I made a post on my blog in an attempt to contact you and I am also going to put it in your comment section in hopes that one of the two ways reaches you @surpassinggoogle.
I have heard of the many things you've been doing Terry and I really applaud your efforts. I don't know if you will ever have time to read this (given all the other comments you receive), but if you do I want to tell you that you have an ally out there that is only 22 days old on this awesome platform.
I may be new to steemit but I am not new to life and I have run several $100 million organizations (in the financial industry) and I know first-hand the potential you speak of. I stumbled onto steemit by accident a few weeks ago and I'm blown away at the opportunities ahead.
I also founded a 501c3 organization called Unleash Power For The People Foundation. We only were able to complete one small project (longer story of why and what issues I faced), but that project was providing a solar power installation at a school in Benquet, Philippines. I'll never forget the unpaved road that took me up the mountain in the back of a jeepney to the place where the locals had no electricity. It is an impression that will never fade in my mind.
Here is link to give you an idea of what the charity was about: https://web.archive.org/web/20080915165441/http://www.areyoureadytochangetheworld.com:80/Benquet.html
A smile I will never forget! Benquet, Philippines
I am writing this to you in hopes that you see it and we can start up a dialogue about how I can help you as a teammate to help the poor people of this world. I have seen and acheived a lot in my life, but I have learned that in the end helping people is my greatest joy.
I started my campaign in 2008 and the first website I first started was "areyoureadytochangetheworld.com" and then I started "Unleash Power For The People". I tell you these 2 things for one purpose, to give you an idea of what I have in my mind and in my heart as well.
I think steemit could truly achieve results of what I wanted to do at the time (help people to find their way out of poverty and to have a life that is rich with opportunities)... I see how you are thinking about steemit from this post alone, and I have also heard how you are focused on bringing it to the poorer countries in the world. That has earned you more respect in my eyes than any reputation score you may carry. You are a tremendous person that is perfectly placed in a platform to that may change humanity.
I would be honored to discuss how I can work with you on your mission. I will also continue to use steemit to get the message out about your projects. You (and steemit) have re-motivated me to think again of my old tagline... Are you ready to change the world?
Once again, I'm saying "yes"! ;)
Cheers and hope you get this message!
Children from village Benquet, Philippines
(source: me)
Filipinos are lucky having a guy like you and Terry, a pure heart to eager helping our kababayan, I tried to dm him sir on fb and giving this link, God bless you sir.
That's nice to say @sweetcha, but Terry is the one that is the one making it happen. I am simply willing to help him in his mission. I will do my part though and would be happy to work with you also @sweetcha so that we can make not only the Philippines, but every part of the world a better place to be! :)
and thank you for trying to dm him for me, that's something I haven't figured out how to do here on steemit directly. I hope we stay in touch!
I'm just a simple filipina even I want to help others I can't now, need to help my self thou at financially speaking, but my heart and soul can...your much welcome it is my pleasure even in a small things I help...hoping that he read it when his online...yeah keep in touch
The two things I remember every day when I wake up is to be honest and be humble. I am fortunate to have opportunities and I realize that. I hope to help others to help themselves too. You can't help anyone if you can't help yourself first. So I'm glad to see you here and being simple is a good thing in my opinion. I prefer people that just want to be happy and have good friends and family.
And I doubt he will see this because I am very small in this system and he has probably 1000 of messages every day. Its ok though, I will continue to do my best and work with you and any one who share the same goals, and eventually all of us can help him even if he doesn't know it. We are on the same team @sweetcha... and I'm happy to be your teammate :)
yeah I agree with you, we can help even he didn't notice, happy to know that we are teammates now,... just let me know If you need my help and I do as much as I can. have a nice day mate..
Thank you and same to you my teammate....
you are always welcome mate...😊
This is a good mission and you are such a kind person to help poor people in my country Philippines . Helping people is one of the greatest joy and I agree with you . I felt very happy when I give foods to poor people and I would like to participate to your mission in the near future . :) Hope @surpassinggoogle will hear you out . Good luck and change the world for the better @davemccoy.
