There were 11,409 other early adopters when i arrived in steemit. I couldn't relate to most of them. It would have been easy enough for me to give up and claim that I can never gain traction. I refused to give up. Giving up would have equalled me having to exist in the 9-5 world. That is the true reason I had a fire under my ass........I never want to go back to that deplorable existence, for it contains illness, both in body and mind. I will claw and scratch my way out of any cave that tries to enslave me. I will die trying.........
I am pretty lucky that I love my job and the opportunities it provides me, but I love the idea of financial freedom more, that my job could be managing my own investments part time, and spending the rest with my family.
I would not have found out about bitcoin and all the other things that stemmed from it such as steemit if I hadn't had my job.

I will print out this speech of yours with a big font and put it somewhere where it will sting me in the eye all the time :)
Thank you and good night.
