21 ways to change your life by using steemit (Part - 2)

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

continued........

So the 1st part became a huge success !! I received more then 130 comments and due to that I couldn't make time to write more the next week. I tried to reply everyone but it seemed impossible. But I read each and every comment even if I didn't reply to some. It was amazing to know your stories about how steemit helped you in one way or the other. I am sorry for missing out on replying to some comments but you guys were waiting for the second part and I had to finish this one off. Also, the 15 ways changed to 21 ways because I realized some more amazing ways through which my life changed due to steemit. So there is another part coming guys with more ways !! Until then, here is how my life changed through steemit it and how you can changes yours too :) :-

9. The habit of reading will open new gates for you :-

This one is really important to know so that you start reading other's content !! Some people say to me that come on, who the hell is going to read so much and then comment !! It is so time consuming and neither do we feel interested to read. Well yes, it happens in the beginning but if you force yourself do read continuously, 3 things will happen !!

First, your reading speed will increase and the time it took you to read 1 article, you will be able to read 5 in that time span.

Second, you will be able to do the above because your focus and concentration power will increase dramatically, accompanied by a greater ability to grab complex vocabularies and grammar. This would help you in the outer world as well to live the moment to the fullest while concentrating at one place at a time, thus helping you save your time in other chores as well !!

Third, you will realize that even those articles, which you have no interest in are providing you with some knowledge that you would never have known whole your life if you didn't force yourselves to read !! Soon you will turn into one curious being willing to accept knowledge and keep your mind open and read whatever is presented in front of you.

10. Change your life by changing your techniques :-

To reach the park in your society, there are always MANY WAYS. Aren't there? Similar is the case when you want to reach anywhere else, may it be your dream life, your motive, success etc !! What I mean to say is that you need to Experiment.
Sometimes some things works on some people, sometimes they don’t work at all, sometimes they work on everyone . You need to keep trying, just try a different trick and never give up !! Whether it’s life or it’s steemit. Here are many ways to write, many ways to leave an impression, many ways to attract audiences, many ways to make contact etc. You just need to find out what works the best for you.

11. Is getting old the purpose of life ?

Of course not, but we all are heading there. But we still enjoy our journey. That’s how you should take your aim !! Only to give you a direction. You need not hurry. Instead you need to enjoy the journey.

Steemit teaches you to take it easy and take it slow. You might get a little late to be a dolphin or to be a whale but you would be there, someday!! Why to hurry? Just enjoy the journey 😃.

12. Unity in diversity :-

When you speak to people of different nationalities here on steemit, you realize how big the world is, and how small your thinking is ! You realize the things that you thought were just so damn serious for you does not keep any importance at all in other countries. It broadens your mindset and slowly makes you rethink about your narrow thinking. It makes you mature and you stop over reacting on small issues. You start having a broad vision, you start thinking for long term and temporary issues do not disturb you anymore. Also, you learn so many things from people of different nations. Steemit acts as a union of diverse places and help people learn each other's culture, perspective, lifestyle and thus helps us all grow together.

13. Steemit will bring forward a new you :-

Your hidden talents and abilities will find a way to display themselves through this platform. I started with poetry, then started writing articles. Then I uploaded my songs as well at times (I will do that more often but I have some plans before that) and now I also started writing fiction. When you get used to steemit you try to explore yourself and you start doing what you always wanted to. What's better then that ? Steemit gives you a platform for almost ANY TALENT. Steepshot is there for photographers, dsound for musicians, dtube for making videos about ANYTHING that you want to !

14. Help others change their world :-

Did you ever feel that blessed feeling which comes after you help someone? It's much much better then helping yourself !! If you think it's not true, then you haven't ever helped a person IN NEED !! The happiness and gratitude that you will find in their eyes will make you feel out of the world. Steemit gives you a chance to do the same through the POWER OF WORDS !! I don't need to describe the power a pen holds, do I ? We just need to use it wisely. (Though the pen is now digital and invisible :P)

I really love helping others and that's the main purpose of my writings !! Steemit will give you a chance to change other's life by every word you write. Yes many don't read but when I have to make someone understand about something, I just send them a link to one of my many months old articles. (Yes you can save yourself from arguments also this way. Though there is no guarantee of the other person NOT running away due to slapping an article on their face whenever they try to prove their point. LOL)

When I joined steemit, of course money was a concern but since always, I wanted a platform to write. If you read any piece written by me, there is no way it doesn't help you !! They are all designed this way !! I never write for formality ! And I really hope everyone wrote the same way but anyway, I will keep on doing my stuff letting others do theirs. So help others either by writing **as per your reader's interests/benefit OR vote for them. Don't vote any random person who don't deserve it ! Vote those whose content needs to be voted and whose content can make a difference in the world. There are many people struggling on steemit, many even putting efforts and time but only those people, whose content can help anybody deserves to be voted according to me !!

