What is the Deadpost Intitiative?
The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlooked during their short 7 day life span, a chance to bring your old posts back to life and maybe make some friends in the process. The goal is not only to share some love with SBD but also by engagement to generate discussion.
Last week
First of all sorry for the delay.
As announced in my post a few days ago, there are a few changes to the Initiative coming this week. There will be no more $10 prize minimum but 100% of SBD rewards and donations will go to participants. Hopefully this won't make much of a difference for the initiative but it means we can keep going with this initiative.
On to the winners of week 20
Last Week's Winners
@williams-owb - $ 2 Steem prize
@williams-owb shares with us an English grammer lesson that perhaps even native speakers could do well to remember. He explores the multiple meanings of different words, something we all may take for granted.
Do You Know A Word Could Have More Than ONE Meaning? (READ MORE)

@becomingwhtur - $ 2 Steem prize
@becomingwhtur explores the detrimental nature of seeing yourself as the victim. I particularly loved the following: *Raging against "the man" or "the government" or "those misogynists" will never free you from your own personal prison. You have to be the one to emancipate yourself from this mental slavery - no one else can do it for you. No legislation or social "justice" can ever be a balm for your circumstances. *
How the victim mentality destroys and what you can start doing about it!

There's this popular saying that our first school is home. Whatever we learn from home, particularly from parents become part and parcel of us. The two parents successfully planted a bad seed in their children. No one is inferior to anyone. It's all about the matter of time.

I know! It's such a novelty here! We did have 1 really monumental snow in 1984...it hit the night that we got here from CA. I smelled the sweetness that lingers in the air right before a big snow...one of those memories from childhood. Told my friends that it smelled like it was going to snow hard. They scoffed! Next morning, there was a solid foot of snow everywhere!

Hmm, the title says it all. Chicken soup on a snowy day! A hot soup could be the best when you are cold to make you feel some warmth.

This explains the result a passive and lazy person would get if he/she doesnt have the inner drive to complete the task set. Inner drive and motivation is key in achieving success, just like the iron cant work well without being switched on.

Wow! Powerful stuff! Thank you for sharing your thought provoking read!

The conviction that "you might have missed something" is really a humble one, on the other hand it will never take you anywhere. The vast majority of people are advocates of what benefits them regardless of the truth of it. Few are those who seek the absolute truth.

When was is aware of the truth, there's this inner peace and happiness. Often times, we never took time to verify what we are been told about life, food, culture, etc, we just accept everything hook, line and sinker. There's power in making researches and validating what we are being told. It's important for us to grow as human beings.

I was never a big fan of comedian Norm Macdonald until I watched him as a guest on Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians in cars getting coffee". I found a 15-second segment to be hilarious and posted about it, but only got a measly four votes all of them from my own family. How sad:( Thanks for giving me an opportunity to correct this unfortunate situation:)
