Does a picture tell a thousand words?
I sincerely hope so, because I just don't feel like writing much
about the new wave of two-year-old style foot stamping
and negativity and nonsense cluttering up the blogs.
I can respect people who don't like our platform enough
to want to stick around and find solutions to the many problems we face (probably nearly as many as the countless problems that we have already overcome)
as long as they QUIETLY move on to where they do hope to contribute their talents.
But the deeply offended outrage
displayed by some quitters as they leave
reminds me of the temper tantrums of two year olds
who don't get their way in an adult world.
The really funny thing is how many of them
end up returning after an interlude.
Some have even gone on to become very successful on this platform.
(Did you think this was the first wave of deeply offended quitters?)
Most two year olds do eventually grow up.
ouzo and out,
@onceuponatime
The one who quit dont deserve this platform.
I have been struggling here for quite a while and everyone who he is staying here is struggling as well.
Success doesn't come easy. Steemit has given me so much. People just see the monetary outcomes.
I was blessed to meet amazing friends on steemit, i was blessed to explore myself on steemit, I found so many new talents of mine, removed my weaknesses, I worked on all the areas where I lacked, steemit furnished me into a new person, gave me so much that people leaving steemit can't understand.
There will be more people coming and those who deserve it will only stay.
Let us all see only the positive side of steemit. Negative sides are slowly and steadily worked upon and soon will improve and those who stayed together on this platform will only enjoy the benefits of it :)
Thanks for this wonderful post @onceuponatime :)
I saw people signing up for steemit and people quiting their job.
I'm quiting my job
Absolutely, himshweta :) Here here... As you said, "success doesn't come easy." The blessings of steemit take time, as I'm learning too here in my what - 9th day active here... So many new friends and thoughtful interactions and exchanges of brilliant ideas.
As I posted a few hours ago in my post, BELIEVING IN YOURSELF, "I've lived my life by a basic belief that the difference between success and failure is that a failure fails and gives up; whereas a success fails and gets back up and keeps going until he succeeds. Thus, interestingly, a success actually fails far more than a failure does, because that's what it takes to succeed." All the best
Agreed, it takes time and there are so many people we can interact with and we can grow all the time with so many people around the world and it take work but it is worth it.
It is a little challenging also, because so few ever reply to comments. I guess they get so many it is too time consuming. Thanks for the comment, @joeyarnoldvn :) Have a great day
Personally, I love hard times in life.Cause only when things get tough you can separate the hard-workers from the quitters.The warriors from the boys-scouts.People tend to choose the easy way but they don't know that the hard way makes them strong and rock solid.I don't care what the SBD price looks like or how many Steemians are with me on this platform.What I really care about is to see people who love to spend time in this website, write good (so I can learn to write better myself) and love to meet new people that have the same passion to express their feelings and stories.After all, I believe that is what's Steemit is all about.
Yes, if they would stop worrying about what other posts (which they consider inferior to theirs) are making, and instead concentrate on networking and improving their skills they would become successful too!
if they would stop worrying about what other posts (which they consider INFERIOR to theirs)
Perfectly said @onceuponatime!!!!!
Success is a hard and lonely road @onceuponatime . Not everyone can get that. Some people just prefer to blame others for their disability to be successful. But we shall not forget, the best response to hate is success so keep on Steeming my friend!
Absolutely,@unshakeable! I'll steem to that... :)
Very true...
Here here, @unshakeable :) Well said!
Agreed, no pain no gain, no oatmeal no honey, as we climb up mountains towards rainbows.
People hate investing time without getting instantly rich. They feel like the world owes them. I am a whiney person myself, I can be easily spoiled, BUT I can also be stubborn and persistent. And that's one of the qualities this platform needs, persistence, patience and NOT GIVΙΝG UP in front of every difficulty.
Why try and make a quitter stay? Maybe we should make more space for others willing to fight their way to the top. And by quitter I don't mean the blogger who can't find the time to blog or goes through a difficult phase and doesn't have the mental strength to focus on the platform, but those drama queens who give up easily, just because they joined a couple of months ago and haven't become famous over night.
Do I sound too hard?
Not nearly hard enough on the drama queens who talk shit about this platform as they leave instead of just leaving quietly and finding something better for themselves.
Very true, @ruth-girl. You hit it on the nail saying, "Persistence, patience and NOT GIVING UP in front of every difficulty."
