offer benefit to the community at large and reflect the unique personality of the commenter.
I aim to keep my voting strength between 90-100%, and give a 100% upvote whenever possible, voting 10-15 times per day.
I’m calling the @originalworks bot to verify this article for you. Every time you write an original article you should call the bot. It is a great bot service that boosts your article for free.
@originalworks also hosts a weekly writing contest, so follow @originalworks if you are interested in practicing your writing skill, and possibly earning some extra Steem.
You will be a welcome addition to the world of Steemit, @mageofthoughts! You bring a unique background. I'm really looking forward to reading more of your work here! Cheers!

My great thanks for these essential information. I will lookup this "curation" so that I may do the same. I am still familiazing myself with the environment. I am glad to meet you here @mitneb more power to you.
You are very welcome, @mageofthoughts! There are a lot of new things to learn about how Steemit works, but with just a little reading and research you can get the hang of it. I have just decided to focus more on discovering and encouraging a narrow sector of users than on creating my own posts. I still do write articles, but not many compared to most users. I do a lot of interacting with people, too. I settled on this after being on Steemit for a couple of months. Cheers!
Time is one thing I lack but I will make it up with posting content. Thank you very much for sharing these necessary information to a new commer like me. More power to you.
I think that with your line of work and activities you will have a lot of interesting things to write about, and that will be a great way for you to prosper on Steemit, @mageofthoughts! Cheers!
Welcome to steemit mageofthoughts I wish you success and a fun time here.
