I must say, now i know why you might have named yourself...stay on task and grow your SP diligently, post, curate,leave comments of value to the author, (one must really read the content for you to add a valuable opinion)
Yes comparison is a discourager...
To me, Steemit is like playing golf...
You can play a round with the best and the worst, but the only your score is what matters. On Steemit, there is a pay out for every player at the end of a round, that might never end.
We play for or against ourselves on Steemit.
Its a single competitiors game, Ask a pro golfer as he or she is making a critical birdie putt..if he is thinking about his partners score, not in that moment. Yet unlike golf, those that are new, have helping hands show them the way while they are playing at the masters...that is what Steemit is, a Masters course on digital finance, creativity,
and social interaction, all rapped up in hard work, without external obigation...
all four of these are critical for big sucess, in my opinion.
I am thinking of investing more fiat in steem.
I am right at the edge financially...yet I feel in my gut that like those that had stock early on in Apple, no matter how much...at the end of the day, they were smiling at the dividend check.
I feel like those on board Steemit is like being vested at apple in 1977 and that was based solely on fiat...how much more the value and community return, with investment in a Roaring Block Chain who's Bullish tirade will eventually gourd
the old Matadors of a failing fiat..based system. WOWZER!
Thank you for continually staying on task, Taskmaster and reminding that joy and hard work are dance partners if you know whats coming, right around the bend.

Good choice on your header pic...he might be wiping his tears when he realizes at the end of 2018, the economic potency of the Steem Block Chain.
Thank you for this comment @the.human.union.
It is a great analogy...the gold one. Yes we are only "competing" against ourselves. What others do is not up to us. We post, upvote and comment based upon what our interests are and strive to add what we can to the blockchain. I can only be myself, nobody else.
Over time, accounts do grow. It seems slow at first but so is everything. Like playing golf, few pick up a club and go out and shoot par. Instead, they whiff a few, shank a few, and dribble some. Over time, we grow and get better.
As for buying STEEM, that is what I did. I, personally, think it a wise move. I believe we are far below what the ultimate potential is. What I like about STEEM is one can buy it, power up, and use the additional SP to increase one's return. This greatly aids in our progress. I never fault anyone for buying STEEM to advance their cause.
Plus it does help out the entire platform by pulling some STEEM off the open market and putting it into SP. Investing in the platform does pays its dividends.
At this moment, I am looking to create wealth with STEEM, hence powering up as opposed to creating an income. I think the overall return will be greater down the road.
Give me $100 STEEM and I know a lot of people will be very happy.
Your so right...it seems just in a weeks time there has been a speed up, my curation has started to trickle in...now that Robin Hood is online i will put more in to SP.
I've never played golf but my dad loved the game.
But I do try to catch the
Masters last round.
