The difference? Steemit!
I was going to write an epic anniversary post today and I had began working on it but things didn’t work out as planned. Right now, I don’t even know what to write about. One thing I feel right now is that instead of listing the milestones I’ve crossed here (as I planned to), I’d just take this day as enough motivation to keep pushing!
Thinking back to the fact that a week ago, I had no idea I’d be out of the country and today I’m in Ghana with some of the best people, meeting new amazing ones, it does nothing but motivate me to put in more.
I really wish when the story of Steemit will begin to be told by the marketing team, all these real life stories of humans being touched and changed by this revolutionary platform won’t be relegated to the backseat in favor of some software jargon.
The Steemit Meetup In Ghana
On Saturday, we met with awesome people, eager and ready to learn to navigate the Steem Republic in the best possible way. I was giving an opportunity to speak to these people and I felt totally at home. It’s certainly a cute feeling when you step out to talk about your story and tell people they can one day be like you.
I made sure to emphasize, like I always do, the importance of quality over quantity. It was strange looking at the audience and finding them listening with full attention. I felt like I had a mission; a message to pass across and I hope I was able to do that.
Ghana doesn’t have the electricity issues we have in Nigeria and if we can do what we have been able to do so far, I expect no less from the Ghana community.
I appreciate the growth I’ve witnessed since day one; from the introductory post that earned $0.04 to this point. It still feels like a dream but one I’m very active in.
Hello bruv @fisteganos...I admire the way you write! It's effortless yet eloquent, seamless yet pretty simple. One of my darling young friends (@phait) talks about you in such glowing terms that I had to follow you to find out what it is about you that inspires him. Now I know. Another of my darling young friends (@adejoke16) was on the Ghana trip with you and she also writes beautifully about you.
Steemit had been lauded again and again for months in my hearing but I had always brushed it aside believing it was another distracting social media platform. I have however found that to be so untrue. You guys are doing an amazing job here! Liberating people, bringing socio-economic freedom to the youth, saving so many from the dangers of joblessness and hopelessness. I salute you Fisteganos, as well as other wonderful people like you on this platform.
I'm quite new on steemit, 1 day old to be precise but I must say I have been wowed by the amazing intellectual content of several posts I have read and also been greatly inspired as well to spread the news! Well done!
Steemit is a place like no other. It’s a community of people changing their lives and that of their communities.
This is what you learn to do after spending time on Steemit. Instead of being vain, you actually become a better person (at least that’s what I feel). I’ve heard about you and I look forward to reading your introductory post. Don’t overthink it please 😊
Chai! You got me there! I have "over-thunk" it already! I mean, i checked out some people's introductory posts and my oh my! I kinda got cold feet! People here are soo eloquent and intelligent! I can't afford to do less than a great job of it. Unfortunately, I'm pretty old school and I fear my "thing" might not be the kind that interests younger people..,so that's where I am..over thinking it. *grinning
Is glad having you in Ghana... Happy Anniversary... I promise you a milestone and I'm going to achieve that in march . Thanks for your words of encouragement. Steemit is all about freedom... Enjoy it man