Best Regards,
@joancabz
Thank you for your sentiments @joancabz and I will be happy to work with you in any way to help both the steemit community and the people of the world. I too hope I hear from him and I think we can all work together.
Also its nice to meet a person that understands how to "give" to others, I am now connected to you and I hope we both find ways that we can do some incredible things.
Your much welcome and yes Steemit here in Cebu has grown bigger and sometimes they are having some charity events and you can also cooperate with them . It would be fun to have a lot of people like you around . :)
I think I would like that and it would be cool. Hopefully one day we can make that happen, and with steemit continuing to grow there it could be a pretty big party indeed :)
I think its great what is happening and if you get to any charity events before I can get there, make sure to take lots of pictures and let me know you've posted them. I like to see people have fun!!!
God bless people like you more
we are all blessed by God... but yes some have more opportunities than others.
What you provided to that small school in Benguet even when you consider it as small project is a HUGE help to them. These are the people that feels they have been forgotten by the government. God bless your heart. I hope @surpassinggoogle gets to read your proposal. And continue to make the lives of the people from poor areas better. I'm just a regular guy but if there's any help you think I can contribute, you may let me know.
I am just a regular guy too @beatenegg and of course I think you can contribute. When we each do what we are able to do with good intentions in our hearts, then we have much power together. I will certainly stay in touch with you and I hope you do the same with me.
And ps thank you for your kinds words about what I did for them, but I was humbled by the gratitude that they shared with me. The whole process opened up my eyes forever and I will never forget it.
Don't worry, brother. I'm your regular follower. I'll keep in touch
good brother.. I look forward to what lies ahead! :)
@beatnegg correct no help with purest of intentions is every small
I haven't heard from @surpassinggoogle since joining @steemgigs on Discord and offering to help out on a couple of projects. However, if you are wondering what he is up to, this might give you an idea: https://steemit.com/smt/@surpassinggoogle/teardrops-token-will-be-among-the-coming-generation-of-smart-media-tokens-and-it-will-reward-proof-of-tears
Perhaps also reach out to @emejai and @samstickkz as they are also very active and are working on some very worthwhile projects.
Thanks Michael... that is awesome advice... You brought up @surpassinggoogle in our conversation yesterday and I went to his page to check him out and read his latest blog post which seemed to confirm he was working on helping out the poor. So I thought I'd reach out and see if I could catch up to him. I figured he'd probably never see the message as I see how many comments he has, but I thought I'd give it a try and see... :) I will read what he's up to and I appreciate you giving me guidance on how to work into what is going on and how I can fit. Exactly what we talked about my friend!
and I will also reach out to @emejai and @samstickkz and see what they're doing and see how I can help.
Thanks so much.. but don't forget to think how I can help you too. Cheers mate (isn't that what they say in your country?) lol
Another person who also seems to follow your philosophy of helping out others: https://steemit.com/steem/@mudcat36/how-we-all-can-strengthen-the-steemit-platform-through-new-users-a-suggestion-for-a-grassroots-initiative
I suppose if you are helping Steemit to become a better place then you are helping all of us (myself included). I have never used the expression "Cheers mate" but apparently that is something that we say, even if it is to foreigners and in movies :)
hahaha... that's what I was thinking, its probably since we just know crocodile dundee when we were kids ... lol
And thanks, I will check @mudcat36 out... See how you have helped me just in the past 3 days? You're the man Michael, thank you !