15. Improved grammar and vocabulary :-

This doesn't need an explanation. When you write a single word for the same expression every time, there will come a time when you would feel like that you should use a synonym instead. You will google and look for similar words which would thus improve your vocab. Also when you develop a reading habit you will have to search the meaning of those complex words thus adding to your vocabs again. Also reading and writing will both improve your grammar as well !!

@himshweta great post! Loved it all but specially the 14th point... I've been wondering lately how could I use this platform to help people, to fundraise for good social causes or reliable NGOs, to make my little part to make this crazy and unequal world a better place to live in... I'd love to use the huge potential of Steemit for something like that, but I'm afraid I still have to figure out the best way to do it...I'd love to know your thoughts about it...widely open to suggestions! Upvote! Greetings from Spain! :)

Same! I want to use it for social good as well. I am trying to figure this out too. I am going to follow you in case you figure it out :) .

Lets think something together...upvoted & followed back @dflo ! :)

Every person in the whole world is helping the other directly or indirectly. We can't help the same way the others do. We have our own talents and own mind to bring out ideas to help others. I believe we all should stick to what we can do the best.

Yes thanks this is true! I am looking for ways to create community projects for social good, and so what i meant is i am looking for other people who are also creating community projects , so I can learn what they are working on and how they do it.

Oh, I see !! I am soon beginning a project on my own of helping people on an individual level. Stay tuned ;)

There are tons and tons of ways to use Steemit to spread wealth and social change. You can promote Steemit, delegate if you have extra SP, support bots like @treeplanter or @steembasicincome who spread loy and love, and check out @livesustainably too. You can simply spread good information, good vibes, and good cheer too! There are numerous chareties already on here!
After some time and work I am sure we will all have big upvotes that make people jump for joy when they get them, and until then there are various other ways we can pitch our small couple cents into the bigger pool. If everyone on here contributes something, that would be a lot!

I agree !!!

Sorry for replying SO late. Was busy this week.

Well steemit gives you a platform to do whatever YOU can do best. And that's how you can help people. If you know what is it that you can do best, then half of your problem is already solved !! Just do what u can do best and see how it can benefit others. Tke it forward by either of the platforms provided to you by steemit like dtube dsound etc.

THanks for commenting and upvoting :D Greetings from India :D Time to check your blog now :D

Now great minds really do think alike. When I left my comment on your first article I closed with "enjoy the journey" and then I started reading this one and you said the same things.

I have never been an avid reader but since I have been on Steemit I have learned a few things on here. Like the other sites Steemit has like DTube, Dsound, Dmania, and now through this article I learned about the Steepshot app which I now have on my phone.

Been binge reading many of your posts. They are mind changing. It would be great if you could write about retaining reader's attention. Will be waiting for your next one. Cheers!

Hahahah !! Retaining reader's attention !! Well that's a good idea. I will write about it, Thank you :D

But simple trick it is, read your posts again and see if they are holding your attention or not !! If you can't stop reading them, then others would also not be able to stop reading!!

Hey i texted you on discord !!! You don't come online there?

Lemme check!

Yup some times binge reading works specially when the post is never ending. It also works when you know what the author is written. It also works when sub titles are correctly done. Because sometimes sub titles themselves speak a lot.

I agree !

Hello I am new here and I recently started writing and I think this is a brilliant. You can read some of my stuff at @osasuj.

I have got your message and it contents me being a minnow. You have written the word Vocabulary wrong.

Haha, thanks man !! Pretty ironic :p You should have read my previous posts. Will understand the difference ;)

Long way to go !!

Yep, we all do. Already read your previous post. You got a new Fan gal.

Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment. I will check your blog now :D

This post is also going to be a big hit as was it's previous part!

I'm a newbie with an experience less than a month on steemit.It hasn't yet changed my life a bit.But who knows it will?

Having studied in government Malayalam medium schools, I had always struggled to cope up with English language.It was after finishing my graduation in 2015 that I understood my pathetic level and determined to fight on.I started reading English books and newspapers with the help of a dictionary.That way,I reached the level of a 10th grade CBSE student!

Then I started using Quora .Still I am. It helped me a lot to get acquainted with English.after becoming a steemian, I made a lot of comments and produced few posts.Every time I write something,Im sure my English skills are getting improved!

