Interesting perspective to use. Yes I believe in self-improvement as the motivation for keep going on steemit. While my goal is not to become rich, but to finance my ongoing bike travel and do have fun blogging at the same time.
I never try to compare myself to others on steemit but instead compare myself to where I was a week ago. In just a month I have gone from rewards of a few cents (and a few very lucky hits but never mine that) to a steady 5 SBD. Again, it's not a lot but it's progress and that's what matters to me :)
thanks for the good read, cheers! Maybe I will be trying to keep track of my income history as well!
That's a great way to do things. You should never compare your own results with others. Compare your results with your previous results, and nothing more than that. - I wish you the best of luck! :)