And I forgot, yes on the steemit become a better place.... that helps everyone (whether they know it or not)... and that does include you too ;)
I am sure your actions would have caught the attention of people that want to make a difference here anyway, but I am happy to contribute where I can :)
@plushvilla thank you for highlighting that @emejai and @samstickks doing this worthwhile endeavor I'm adding all you three to people I follow I love people who are selfless
And I'm adding you @gratefulayn ... If you love people that are selfless, then that means you are selfless yourself :)
I will get on your chat soon. In the meantime please talk to @artaddict on steemgigs
Hi Terry... If you want to pass this along to your contacts, we launched the #newbieresteemday tag. I know you have your plate full, but if you want to know more about it.. here is my initial post about it... Cheers and get yourself "unbroken" me need you man!!!
https://steemit.com/newbieresteemday/@davemccoy/its-here-its-launched-come-join-us-newbie-resteem-initiative
I think you will like it and I'm sure it can benefit the people you love!
That is so good of you @davemccoy. If anything I can help just tell me. This is very inspiring to everyone.
Thanks for that @qyugmo... I know you will do great things... And you're movie was very good... I put it on my page for others to see how talented you are. Keep up the good work and high spirits, you're one of the "good" ones out there!
Hey @davemccoy i saw your post about that charity movement in the philippines. I thought you may like my new post about a place that I recently visited.
put the link in here and I will check it out for sure... I'm almost done with my replies
Here is thr link man https://steemit.com/travel/@qyugmo/a-january-tradition-give-love-sigaboy-philippines i hope youll like it and I fully support your advocacy. You and @surpassinggoogle have so much in common when it comes on helping newbies. Keep it up man. Appreciate it.
I replied, that is awesome story and love the looks of those faces
Thanks @davemccoy have a nice day ahead
Yes, we need a lot of discussion. I saw your comment on my post and i didn't comment much because i feel most of our talk should be in the chat. I am Fb as Terry Ajayi and i am in Manila.
Again its awesome to connect to you Terry... I sent you a fb invite and I'll communicate whichever way you prefer! Its nice to meet you for sure :)
It would be great if we can add you on fb Terry Ajayi, looking forward to catch you there as well Terry
More peace and Love to you guys
@salmanbukhari54 I think you can add Terry, just send him an invite
https://www.facebook.com/terry.ajayi.1
I am so excited to see your partnership @surpassinggoogle and @davemccoy because I see that the 2 of you are out here on a big mission to change the world!
Sir @surpassinggoogle , I would like to give a testimony of @davemccoy . He is also new here but unlike most of us newbies, he decided to help us all (while most of us think of ourselves first as a poor minnow). His content were mostly lessons for us newbies. He has researched and shared his experiences here. He also tirelessly reaches out to each of us who join the discussions in his posts. I have found a support in the "newbie community" that he has created in such a small amount of time. I believe that the 2 of you can mobilize a great change! :)
PS. I am also in Manila, hoping for a Manila Steemian gathering :) I saw a year end event but I wasn't in Steemit that time yet.
Thank you so much for your endorsement my good friend @wanderlass... That is an awesome thing for you to do and I'm touched... :) I have known from the minute I first contacted you that you were going to be great, so to see comments like yours makes me happy think I helped you out. You are one of the people that I see playing a big part in the future and I'm excited for what lies ahead. :)
That's the least I can do @davemccoy for all the help you've given me and my fellow noobs :) I do hope that what you say will happen.
You have already accomplished a lot and you still do all these. I'm 1000% sure that you will be one of the big players here for a positive Steemit growth. I wish you all the best in this endeavor! And again, can't wait what you and @surpassinggoogle can do together :)
what me and @surpassinggoogle and YOU can do together... Don't forget, I'm in this with you as my teammate and friend ;)
and thanks for the kind words... I'm excited for what lies ahead!!!
I haven't really accomplished anything in my life so it would be such a great honor should this opportunity ever happen! :D
Keep being you and always take one day at a time and I'm confident you will succeed in anything you desire. I'm serious, I have tons of respect for you and can see what a good person you are!
Let's each do our part and the potential is greater than we can imagine :)
Hello Sir, let me help you change the world too!
changing the world starts from u dr, need not wait for anyone
@ambdavid, I know you were trying to send a nice message to @asbonclz to tell here that she can change the world without anyone's help. That is nice and I agree that everyone can take actions on their own. Thats a good message.
