Thank you so much for your encouraging words! Being successful in Steemit definitely entails a lot of effort and time. But it's all going to be worth it in the end.
If I don't persevere now, I know I'll regret it in the end. I'm sure the big people or whales now all started small. I hope one day all of this will pay off! And perhaps I'll also learn to be just as successful as you!
