The #steemit promise of earning rewards for posting is one that many people has taken superficially. The lack of deeper understanding of how #steemit works is one factor that people whine and complain about.
And I WAS no exception!
It's like, "hey go to college, get a degree, and you will be successful in life!" cliche. And there are some truths in that. The keyword is "some". That means it doesn't always work. It is only the "first" step.
And in #steemit, there are many "first steps". Then there are "second steps". Then there are "baby steps".
Posts that got so much attention, I do not consider LUCKY. They are a product of the author's craftiness, creativity, wit, right timing, knowing what tickles the human mind, knowing "where to tap".
I advise you to get angry and write the best post you have ever done.
Thanks for this great advise! I totally agree with you. I have litereally gotten angry and told myself that the next post will be better than the last.
We cannot allow ourselves to be defined by the upvotes we get or NOT get for our posts. We can only define ourselves by conquering our own limitations.
