Hey fellow Steemians! Hope you all are having a super day
My name is Zaid and I'm from the friendly city of Port Elizabeth down in good old South Africa! Not sure if there are any fellow South Africans part of this community but if there there are, Howzit!! I stumbled upon a video on youtube while doing some research on bitcoins and the inner workings of it all.
I'm slowly understanding how it all comes together. I then saw a somewhat related video on Steemit and found it very interesting and i was super eager to learn more only to find out that Steemit offers some amazing content on numerous topics.
Over the years i have taken interest in so many different things. After high school i joined the military where I spent just little over 3 years honing my skills as a G.I Joe lol! I missed my family too much and decided to come back home. I never attended college or university, so finding a decent job was quite a task. Washed cars for a while, and was later blessed with a decent job in the retail industry.
I jumped around quite a bit from one department to the next trying to find the one thing that made me want to get up in the morning. From logistics, buying, quality control and Information systems, I did it all. Think i had the most fun in I.T though.
Anyways, resigned about 3 years ago and started a signage business and never looked back. So yes, now I get to spend more time with my loved ones and do what i love!! So awesome!
I hope to create some really special relationships with you guys, learning together and helping to grow ourselves, those around us and the communities we serve. Thanks for taking the time to hear me out. Much appreciated.

For editors it is better to use the Markdown Styling Guide. It is an important source when you want to work in an editor without any icons. Below of every editors frame (comments and postings) you will get the Preview of your work.
Including Images in your post works perfectly. You can do it in several ways, as described in the image help.
For sophisticated alignments read my article about alignment in the editor.