I am reminded of how to purify gold/silver or make steel out of iron ore it has to go through the fire... and Steemit is ONLY STEEM... LOL.... Thanks for adding to the pep talk... :)
It really difficult to survive on steemit during the starting days but if you manage to stay here for atleast one month ...you will be addicted to it ..I was lucky that i joined steemit in december and suddenly price start pumping ..vote value increasing and i earned good just by commenting on people post. We are at very early stages of this platform ..more things are yet to come..those who quit will definitely going to regret in future.
It's all an issue of expectations... Money... Fame... Social Life... Creation...
Most expectations provide boosts but also disappointments...
True... "It's a long way to the top, if you wanna Rock & Roll." Great Braziliera cover band too. I had to go to YT to like them there...
Quitting this platform because of the issues it's got or the hardships is really not in it.
I posted for two weeks and earned nothing, it didn't stop.
As much as people cone for the money, they also have to stay during the difficult times, the system isn't a Money maker is a blogging and earning platform of which you have to work your ass out to make anything
@onceuponatime,
Due to problems of my professional life I had this bad feeling more than one time! But I didn't quite and I won't either!
Not only in financial concerns, due to this platform i have found nice people like you do! Therefore, I wish we all will be here so long time!
(I hate to say ONCE UPON A TIME, I was a blogger of STEEMIT :D)
Cheers~
Who's quitting? I know for sure it's not me this time 😂
What steemit is for me? Hmmm, well I'll be honest steemit is PURE HOPE for me to fullfill certain (financial) goals I haven't managed to achieve yet through the "ordinary" social activities (some call them "jobs") dominated and set by our oligarchic goverment. Steemit is the hope my goverment stole from me.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@awakeningartist/i-am-sorry-but-steemit-people-have-started-to-disgust-me
I will admit a few things publicly here:
Being an adult male or female and ranting/bitching in public is embarrassing! TOTALLY! I mean....I had my moment too (and I've already semi-quit steemit once so shame on me) but I didn't go as far as this dude. I understand, we all have bad or even HORRIBLE days but acting like a baby won't take you anywhere. Fortunately for me, I learned my own lesson by a wise man and I am grateful for it now!
As things are now, Steemit is BETTER than ANYTHING our contract economy (especially in a country like Greece) has to offer. I don't know if something changes drastically in 6 months or a year from now, but as things stand now, Steemit is wayyyyyyyyyyy less disgusting than any job out there.
I do not agree with anything I've just read in that post, but I will admit that the selection of the photo was quite seductive. Or it's just me needing a new girlfriend ASAP? One way or another, I go to dive the cold waters of Corinth to calm down from the drama and that fine arse!!!! :P
Yes, I've heard that cold water can be a (temporary) cure.
I am here for the free women and free booze I was promised. Still haven't got any but a man can always hope!
Get someone to introduce you to stellabelle :-)
Ok let's see what happens 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think that you are on the right track :-)
LOL... Good one :)
Hehehe owk this is new to me. Do we really have quitters on steemit? Talk more of quttera who do so with rage? That's ridiculous . Why would anyone have a reason to rage and quit steemit? That's plain childish and even more childish when they come back which will obviously happen. ...we will be here to welcome our quitting babies back. Hahaha
batman :) nice
Thank you follow you and vote
You replying to @sistem or to me?
Haha this is awesome and so true, tons of people rage quit steam because they put 5 minutes into a post and didn't make $100. Literally everyone I work with and all my friends say "Oh my god I'm going to be a millionaire" off of posting on steam, and then they post once and get 1 vote and they quit. People have no drive these days, I don't even use steam to make tons of money I just use steam as my social media platform now and I am trying to steer away from Facebook and spend more of my time browsing steem!
Well, some people do put many hours and much talent into a post and only get a few, or even no, votes. BUT THEY FORGET THAT NETWORKING is also a big part of achieving success on steemit. Meaningful and interesting comments on other people's posts soon gets you a following and is one of the pathways to success.
How can we encourage more to come with us from Facebook to Steemit?
Dear friend, I sincerely love and respect this platform. My only thought is success here, despite my weakness in English. I contribute my talent, but I have some problems and I try to find solutions. I am an Arab and have a weak write content because me weak English and my use of Google Translator ، In addition, they do not know that I am doing everything I can to succeed, to escape the unemployment I suffer from like any other Arab youth ، I honestly do not deny the favor of some wonderful people whom I respect and appreciate, such as @drakos , @steem-samiam and Brian.rrr , and many of my friends who are wonderful. Thank you very much. Presentation of optimism when Read your article,
Good luck my dear friend @onceuponatime 👍👍😉 , all the best for you , I wish u a happy day 😊😃
I guess that you and your Arab friends could work on an Arabic front end for steemit. Or you could realize that the more you try in English, you will gradually get better. And it is a big advantage in many areas to speak a second language.
