My name is Damon,
I'm from Brazil , I was born in a little city in southeast of the country . When I was 8 years old , my father , who worked for a nacional bank at that time started moving from cities to cities every 3 years.... so you can imagine how dificult was for me to establish long term friendships ... :-))
Time passed by and when I was 17 , I started my Electrical Engineering graduation ... ( it was a hard time, but also one of the best period of my life ) and I took my Diploma in 1996.
After that I spent 3 months in England ( loved the country ) in a small town called Hastings.. I miss that time ...
Then I went back to Brazil and started working for Ericsson Telecommunications and took part of implementation team in south of Brazil.. I used to sleep only 4 hours per day at that time .. ( overwork but at least I won a lot of money ... lol )
One day I decided to go out at night ( I had to clear my mind or I would became crazy with such a volume of work ) and I met a girl ... that was in 1997 ... 3 years later we married ... we're together 18 years ... we had a little girl .. a gift of God .
( Love you girls !! )
Today I'm still working at telecom field .. but I did fall in love with stock trading and cryptos .... that's how I knew Steemit ...
I'm a new user ( still have a lot to learn ) but I already love this platform ...
If you liked my intro , consider upvoting it ... I'm not good with words but I tried hard ... :-))
Thanks to all of you !!
Cheers !!

Welcome. Do you have any idea what you'll be writing about here?
Hope you enjoy the community, and keep working on building your steem power, even when it feels slow and pointless
Thanks ratticus .. this is really a good point... pointless feels like you do not belong to platform or people don't care about you ... I think this is normal in the begining ...
I'm following you now and I hope to learn with you ..! Tks.
As a newcomer, joining a community is one of the best things I did. I was prompted to join by a good friend just as the #steemwars were happening, and that got me straight into interacting with people in #teamaustralia, and a fairly quick growth of followers and support than just trying to do it all myself. So very thankful to have found them right at the start. I know I'd not be where I am now if it wasn't for the community.
It's just a matter of finding one that fits your style and possibly location. As part of the Minnow Support Project discord there is a #teambrasil channel which would certainly be a good place to start. MSP is very helpful and supportive of new members.
Thanks for your comments !

Hey! Welcome to Steemit! This community is amazing but does take some getting use to since it’s a bit different than the other social media platforms.
I joined Steemit December 30th, 2017 and have had a blast networking, learning and earning (actually made some pretty good money so far)!
I'd suggest signing up for these applications for Steemit that gets you free upvotes and followers. They were a huge help for me!
Hi entrepreneur916, thanks for your tips... I'll have a look on them .
Cheers !
You are very welcome! Welcome aboard!
