There is definitely 'love' on what I am doing on Steemit and also my career as a graduate architect too. It is so true that grit is the ultimate drive for us to do regardless of how hard is the thing is. When we love what we do, we will get even more excited when facing the challenges. It is just like playing games and the challenges that we find it hard will be the 'big bad boss'. In order to defeat (solve the challenge), we have to acquire enough tools (create tools to increase efficiency in writing), train enough experience (consistent to do), accumulate enough mana (perhaps financially) to make it.
I think that's the fun on all kinds of new business (including Steemit) as I take it as a starting point to my future brand career :)