I think it is also awesome that @asbonclz is willing to be the first to jump into a situation and help. No hesitation and total commitment... I wish the world had millions like @asbonclz
That is so nice @asbonclz ... I'm honored to be connected to you and will work with you to make a difference. We have made a start by connecting and now lets work together when it makes sense.
No "one" person can change the world, but collectively we can all do our best and play our part. Once enough of us get together, then the possibilities become real.
So keep me in mind on things you see we can do together and I will do the same; and lets both just stay in touch and keep the communication lines open! And it is very polite to call me "sir" and I appreciate it, but I am your teammate so you can call me Dave. ;)
ps... I admire you for jumping to raise your hand and saying "I'm all in"... That says a lot about your determination and your desire to make the world a better place.
Thanks for accepting my proposal Dave, by the way I'm a he and not a she haha. You can call me Chris. By the way, I am leading a small steemit community here in Iligan City. It's called @steemph.iligan, it is an affiliate subsection of @steemph and we are committed to helping build a better community here in Iligan and other neighboring towns through steemit platform. I would really appreciate your help in our future projects. You can visit our page @steemph.iligan for future plans and community development projects. Thank you for responding to my message and God bless you Sir.
Nice you to know your name Chris :) ... And I will go check out the community site and I hope you remember to let me know if you have things going on. I try to read my replies every day but sometimes I miss a few, so come post on my latest post and I can usually spot it. I tell you this because I do want to help you and I think there are many things we can do together.
For instance, I just had a conversation this morning about an initiative to help the newer members get some more views on their posts so they don't lose hope and get discouraged. You would be someone that I would think would like to be a "founding member" of this initiative and give input and work with us.
I also want to find ways to connect each other and develop the concepts of "best practices"... Like your community is doing what you are doing, and there are so many more communities to reach. If we had a "model" of what works to show people then it helps to make it easier for the next guy.
So yes I accept your proposal and I look forward very much to our relationship developing!
Such people with a generous heart are d key to d Wel being of the world. Both financially and socially.
there are many out there @nexilly... The challenge is to organize and work together. That's where I see steemit as a big tool that can bring us together of all countries, races, and religions. It encourages good people to unite.
Thank you for your generosity and willingness to help those in need. Hopefully, this takes off and we can all join our hands together and work towards a brighter future for everyone :)
@unspeakableme you're welcome and thank you for your kind words... I do hope that we can all come up with ideas and integrate and make meaningful things happen. I share your goal and happy we connected! :)
ps... I like your tagline ... but what's a spoonie? lol
I'm glad we connected as well :) It would be awesome to see how Steemit can help in your goal to help more people.
It's a term for chronically ill people (most commonly those that can't be seen such as fibromyalgia, lupus, myasthenia gravis, etc). It's derived from The Spoon Theory written by Christine Miserandino.
I didn't know, my comment now seems insensitive. I obviously didn't mean to do that. I never have hear that term before, but I'm glad you brought it to my attention my ex-wife has fibromyalgia.
And yes I think it is possible because of the way in which it engages people. If you think about how they designed the rules, the benefits accrue by being nice and helping others. Now there are certainly a few extremely talented people, the masses still need to feel welcome. I like how people are encouraged no matter who they are by how the rewards are divvied up... Let stay in touch and if you have any ideas of how we can work together, let me know... I'm a listener!
No worries. It's not a common term anyway. And I suppose it doesn't sound serious to those unfamiliar. Yet you asked after it. So it didn't come off as insensitive to me. I'm sorry about your ex-wife though. I hope she's managing somehow. It sucks to be chronically ill.
