I am David but my friends call me Gandhibaba. Permit me to contribute to this excellent campaign by first giving to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. So, I thank @surpassinggoogle and every Steemite who has contributed to this awe-inspring discussion.
Frankly, I would need to write a whole book if I must discuss every adjustments that have happened in my life since I found Steemit. And because I do not intend to bore the reader, I will only mention three of the most important adjustments.
To begin with, Steemit has changed my worldview about what it means to be generous. Before I joined Steemit, I used to think that it was only worthwhile being generous to the people I knew. Now, Steemit has changed that view completely. I have met several amazing persons here in the past few days who have shown me unimaginable generosity. Surprisingly, they do not know me and do not expect anything in return. I am thrilled by this altruistic acts, by the burning passion of the old members to help newcomers like me to learn and earn; and I have decided to replicate this great values in my everyday life.
Secondly, since I found Steemit I rarely log into my Facebook account. This is because Steemit has given me the opportunity to turn my passion (writing, of course) into a reward pool. I have authored over two hundred articles on Facebook, some of which were published on the pages of national newspapers, but I did not get a nickel for it. I am happy that Steemit has changed this story and liberated budding writers like me from the slavery of social media such as Facebook and Twitter. I may not be a whale yet, but I am optimistic.
Lastly, Steemit has lit a fresh candle of hope in me. I gained admission to a postgraduate study in Germany last year but I could not meet up because I could not raise the $8,800 needed for the trip. I have since remained hopeless. But since I found Steemit, my hope has been restored. I believe that if I am consistent here and invest in Steem I would raise good fund before September 2018 to pursue my dreams.
I will end this essay by saying that Steemit is not a gold; it is a treasure of gold. This is my Steemit story and the adjustments that have happened in my life since I found it.
Highly rEsteemed brother.
