Hello everyone, I write with much joy and happiness to make my entry on this wonderful contest organized by our hardworking moderator @oppongk in this great community.
I have always wanted a platform to express myself as directed to the motivation I had to join steemit and what’s still keeping me active in this spectacular blockchain
INTRODUCTION
In life everyone needs some motivation to keep pushing forward no matter that individual is doing. As a result of the various scams in the world with regards to making money, it makes a lot of people who fall victims not to take risk in other to make it in life. These categories of people and other normal people needs some motivation before they can involve themselves into any activity.
The same way I was motivated by three things that coursed my joining on the steemit platform and also keeping me very active to the extent that I have deleted most of my social media apps that were time consuming.
FIRST MOTIVATION
Steemit was introduced to me by my cousin, @njaywan who happens to be my country rep. After the introduction of steemit to me I didn’t see any reason why I should join because there wasn’t any sort of motivation until the Recognition and approval I am getting on steemit. I have never in my life felt recognized on any platform be it physically or virtually if not Steemit. That is, the sense of acknowledgement I get on this platform, be it taking part in a contest or making a beautiful post it makes never to leave steemit but always be active.
You just imagine sometimes you make a post on maybe Facebook or Instagram, or any other social media platform, instead of you getting some good remarks maybe nice an encouraging comments, the only thing you will see under your post are criticism and mockery. How will one get motivation with negative thoughts and sayings from other people But for steemit, no matter how disgusting your post is no one will give you negative comments so as to destroy your spirits of keeping you active.
SECOND MOTIVATION
Reaching out to a lot of friends and family is another motivation that made me join steemit and keeping me active in this blockchain. I am a person that loves hanging out with people especially new friends and sharing of ideas. By so doing I learn a lot from people so as to better the small knowledge I have. Everyone can testify the fact that steemit is the best platform I can achieve this my aim of reaching out to new friends.
For example, one of my country’s moderators in the person of @nattybongo, I haven’t met him in person but I can say he is my friend because of how I relate with him on this platform. I take ideas from his post he makes sometimes, I do comment on his post and asking him questions and so on. What better motivation do I need again?
THIRD MOTIVATION
In addition, rewards for doing good work is another factor that motivated me to join steemit and keeping me active. I have been on Facebook for about 5 good years making nice post which most of them are educative but I have never been rewarded. I joined steemit barely half a year now but the rewards I have from this blockchain has added more value to my life. I am a very good chef, I have been making good dishes for friends and family to eat but nobody has ever given me a token or something as a reward. But, with thanks to steemit and Steemit foods I have been rewarded several times for my God given talent of cooking which I appreciate very much. This motivation will forever keep me active on steemit.
CONCLUSION
With my points highlighted above as to the motivation that made me join steemit and keeping me active I hope it will be considered by our hardworking moderator @oppongk . It is my hope that steemit will have a brighter future so as to give a lot of people around the world a better life and also improve upon their skills.
Thank you for your attention.
