#Untalented: My Humble Way Of Interpreting And Using This Tag
If you follow my posts for a while, you might have noticed the tag #untalented. It doesn't mean "I don't have talent." It's the opposite!!
Salam (Peace)
One of the most awesome people I follow on steemit is @surpassinggoogle, though I only read few of his posts (don't have time) and interacted with him less, that's why while I wish so, I can't say I'm his friend.
But what I know is that not only he's behind #steemgigs... He also started the #untalented movement on steemit!!
I've been using that tag for a while, and I never thought much of it until two steemit friends (@jrhughes & @authorofthings) asked me about it.
@authorofthings: now I am concerned about that 'untalented' tag? Whatever do you mean by that?
@Jrhughes: didn't see that @authorofthings. @ahmadmanga explain this seemingly terrible tag.
At that time I noticed I don't know much about the tag/movement, and I failed to locate it's announcement post (please someone who have a link, GIVE IT TO ME) but I know one thing... Their motto is:
Attempt out-of-the-boxness on #untalented. "Everyone has something to offer!"
How I See #Untalented Movement On Steemit
Everything has someone to offer and no one is less than any other, I think that means if you write a post be confident in it.
"You Don't Need Talent To Succeed, We Are All Untalented"
So I see #untalented value the posts that are original, and confident... The topics don't matter as much as the person who writes them... I don't see this tag as a topic tag more than a community tag. Even the "Attempt Out-Of-Box-ness" can be interpreted in many ways.
So I think any post that tries something original or new... Any post that shows who you really are even if it wasn't awesome... Any post that shows even #untalented can become a steem whale in the future. Deserves to have its place in that community.
My #Untalented Posts
So, while I don't know if my untalented posts really qualify... I try to stick the tag only to my posts that I think qualify to what I said above. My most original posts or posts that I have spent a lot of time to think of or write.
| Post | Note |
|---|---|
| Fiftywords: Mother's Last Chocolate (Tiny Story) | A story I wrote for fiftywords initiative, I thought it was better than most of my longer stories. |
| SteemitJam: STEEM OCEAN Project Announcement | A Gamedev project I started... thought it deserves this tag. Never finished it yet (like my many other Gamedev projects) I should really stop announcing those |
| Retrogaming x Retropie | I'm proud of this post, as I spent a while trying the Raspberry Pi to work the games. |
| Goodreads Reading Challenge 2018 | Announcing to take a challenge this |
