It's tough out there these days! I had it a helluva lot easier when I was your age. Too much pressure on you guys today. My world was very small. Your world is vast and the games you have to play to survive are sometimes vicious. But, remember, you don't have to play. You can choose not to. You don't have to take on anything that you don't like and cash is never an answer. Just find something to do that gives you peace of mind, a sense of accomplishment and some pride. Have the courage to discover who you really are, not the person that others want you to be or think you are. I take it from your handle that you didn't think much of who were at some point in your and resorted to drugs. I did. But for me I didn't find out who I was until I took up acting at 60! Don't be a fool like me and wait that long. Start right now to find joy and comfort in your life. Good luck.

I love every bit of your real nature and sincerity sir @brian-rhodes. Beyond getting upvotes from you when I give my sincere comment here I must let you know that I long to always visit your blog to learn new things.

The voice of a father, teacher and mentor is what i hear, read here each time i visit.

Sincerely our generation faces more tougher measures than any other. Pressure coming from here and there. Life on the fast lane.

Nevertheless, having greatminds like you here goes along way in helping us all the younger generation have a clear roadmap ro where we are headed.

I want to say thank you from my heart for treating us all here like your children.

thank you as much as I say to you sir @brian-rhodes, I am very inspired with your post this time that has mentioned my name on the post, there are some things I get after reading the two links that became the content of your post, my passion to raise myself on a very large steemit platform, and I think everyone is the same, but I have a soul to develop myself more broadly to build communication with you in particular, unfortunately I do not yet understand how you can help me in developing myself on the steemit platform, I consider you as the pope who is present in my life who brings a lot of spirit, without having to be afraid of risk, my principle in achieving life is free from fear of risk. I am very reminded of the saying goes, who is really sincere then he will get it, I really expect it from you, I want to be your protégé on this steemit platform, my seriousness in rearing up here is clearly illustrated from what I told you weeks then, i really hope you can help me to get it. I want to see the offer from host @brian-rhodes for my last comment last week on your post. this will be a great hope for me from lord @brian-rhodes.

Hi brian-rhodes, I had a hard time listening to your post and do NOT agree one bit with your comment.

Look, If a person wants to give opinions and create videos that is fine if they indicate such as opinions and not facts.

I keep seeking people complain like your current video and frankly I wonder if those people truly have an educated view on anything...

I use to write professionally for a US client and part of my job was to research on the Internet a Subject / Topic ... Only after my research could I actually write on the subject as I had factual information... I would interpret the information but I would NEVER give my own views, ESPECIALLY as facts... Facts are Facts, Opinions are Opinions...

People who create DTube and Youtube videos complain a whole lot about content and say there is NOTHING to really discus and post and complain about too much effort and there not being more content...

Producing a DTube and Youtube video of any true value meas you have something of value to your viewers... Giving opinions in some cases is valid but only opinion based videos on a channel to me says I do not have enough interest in any one subject to research and write a simple 800 to a 1000 word essay on the subject to get grounded in facts... If you have no opinions or views after researching something that is perfectly fine as the facts can be presented in a way that interested viewers might find of interest... If opinions come out of the interest indicate such in the video(s)...

If you can research and write a 800 - 1000 word essay you can create a video with that information.

Complain about stuff without any intention of putting in effort seems EXTREMELY lame!

Later,

@unity404 Sir, I believe you should listen to my post again. And unfortunately, you miss the boat totally with your comment about ‘writing professionally. Steemit is not the Bloomberg Report. It’s not about research. We’re treading on ground never tread on before. It’s about support, encouragement and original content. And if people want to complain about content, that’s just fine. They’re engaged. So please. Listen to the post again.

I just watched your video.
First of all thank you for mentioning me and I'm glad I've inspired you to make this video and to continue this debate.
In the context of this platform, among musicians, photographers, writers, painters and poets, we are all trying to get noticed to catch more followers, more upvotes and to reach an higher reputation.
The dynamic of this social platform is that we need to be marketers of ourselves. The more quirky and unique is our story, the more we attract attention.
Personal observation and expression don't always fit along to bring something unique that attract attention.
I yet don't care and don't chase the success, but as you said, I'm being patience and do what I can- with the limits that I don't always have time or energy to reflect/to think/to express/to interact. I can't be always mindful, full of expressions and ideas and I don't expect the others to be neither.
Bleedpoet (never met him in real life) is also part of my micro-community here and I love his poetry!

Nicely said. But don’t confuse unique with original. I can have an original thought. Others can have the same thought. Think of it this way. It’s original to you.
