Am I bound to fail?

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hello there all you people of the world. This is my introductory spiel about myself which seems like it’s the right thing to do. Forty nine years ago I was born in a small city in Canada, went to school, went to work, got married, raised children and now I’m banging out a short blub about myself while I sit in my Work Camp room in northern Canada. It is fortunate that we have internet here as it makes life much more tolerable. How I find myself here is a story in of itself. I mean on Steemit, not the work camp, although that is a good yarn as well. Maybe one day I will put pen to paper and jot down my memoirs so that my grandchildren can read about how hard life was back in the day. Like walking to school in a blizzard uphill both ways and such “when I was your age” tales.
I found steemit thru my latest obsession with technology and everything internet. I have been consuming volumes of information, practicing coding, learning cyber security, building a website, taking online courses, skirting the edges of the dark web afraid to go in. Watching you tube videos about all kinds of programming, hacking, and a lot of things I still don’t understand but hope by filling my mind with all this dialogue and information I will absorb and begin to understand this magnificent world. I am in sheer awe of how much I don’t know but want to learn. I feel like a kid in a candy store who wants to try all the flavors. But wait… I’m forty nine years old how am I supposed to learn it all? How am I supposed to remember what I learned when I can’t even remember where I put my socks? Can an old dog learn new tricks? Am I bound to fail? This is what I am here to find out and experience with you people from places I’ve never been.

As you only recently joined the steemit community it can be hard to recieve lots of steem power so you could give @MinnowPowerUp a go. This service lets you earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I also recently made this post explaining my experience with it in more depth while earning over $1 per day in upvotes.

Welcome to Steemit!
You made a nice introduction and description of yourself.
This post would have gotten so much more traction with some minor design changes. Some images and arranging the text into paragraphs would have been nice.

Keep posting & keep improving. SteemOn!! :)
