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... :)
