@terrycraft, I also try to inspire people on Steemit and hope to inspire you as well. It all takes time. I had many posts with no Upvotes whatsoever and I still do. The point is that I a still posting, still building a reputation and I will not give up!!!
We just have to push through and get into a rhythm of of posting good content. English is also not my first language, although I speak it on a frequent basis as my 2nd language. I do understand your point that it is difficult to get a message across when translating. Some of the message get's lost in translation.
