A young entrepreneur approached a corporate leader after a seminar and asked, "I'm not very smart but I'm hardworking. Will I ever succeed?" Without blinking an eye, the expert said, "You will definitely succeed! You have three of the most important traits for success: hardworking, knowing what you don't know, and asking for help."
I must say I agree with that answer. Intelligence seems to be quite over-rated as an ingredient for success. In fact, intelligence can mean trouble for the young, because it can often make one lazy, over-confident and proud. The most successful people in any field are those who ask for help because they know what they do not know. And they work hard.
Keep that in mind the next time you're tempted to doubt if you'll ever make it in a world where everybody seems to value degrees and titles above everything else.
Hi. I've noticed all your posts have been hidden as well. I have gone through all your posts that would allow me to upvote you and upvoted them. I have also resteemed this post and paid a small amount (0.5 SD) to promote it as an experiment to see if this changes anything.
I'm pretty new to Steemit as well. I don't fully understand it but I don't see a reason why your reputation score is at 0 or why your posts are getting hidden.
There is a steemit discord chat server and Steemit.chat you can join if you have any questions for the community.
Hope this helps.
I will follow your lead @fortified, rEsteemed!