Yeah, this platform has a lot of potential to change the world for the better. Once the kinks are seen to (including the learning curve), it's bound to go mainstream. I'm not a think tank sort so I'm not sure I can give good ideas. However, I am interested in yours. Good luck with this and more power to you. Thank you!
lol... I'm not a think tank type either... And of course you can give me ideas, if you see something that you think is cool or new or fun... just let me know... I like your thought process so I would of course be interested in something you think.
I look forward to continuing to communicate with you @unspeakableme and I too wish you the best :)
I hope i can help for just upvoting your post
Thank you @crisgojar that is very nice. Just the fact that you "wanted to help" is helping by itself. People can do things in so many ways and figuring out how to channel our collective talents, skills, and desire is the biggest challenge. I hope you continue to support in any way you can any kindness and focus on helping the poor parts of the world. And that sometimes is just a simple note to tell some one you care.
I'm glad to connect to you... And lets work together!
No worries. Thanks to you too😁😁😁
@davemccoy Looks like you enjoyed your visit in the Philippines and thanks for helping. Free energy such as solar system is a great help.
I did enjoy my time in the Philippines and I have been there many times. It really is an beautiful place with beautiful and kind people. And it was a small success and I'm glad that I did it, because I know there are a lot of people in the world without regular power. I hope that I can do my small part to help in the future and if you see something you think I can help with, just let me know... Stay in touch @phillip20steem and thanks for the comment.
What @surpassinggoggle have done for people on this platform is really heartwarming. So if you're planning on becoming like him, I say welcome and you have my full support.
Thank you very much @molokwu... I have just learned about the awesome things myself. I appreciate you working with @surpassinggoogle and I'm just joining the team. You are my teammate and I support you too!
I live in Turkey. Those who flee from war will come to my country. I try to help them as much as possible, but it is inadequate and winter is coming. We do not have enough help for the university. our money is enough to keep us alive. I am very happy to see some kind of helpful person like you.
Hi @hanzade thank you for your comment. Yes I aware about the situation that has hit your country. And I think its a shame that people are forced to flee the wars that get started all over the middle eastern area. I'm glad you are on steemit so that you can make a difference and hopefully steemit can become a place where we not only can learn and share and make money, but also becomes a place where people can become friends. I am happy to have received your comment and we are now connected. Stay in touch and tell your stories to us, we (the people of the world) need to know.
good post,very interesting
Thank you @evansbrenya :)
Wow...
Nothing mesmerizes me more than seeing or meeting people who have dedicated their existence to helping humanity.
@davemccoy
I might not be a multi-million Dollar owner, at least not yet. But am touched by your desire to synergize with @surpassinggoogle he has been at the forefront of helping Us in the platform.
I will like to support your desire and Foundation with all that I have within my power, especially intellectually and advertisement.
Continue being awesome @davemccoy
You have got a new supporter and fan from Nigeria.
That's me @idunique
It is so nice to meet you @idunique and I appreciate your message and understanding of the issues. I too support you for just making the effort to reach out and I can tell that you are a decent man that cares about "people". That also "mesmerizes" me when I see your words and support and it makes me stronger to know that I will have help.
The reason I contacted @surpassinggoogle is the same reason that you contacted me. We (me, you, and Terry) are all trying to find ways to make this world a better place. So I am your friend and we are all connected, now lets go do together what we can in order to make a difference!
Thank you so much for your kind words and you excite me about the potential going forward!
ps... your id is unique (very clever) ;)
'Am truly delighted to share in this project, it can only get better.
This is your love & affection @davemccoy that you want to continue that noble aim of @surpassinggoogle
Indeed he is always there to boost minnows, to welcome the new comers and try his level best to promote the Steemit.
I would be great if we contribute with him on steemit.
Stay you both Strong @surpassinggoogle & @davemccoy
exactly @salmanbukhari54... you are 100% correct... lets support him because he is already making our world a better place! :)
Not all people thinks as you do. :) Thank you for such very kind acts towards my fellow Filipinos there in Benguet. Providing such projects to their school is a huge help for them. You became their light. :) And those smiles melted my heart, I truly am thankful. May God Bless you always and may you have the power to help more people! Stay blessed! ^^~
Thank you so much @littlerph that is very nice of you to say. :)
And yes those small children were the best part of my experience. As you said, they melted my heart too! So so cute.
