The Best of Your Quotes Contest: 12 SBi Shares for the Winners + 1 Month Exposure !

[senorcoconut]

Hello Hello Steem Universe!, You Like Contests?

source

Let's get this New Year started off right! It's that time again where I'm looking for the best of your quotes... And this year, I am making this contest happen once a month!

This is a call to create as genuine and as best content as we can.

A call to keep creating, to keep following your passion and to be successful!

What about the contest than?

Being that this is now a monthly contest, I will have to give away a little less Steem in form of SBI (Steem Basic Income) than in the last contest to 3 awesome creators!

It will give everyone a chance to win more every month anyways... once this contest becomes sustainable I'll up the winnings for sure 😀!

Steem Basic Income, an amazing tool and experiment:

Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content. source

The Contest is simple:

Send me a quote, an original quote and I will pick my three favorite ones.

All three winners will recieve a specific number of SBI, it may be equal or I may decide to give a little more to number 1...

• Bonus: Not only will you have some new #steembasicincome to enjoy, your steemit blog will be promoted for a whole month as your quote will be featured on everyone of my posts!

• Extra Bonus: No matter how large the payout becomes, I will put into the pool for the winners, 50% of it.

Here's an example:

QUOTE OF THE MONTH by (@mango-juice):
Winners don't wait for luck, they just dream and work hard to make it true.

The Rules:

1. Your quote must be just one short phrase and original... I will check as much as I can.

2. To qualify you must post your quote in the comments section of this post.

3. Have fun.

4. You have until the pay out date to send your quote. Any quote made after that may still be considered, unless I've already chosen the three winners.

5. No re-steem, or follows are required. You don't have to write a post about the contest but all that would help with exposure.

Disclaimer:
By entering this contest you automatically consent to your quote and steemit handle to be published here: @senorcoconut for the duration of one month.

I am looking for kind hearted quotes, extra bonus points for quotes that have to do with keeping our world alive and happy 😁!

AS ALWAYS... THANK YOU FOR LOOKING, YOUR SUPPORT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

The @EcoTrain has made me very happy and proud to be a part of it, have a look at what other passengers have been writing

QUOTE OF THE MONTH: @iamjadeline
Embrace both your strength and weaknesses as they knitted into one you, and you are knitted together with one another. Like in an ocean of planktons, red fish, dolphins and whales, all are knitted to form the ecosystem. So embrace your own life.
(If you want a quote of yours posted here for a month, there will be another contest)

Here's a phrase I came up with recently, and noticed its nice sounding quotability, at least in Spanish. I was especially happy, since out of the four languages I speak, Spanish is the least likely for me to be poetic with. I don't know if non-English quotes count, but since the pay-out date is past I might as well try. Here it is:
Tener derecho a algo no es lo mismo que tener algo de hecho.
Of course it doesn't have the same elegance in English:
Having the right to something is not the same as having something for real.

I like it, I lile it... but yeah a little too late! Sorry mate. I've just picked the winning quote and almost finished the post.

We'll have another contest a a few weeks!

So true. I like it 😃, thanks for playing! But... Didn't Marcus Tullius Cicero come up with that quote?

[thistle-rock]

Please let me know if this is allowable @senorcoconut, I just made a post 11 days ago with my own original quote and I would like to submit it if allowed. If so, Iwill post it in reply to this.

I understand if it is not acceptable and it has to be brand new.

And thanks for the opportunity.

[senorcoconut]

Hi @thistle-rock yeah it is for sure allowable!

Thanks for the contest. Here's my quote -

"As children, all of us grow up playing in the arms of nature and experiencing the joy it involves. But, What happens when we grow old? What goes wrong?"

And, I want to know if we can submit more than one entry?
