Showcase Sunday: Another brick in the wall...or maybe not??
The moment @dan and @ned launched Steem blockchain, was the moment that history was about to be made but nobody was aware of it back then. Not even them. That precise moment and for the first time ever, a unique chance was given to people that was unheard of until then, and even now, almost three years later some still don't get it. Sounds confusing? Well, let me explain it then...
How often does someone have the chance to make money from the very first day without having to invest a single penny? All you need is an internet connection and a PC. Yeah, your read right. That's literally the only requirements. The rest is up to you.
Not everyone can afford to invest fiat money, even when they realize the potential. It is totally understandable. There are millions of people who struggle with real life obligations and live hand to mouth. Month after month...an endless loop...a daily fight...them vs the world.
If you are one of them, it seems to me that those two guys, gave you an opportunity that will probably won't be given to you again any time soon...are you still following me? Good.
All you have to do is login to the platform and start doing what you love most. Not everyone is a super talented writer, I know that. But you don't have to be one. Not everyone feels comfortable to speak to the camera and produce vlogs. Again, You don't have to. But hey, every damn individual out there has some sort of talent. Everyone is gifted in a unique way.
So what's your talent?
You like drawing? Fine! Here is the right place for you.
You love photography? Great! A good photography equals a thousand words they say...
You feel like you haven't found your talent yet and just want to share personal experiences? Even better...let's get to know each other!
A few days back, Acidyo through this post, asked the community how would they describe Steem, in their own words. That's what Steem is to me.
A promise land where everyone can be successful and gain financial freedom. A shelter.
All you have to do is to try hard, be authentic...be yourself. Nobody said it's going to be easy...In fact, quite the opposite. It's going to be bumpy as hell and you might get disappointed, frustrated....We've all been there. But these are the moments that will make you stronger, more persistent....you are a fighter, remember?
You don't even have to invest. Not money at least. You might have to sacrifice lots of your free time, or fight your own daemons in order to succeed, but nothing comes easy my friend. And those who claim that life is easy, probably belong to that 1% of the world population...
After all, Steemit / Steem, is a perfect sample of the real world...but on a much smaller scale.
It deeply hurts me seeing average users who are powering down those few STEEM tokens they are holding just because things don't play out the way they were promised from day 1...they can't see the bigger picture...and it's such a shame.
The decisions you are about to make now, might affect the quality of your life in 2 or 5 or 10 years...So what's it gonna be?...
You were given a rare opportunity...
Sky is the limit...and this is just the beginning.
I hope this post may inspire some of you to keep trying...
Have a great one people.
Cheers.
Showcase Sundays are a great way to revive some of your older posts either because you feel they were under-rewarded or simply because you enjoyed them back in the day. No matter which post of mine, I might drag back up on the surface, there is always an inspirational tone in each and everyone of those.
Maybe this is my way to stay focused and motivated also...
Here for the long haul ya said? I knew it from the very first moment.
