Dear fellow Steemians!
The journey of life is full of numerious challenges. So it is also in any journey to achievement of goal. In my Steemit journey, I have really encountered a lot of challenges. Fortunately, those challenges are stepping stones towards my progress and greater achievement in Steemit.
Here, I would like to present my greatest challenge so far as a newbie in Steemit block-chain.
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST CHALLENGE IN MY STEEMIT JOURNEY?
The greatest challenge I faced so far as a newbie in Steemit was how to beautifully format my self introduction post to make it look nice and easy to read. I have no idea of what Markdown means, let alone knowing how to apply them. I was confused and frustrated along the line.
After typing my self introduction, It was difficult for me to make my headlines and sub-headlines bold, make some text italic, and to center Text. The worst of it all was how to justify my text and how to hide image link in a word or phrase. I did not know all of these have special formatting commands in Steemit.
HOW IS IT A CHALLENGE TO YOU?
It was a challenge because I could not do it and it stopped me from continuing with my achievement 1 task until I got help.
HOW DID YOU OVERCOME IT?
When I tried all I could to get it done and did not succeed, I called the attention of @prolee, the guy who recruited me to Steemit. I explained my challenges to him and helped me to solve the problems.
DID ANYONE ASSIST YOU?
Yes.
WHO?
@prolee, the guy who recruited me to Steemit assisted me just as I have mentioned above. He did it for me and while he was applying the formatting commands, I quickly wrote the markdowns on my jotter. I later studied them and started using them on my own, without seeking help from anybody.
WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE TO THOSE WHO MAY LIKELY FACE SUCH CHALLENGE IN THE FUTURE?
The best advice I can give to anyone who may likely face this same problem or any other challenge in Steemit, is that the person should call the attention of the person who recruited him or her to Steemit and seek for help. The person should also learn to ask questions from other Steemians if he or she is confused about anything. Try to learn how to do things by yourself so that you won't have to depend on somebody to solve the same problem all the time.
CONCLUSION
learning is a continuous process. Challenges give us opportunities to learn and advance. We should all learn how to take advantage of challenge and learn from it. When you are faced with challenge, do not lose hope, think about possible solution and tackle it head on, you will succeed.
Thank you for reading my post.
