Celebrating 2 months on Steemit.. What is the way out when my best is not enough?

in life •  7 years ago 

FB_IMG_15226058767927118.jpgFor celebrating my two months on this platform with this great family, I would like to share with everyone something bothering me and other minnows in Steemit, so I do like to give it a topic "When my best is not enough"

I posted this earlier but did not get feedbacks from the family to help us grow.

I have joined steemit now for 2 months, I will like to say Steemit has been a fantastic platform for me to test what I thought was the best I had in me.
I tell people I am not a trained writer but challenges in life and everything going on within and outside my environment has forced me into writing, I ended developing myself because I saw it as an escape from brooding due when I went through as a teen. But as time goes on I became addicted I just want to write about things I came across, all these times I believed I was at my best and I failed to see the reason for an improvement probably because I am a Computer science student in a polytechnic in Lagos.

My topic comes in with a question.

When my best is not enough, what is the way out?

My need for improvement is one of things steemit has taught me in the last 2 months, If you all agree with me when our best has failed, improving ourselves is the key to leveling up back to the standard or requirements needed.
Sometimes back i posted on not giving up as a minnow on steemit, but recently I saw the need of improving while giving your best. Imagine when iPhone1 was produced the producers just stick to iPhone 1 and didn't improve on producing other versions of iPhone I believe by now it will be the world least use phone but they did not stop in improving and that has taken iPhone to the spot it is in the world today.

I will share a personal life story with you.

At age 8 I was an outstanding pupil in my class then (primary 4) I believed I was the best, winning various competitions for the school that my teachers insisted I write common entrance into junior secondary school I was happy but my mummy refused. I beg her and made a deal that if I fail I will continue my primary education but if I pass she will allow me. She agreed, surprisingly I passed she was so happy that she promised to celebrate my birthday for age 9.

I thought my best will be enough in the JSS class, when I got to Jss1 I couldn't meet up because I was so confident of my best and didn't see to need to improve before resumption, the first term results I failed but saw the need for an improvement. I work and studies hard and at the end I was at the top of the class the following term.

I hope you see the point in the need for improvement. I myself have not posted in a week because of the thought of improving to be better writer, contribute to the growth of Steemit, educate more steemians and earn good.

I want comments from everyone, please share your ideas and thoughts in helping us improve, with maximum love I am wishing everyone a great day.

this is kind of interesting on improving. Many people who've I've met and talked for a while have told me that for what I'm doing with my life I'm on the path to success. But somehow that doesn't give me any happiness, id rather learn what i dont know and because of that im trying to learn python and decided to start reading even more. But on the downside i get to see the flaws of society the deeper i try learning more and i feel like its holding me back from improving more and turn narcasistic after everything.
even now I've finally I learned the meaning of "ignorance is bliss"
