Minnow Apprecation Day + SBD Giveaway

in challenge •  8 years ago 

Hello Gang,

I have been wanting to do a giveaway to pay it forward to the STEEMIT community as you all have contributed in different ways to my small success.

As I have got to meet more people in the community I have seen a strong network of people wanting to see each other succeed in becoming whales. Under any other conditions I would not wish for my friends to become whales but in this context, it's a good thing. I get really excited telling my friends about Steemit I am sure may of you feel the same way and work to share it with the world.

I love the work that KING did to help the people past a time of Injustice. We see much of that same injustice today in the financial and monetary system that we are all working toward a financial revolution together.

Happy to try it out going out of my comfort zone a little bit. Thanks for the support of the little guy!

Indiana Jones once said, "It's not the age, it's the milage."

Steemit whales are the best whales! You all are so awesome. The whales want to see the minnows succeed, and that is so encouraging. When I'm a whale I'll do the same thing.

Hello @livingwaters, What a good attitude to have, keep paying it forward and you will be miles ahead!

We don't know yet, because its still stepping on 4 month.

Ok my quote is "As busy and tired you are out there, family is your place back".

Regards,
Mirza

Exciting times looks like we will both be Dads in the near future you a little sooner than me ;)

I if I had to guess the baby will be a boy you should cast a vote. I just attended a gender revealing party for one of my good friends in college and I thought that was the most enjoyable way to celebrate the gender of the baby.

Woow congratulations for you too ..

I guess also this boy, because this is my first child. :D

It's best to have a boy first in my opinion.

I agree with you my friend

Awesome! Upvoted, already following!

Love it @goatgarden,

It's fun to use humor to test the edge of the water and how deep the pool is. I am picking up what you're throwing down.

I believe it's called Sundance. I went just once and it was just awesome!

Go if you get the chance!

Sundance, I have hear of that. Will deffinately check it out, if I make it down that way!

You will be glad you did. Add it to the bucket list ;)

I like this quote: "The same sun that melts the wax hardens the clay".

That's an impressive perspective @faraicelebr8

Hope to get a little sun myself this summer ;)

Surfs up!

@isaac.rodebush Glad you like the quote... and by all means do enjoy the California sun!

I haven't won anything yet.. but here's a quote I love:

"Rather light a candle, than complain about the dark."

It's funny to think about how this relates to so many aspects of the choice of our attitude every day.

Yes, thank you. I like to remind myself of this quote instead of complaining about things and stuff. :)

keep up the good work!

thank you the same :)

Fist bump!

"One man with a head on his shoulders is worth a dozen without." - Elizabeth I

hello @ilovedietcoke,
This is so fun reading your quotes. Your feedback means so much to me. I will strive to be the one with the head ;)
Best,
Isaac

Elizabeth I was a wise woman who, unlike her mother, kept her head on her shoulders. Thanks for providing a forum to share some of her delightful wisdom. I look forward to seeing the other quotes on your thread, @issac.rodebush.

it's really cool! I had no idea it would play out this good. Thanks for your contribution.

Steemit is a platform of good level headed people I would say from those that I have encountered. It's the people still on Facebook we need to worry about.

I'm still on Facebook, but I connect with clients on FB (I'm a photographer) so it's sort of a necessary evil for me.

I know how you feel hard to keep track of birthdays without Facebook sadly. But for those that have no idea you just have to feel bad for them. I am amazed at how many people I tell that have free time and still will not even look into steemit

I am really glad this is playing out so well. It's a really fun concept.

"Fly to where your heart takes you, he who waits for the approval of others has clipped his own wings". Thank you for your contribution to this community!

Hi @silverstring,

Sometimes I find myself waiting for the approval of others and miss the boat. This really hit home for me. I want to be the one to act and not just be acted upon.

I too know the feeling well...lol

One of my favorite quotes will always be from the wise words of Albus Dumbledore...

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

Great post, Roda! Thanks for being so generous with this giveaway!

Lighting it up in deed :) Thanks!
