Priorities are misplaced when you can mine the gold beneath, but you chose to play on it.
This is the Information Age where you can get information at the tip of your fingers from anywhere. The internet has made things very easy, yet a lot of people only come online to have fun. They spend several hours chatting and writing updates on platforms that gain from their activities and pays them nothing. Don't get me wrong, none of those things is wrong, but not when it is affecting your productivity.
I see a lot of people complaining about not having a job, but they spend several hours online doing unproductive things. They chat and catch fun in the same environment they could have used to create jobs for themselves.
The internet is filled with opportunities for everyone who dares to find them out.
When next you handle your phone and computer to come online, I want you to know that you just got access to something that could be referred to as "A piece of land that has gold underneath it". Understand that you can choose to play on that land, build structures on the land or Mine The Precious Stones Beneath. The choice is all yours.
Learn to prioritize your time, money, thoughts and energy aright.

Yeah a lot of people are less productive doing one thing or the other online with no rewards therefore burn their data.I will try the #sttp tag someday.
This is bad. If I was not on whatsapp one night reading bet tips I'd have not come across steemit via @enolife rant to quit sport bet and join steemit.

Well said its that simple voted and followed
Yes, you are absolutely right, the internet is so filled up with opportunities one of which is steemit platform itself
A friend of mine and I started steemit together, but he chose to see it as a child's play, right now he comes to me to borrow money, and we use to be both broke. You've really ignited me memories this rainy afternoon great write @ogoowinner
Steemit ain't child's play Bro. It requires so much effort,dedication and persistence. It ain't for the weak.
A lot of people are on steemit, and don't make fair rewards for their time and energy on the platform; why? Even if you join steemit, been at the right place and at the right time is very rewarding.
Check @vanessahampton blog for inspiration
It's all about determination.
I spend much time on internet, and truly i love to make a job for myself in internet, but im afraid of no idea?! what should i do you think ?!!?
@luminous-nova you already did make a job for yourself by discovering steemit.
Now the things expected of you is hardwork, putting much of your time here and most importantly persistency.
Yes you have to be persistent because some days you might feel like giving up because you ain't getting what you expect here on steemit. But if you are persistent and you are here for the long run, then you would see reasons to continue. Am saying this out of experience..
Also socialize, read posts and comment.
Commenting helps you grow here on steemit bro. That is what helped me to get to where I am now..
Lastly find your niche.
Something you love and enjoy doing, even in hard or bad times..
Making a living online is not just about steemit alone. There are a lot of to learn online that will eventually place you at a higher advantage if being valuable. You can learn programming or the art of writing. Whatever is best for you, dive into, master it, then you'll be able to start creating real values that will help you earn a living.
Thanks for contributing..You've spoken well Ms @ogoowinner..
Opportunity waits for no man, we all have to be prepared, it either you get informed or you get deformed.
Thank you my lady, I belong to that class of those who wast away their time online long before I find steemit or steemit find me... Lol
I burn data watching YouTube videos, facebooking, whatsapping and the likes, not knowing I can use the data productively.
I attended a seminar in UI sometimes around last year where the facilitator talked about millions of money he made online, it does not occurred to me that I can do the same.
Thanks to steemit that's opened the door, I now make money from other platforms so apart from steemit alone, I don't burn data again, I'm engaging it to work for me.
Thanks for the message.
The internet present distractions as well as opportunities and most times, the distractions are more enticing, making you forget your joblessness.
The remedy for that is called, delayed gratification.
Your a motivator sis henceforth I'm doing all my possible best to prioritize my time most especially.
I learnt so much from this part of your post where you said
We've got access to something that could be referred to as
I must say youths now a days depends fully on chatting fun on the Internet, rather than using it to make money, steemit is one platform than has change that view cause every post is what something, cryptocurrency has create opportunities for job seeker but some people still depends fully on job rather than learn how to improve themselves on this platform steemit has several vendors such as busy,steemit,dmenia,dsound,dtube all you needed do is to choose the one you are best in.
Thanks very much for this feedback.

Hi @ogoowinner, your post on "moment of truth, save steem (15days) ago inspired me to create this account mainly meant to out smiles on steemians face... I just pulled through my first video, do you mind taking a look at it....
#IAmAClown
Oh! Good luck with your new initiative.
Thank you
Productivity is number 1 factor to development. Thus, any activity that doesn't add to what can produce something out of us, then it's underutilized thereby becoming impotent to our focus and acquisition. Nice words @ogoowinner
This the part the most. Most people don't know their phones is not just handset but an asset. This is one thing i discovered that ever since i joined steemit. Since that very day i don't use my data to chat or upload pictures on intagram, rather i use it more for something more productive just as you said. And in my own knowledge the little people i put along are forever grateful to me.
Hello! I find your post valuable for the wafrica community! Thanks for the great post! @wafrica is now following you! ALWAYs follow @wafrica and use the wafrica tag!
Most people are still ignorant. When you present them with opportunity. They feel its another joke and some will tell you that they don't have time while you find them on facebook always. Slaying for free
A lot of opportunity lies in the Internet, funny enough we are just exposed to 40% so we need to keep digging. I was surprised that it took a whole year plus before i know about steemit and i was really active online hmm, such is life, we still Got a lot of opportunities online.
Bottom line is
What separates the ordinary from the extra ordinary is always a little extra. Making little extra effort to know our priorities and place them right has an unmeasurable tendency of making us extra ordinary and different from the rest.

I wish a friend of my could see this..
She's very talented, have been telling her to join steemit but she's like it's stressful. Main while she waste most of her time on other social media just chatting. I just pray she gets to see reason soonest.
If only some individuals can use their time efficiently by doing valuable things then would only the problem of unemployment be reduced.
the time changes everything along with experiences and the priority take new shapes