I can tell right now from your comments I'm going to be connected to you for a long long time.. By working together I think we can do some amazing things and I look forward to helping in any way I can. We are all part of a very big team and I'm happy to be your teammate :)
You stay blessed as well, God has given you a beautiful heart!
Very good
Thank you very much @opeyemioguns
I hope I can contribute this mission in the future. There's a lot of ways to help. You're very right @davemccoy helping is the greatest joy in life. We get happy when seeing them happy too. It gives us positive energy. Keep doing good to others. We are just here to support you.
Thank you so much @arumashi :) and also realize I am here to support you too... It is a big team and we all can work together and do our best. And you are right, it is the greatest joy in life is making a difference! Nice to meet you my friend and I hope we stay in touch!
@davemcoy from a pinay who loves volunteer work I'm saying thanks in advance hope this dreams of you and @surpassinggoogle come to life bless both of you.
Thank you again @gratefulayn... I am excited about your enthusiasm and hope we can work towards our common goals! We have a lot of players on a pretty good team, now its time to get to know each other and put our power into action!
You are such an inspiration to others @davemccoy, helping the poor in our country. I hope you'll never get tired helping the poor. God will always be with you and your doings. :) Thank you!
That is so nice to say @dyamesuuu... thank you so much! And I believe you, God is with each of us and gives us the strength and wisdom we need. I hope we stay connected, I like the way you think :)
Wow nice looking confident childerns
Yes they are... and happy too... It was a great experience and an honor to help them.
I love your generousity. I love your heart, and i pray you achieve all your goals concerning helping the poor out there. The Almighty is your strenght. Keep on doing the good work. Feel free to check on my blogs also, do the needful to help this boy also. Happy to be a friend!
Thank you for your recognition and for the encouragement @kuboskeey... And yes The Almighty gives all of us our strengths... I will check out your blog and lets stay in touch. And if you want me to, I will help you to help yourself. ;)
I really appreciate your kind gestures, can't wait to learn from you.
Thank you and lets learn together!!!
I think those smiling children are the best argument for the potential that lies in creativity, hard work, strategy and having the heart in the right place.
Steemit is all about this things too. And that potential is also in here. Beyond money and posting memes and stuff, THIS is what really makes me being here.
The potential to change the world for good.
Thank you very much for sharing. I hope to hear about @surpassinggoogle and you, doing something amazing.
You just got a rabid fan, Mr. @davemccoy .
Hello, i am @flashfiction , your new rabid fan. :)
lol @flashfiction ... I'm honored and I have a secret for you too... you now have your own new rabid fan, ME @davemccoy ... I like that you get it and I agree that's the true value that lies hidden just be surface... I have faith that we can tap into it.

My pleasure, Dave. Let's get this thing changed together then! :)
@davemccoy
You are awesome. You start to be a hero for them. Great, I'm glad for you :)
Thank you @coupleumbrella... I'm flattered coming from you... (remember, I have high hopes after reading through your blog) ;)
And I am not a hero, I'm just one of them. I am a person who cares and will do my best to help others. I have a hunch you're one of us too :)

out of all the bots on the exchange you @sleeplesswhale and @steembloggers have been awesome. It appears you are not "rigging" the system like many others. My hat is off to you both and I'm starting to mention you more. As soon as I've done enough test to get some idea of the averages (assuming the awesome returns continue), then I will also spot light you because I think there is tremendous demand out there for both the users and the services that do things "right". Thank you for being legit!
Greetings! I am a minnow exclusive bot that gives a 5X upvote!
I recommend this amazing guide on how to be a steemit rockstar!
I was made by @EarthNation to make Steemit easier and more rewarding for minnows.