Thank you very much my friend @onceuponatime 😊 for your appreciation, and your humble opinion, really you are a wonderful person and worthy of respect and appreciation, I wish you more success and happiness in your life، all the best for you my dear friend 😃
Good work with being here and in writing and posting and commenting and good luck and the Arab world seems interesting.
Short and to the point! actually, it's better this way, we don't need quitters.
Absolutely, @alexandraioana26 :) You nailed it...
very smart meme!!!
i really do not understand why someone do not like this platform ?...
it is great.. and here i found new friends who is very nice...:))))
Yes, even famous Batman quit few times, because of this fucked up society around him! He eventually came back just like every steemien will.lol
This platform is luring in every sense, it makes one go crazy, you can't become a sensation here overnight.One has to work for it, achieve it through rigrous hardwork and consistent content.People get carried away by this platform too, they started doing everything ,like Master of all trades Jack of none.But I love this platform, it somehow gets best out of you
Let them go, the most tasty morsel will be mine :))
ahahha!fabilious meme really love it good luck for the contest and can i get more information about participating in meme contest?its my first time being on your post sir @onceuponatime
https://steemit.com/memechallenge/@fibra59/meme-challenge-61
thanks alot sir @onceuponatime
Some have succeed, its how much you believe in this platform, I think those who are successful believe a lot in this platform, well those who don't like it we can't say anything to them, it's there own choice, but those who were connected to it and suddenly left, its a big shame to them, they were doing a good thing and suddenly they quit
Haha..
I know, steemit is far from perfect but it's still worth it.
A lot of rants from people who are back after 3 hours but that also means that they love steemit.
This is the platform where i learnt many things..where i learn to earn without wasting time like facebook..where i improve myself in various ways..this is the best place which changed me in to this version of good of me :)
Strongly agree with you! As you say the two-year-olds end up growing up. The truth many grow and others stay but everything is in the attitude that people have to face challenges or problems.
Very wise words. I hope that in order to grow up, these children need not very much time.
@onceuponatime Steemit is a simulation of society. Only difference is on Steemit you can be anonymous and therefore it's much easier to be brave or whine behind the keyboard.
I didn't even know about anyone quitting, no one cares about them lol.
Let's just keep doing our stuff and good luck to us.
very good post, I really like about posting @onceuponatime.
Funny Batman version here.
HA HA HA😁😁😁
Bobble Head.
Yeah, good to respect people no matter there status... No matter what you view in them...
Very interesting challenge...a challenge is always enjoyable ...
But memechallenge is more interesting and enjoyable and fabulous @onceuponatime..
yes surely picture tells thousand words we just have to interprete,
about steemit, well said that whales don't become over night, it needs time, patience and blogging... true talent as well
Reminds me of that dancing Jesus.
Its an issue of expectation -some time its provide disapointment too ☺
@onceuponatime

https://steemit.com/creativity/@khushbakht/night-street-screen-creativity-for-onceupoatime
Let me know if u enjoyed it
upvoted and resteem..
Exactly bruh, we all do grow up. some two year olds never want to grow up tho
A meaningful MEME, I dig it brotha!
The platform, in my opinion, will grow day by day, time by time...
I am sure you will win the contest.
And i don't think there is someone who know about steemit and don't love steemit.
Steemit is best
Yeah the best way to response to people who dont like this platform is to respect them.
Naturally we should respect one another. We must do good to people who are good to us, and vice versa. This is my personal opinion, after translating the contents of your post @onceuponatime. Best Regards..
Quit? I thought he hasn't started blogging yet.
wow.....amazing.
Good post friends thank you for sharing, success is always friends
Those that made it on this platform cant ever think of quit
many just don't stick around they see high sbd all the way lol
First of, I would like to thank you for making me smile after a really sad day!!!
Secondly, I find your post interesting enough because emphasises on different human behaviours that from time to time can be quite interesting and subjest to analysis LOL!
💗 💗
Quitting can be good for the people that stay behind. The good and bad thing about this platform is that there really are no rules. But there is the ability through community, power in numbers. To enforce, to a certain extent, some type of order or rules. Which is a bit of a conundrum - in the sense that: the basis for the Steemit platform (blockchain / cryptocurrency) is supposed to be decentralized.
Steemit can give things and also can take them from you.
Depends how you use it.
It's okay to leave if someone has circumstances, no worries.
Nice Meme. Ragequitters just need a bit more patience and work on their content.
Good meme pic, all the best for challenge .