I am planning to write IELTS exams this year,for its success,I have no doubts, steemit will be much helpful..! I think atleast I can fetch the fees required for it from Steemit.Let me end the comment with this great saying:

"If you are born poor its not your fault.If you die poor its your fault" -Bill Gates

Looking at this comment of yours it doesn't at all looks like your English is bad. Its pretty good. Some times going after perfection will only lead to frustration. So, ya your are going good with your english.

Thanks for your valuable opinion..When I hear this kind of words from native speakers,I feel as if I have bettered my position.kind of an achievement.And it encourages me further as well!

Yeah his english is pretty good !

Sorry for replying late !!!

Well this post wasn't that big of a hit !! But it's okay. Not everytime is your content seen on steemit. and if you will consider the factors I mentioned in my post, you will understand how to change ur life through it.

Glad to hear about ur win with english !!!

A great saying indeed ;)

Will have a look at ur posts now :)

Salam kenal ..terimakasih anda tlah bersusah payah membuat tulisan yg sangat baik.

Thank you @himshweta. I must say, I love the way you explain your thouths. simple and precise. I'm following immediately so I get more.....keep the good work!

Thanks dear :)

Upvoted ☝ Have a great day!

Thanks

130 comments on a single post? That would be a dream come true if it happened on my posts. And you don't have to reply on every comment specially when there are 130 comments.

The change that steemit has brought in my life is that it consumes a lot of my time. It is also helping me plan my retirement for sure.

Hehe. I try to reply but it become impossible sometimes !!

Hahaha. It eats your time. No doubt in that but you will soon learn to manage.

You got it right :D.

Thanks for voting and commenting dear. I will check your blog now :)

#22 (unless you covered this in the first list) It has forced me to learn to be nice to people, one of the great things here is only positivity is rewarded and so I have learned to be nice. Other social media rewards not being nice so I was used to that. Also I am not naturally nice so it has been a process for me.

Hahahah, yeah I mentioned this point in the next part. Read yours now. I see through how many ways steemit is benefiting people. Awesome :D

Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment. I will check your blog now :D

Steemit has very much changed my life. From this post alone I can identify with several points. I am starting to read quicker and take in more information. I have also been able to explore video making and vlogging, and photography. It has been an amazing adventure!

I agree . There is so much to experiment on steemit.

I am glad you could relate with it :) Thanks for your time.
Thanks for the vote and comment. :)

I will have a look at your blog now :)

Wow I love this series I was thinking about doing something like this...I love being able to come across stuff i find on discord that i really like reading....I dont read that much but ever since I have been on steemit i have been reading a whole lot more....Makes me excited to read another article....Now i need to start reading more books....thanks for writing good content and inspiring me to read more

Start reading more content here instead of books. Then u can leave comments as well thus helping u engage and involve more, giving u more followers.

I never let anyone go from my blog without utilizing their precious time ;) Keep visiting.

Will have a look at your blog now. Thanks for the comment. :)

no problem i have been reading a lot more blogs and commenting on a lot more post....i love meeting the people that i have

really enjoyed it!! you write soo well i love it!!! :)

I love this post! I found you in steemit chat in a post promotion area so FYI those do work, lol! I especially LOVE and agree with this part I quoted below, as it has been my experience as well. Your post makes me think about how there must be a correlation between being able to slow down and comprehend longer bits of information as opposed to the Twitter Facebook short infobits reality ... comparing those two reading comprehension environments I wonder if the longer, deeper, more linear way of reading increases our ability to have a better big picture understanding. I mean, just the brain aspect of it. Making those type of neuroconnections as opposed to the rapid-fire ones. I am an artist , poet, and therapist so I am very interested in how brain function impacts our ability connect with each other... hmmmm maybe I should explore this more deeply in a post :) . Thanks for the great food for thought!

Sometimes a quotation can provide more knowledge / wisdom then a 2000 word article. I agree to the issue people face here as lengthy articles are preferred more on steemit.

but now we have zappl for the same.

I too have an interest in psychology. I will check out your blog now. Thanks for the comment ;)

You are so right hun, keep on!

Thank you dear. Will have a look at your blog too. Been a long time !!

i came here for the box opening with the jewel inside , AGAIN! haha. I truly love your gifts haha

i cant agree more that Steemit enhances your reading skrills.

and the writing, the writing tooooo!

Hahaha thanks for your loyal visits neriox ;)

Count on me! =D

Hello @xxxx I understand why you can not answer all the comments, but, I have learned something that my mother tells me all the time I do steemit. "Here you have to read a lot" I really understood better that steemit is not only to earn money, but to improve as a person and learn from others.

Thanks for posting these articles on steemit, I really hope for the second part (I'm from Venezuela and I do not speak much English, just in case I did not write something well).
