Hi @acidyo
I'll try to be as honest as a can, this is the truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
It's quite simple for me:
I'll help this wonderful community grow: this am already doing with my 15SP delegated to me as a newbie.
I'll help myself grow : This is the reason am acquiring steem power in the first place ,...am not doing it because i like numbers.
I'll help the needy : this should be number 2... but then, how can i help people if i cannot help myself here. I believe when someone takes freely from steemit that person should also be willing to give freely. At this point nothing will be able to stop me from helping people that are truly in need.
It's such a simple yet not as common as an attitude that you could guess to find here. So praiseworthy. Godspeed for your journey, @mhizsophie !
Thank you for your kind words. I'll surely do my best.
wow wow wow.............great question........................
Excellent! As @destrudo said, people don't admit most of the time that they're using Steemit for partly selfish reasons. While I want to make Steemit be a very special and pretty community, I also want to do it because it's my community in a certain sense. It's like wanting to clean your street because that way you're more satisfied at the sight, the health benefits and what it gives the community.
In a sense, helping others is also for "selfish" reasons, since you act to feel satisfaction by feeling like you helped others. This doesn't help explain why someone would sacrifice their well-being for others. Perhaps peace of mind is more satisfying than death by fatigue. Got a bit too philosophical here. Great points you make, a bit inspiring, even.
You make a lot of sense @cryptosharon ... Your philosophy is perfect.
Thank you :)
@mhizsophie, I want the power to design amazing experiences for myself and the people I love. Right after that, I have dreams about how to redesign the whole world. The more money I have, the more I can influence the causes I care most about: justice, equality and the sustainability of our planet.
wow! beautiful... You have a lot of wonderful plans @dhamtex
It's not going to be easy though!
Looking forward to this new world you have in mind
I wish you all the best ...
