Reminds me of first joining Steemit. I knew little of blogging or crypto. But I kept at it. Still keeping at it 😀

Keep on going at it! Both will be very rewarding in the end! Good luck with your yourney. Tomas

@czechglobalhosts you couldn’t have picked a better picture for that quote!

I live my life by this quote, As a knower on the path of knowing to discover the known I reveal to you my findings, good and bad.
What picture you got for my quote?

You are speaking in too much riddls, lol.....

I have no idea where that one came from but I think it captures my quote perfectly? Might be a windows background 😂.

I’d love to write down this quote in its original Chinese: “千里之行,始于足下。” (read as “qiān lǐ zhī xíng, shǐ yú zú xià.”) =) Such wise words!
And I want to share another famous one too(I took this photo in a travel agency in Dubrovnik, Croatia):

That's exactly what I told myself when I invested a large portion of my capital in crypto..... I would rather live with the fact that I lost my investments rather than living with the fact that I have missed the opportunity of a lifetime making life-changing money not only for me but for people around me and generations after.... Have a great day and thank you for the quote. I love it. Tomas

God says that explore the beauties of nature and land, every journey starts with a pain but ends with a new things and hopes

That's a good one, I like it a lot... Tomas

thank you mate!

One should be determined, develop a positive attitude and walk with like minds.As the say goes that if you want to go fast walk alone but if u want to go far(like a thousands miles)then walk with others. they are with you to encourage you. @falopey

I hear the words of wisdom:)....

Steeming has been a perfect experience for me. Am new though but I av been able to learn alot. Persistence,courage,consistency; to mention but a few has been my watchword. I took the bold step to start hoping all will be rosy but alas,its not so. On the other way round,it is easy if all my aforementioned watchwords is considered. Above all,hardwork pays in everything we do. Let's keep working hard! It pays!!!

Stick to it and it will pay you back in many different ways... good luck on the way.... Tomas

Thanks man

Yes,

That's very true. Great things start from small beginnings. 😊😊

I agree @czechglobalhosts! All travel takes time and struggle step by step,Thank you for sharing and glad to meet you my friend ...

Good luck.
Thank for sharing 😊

i decided to quit my comfortable job and tried following my heart, everyone taught i was crazy and loosing my mind but i am better off today. i am so glad i took that major step

As with most other ancient Chinese thinkers, Lao Tzu's way of explaining his ideas often uses paradox, analogy, appropriation of ancient sayings, repetition, symmetry, rhyme and rhythm. The writings attributed to him are poetical and dense. In this quote, Lao Tzu is trying to express that great things start from humble beginnings. In the original, the text refers to "1,000 li journey". A li is an old Chinese measure of distance which converts to 360 miles or 576 km.e.

@czechglobalhosts great article

Good post freinds

many small steps often equals a giant step

I just want to say that Drops make the ocean :)

Every journey in life starts from a single step or stage,

I remember when I wanted to learn some programming language. At first I thought it will take me years to even know the basic aspect, but I was determined and I made up my mind to start and follow a simple algorithm( step by step) , after few months I was amazed at how far I have gone.
The bottom line is whatever we tend to do in life,never be carried away by how big it is, make up your mind to achieve it, and don't see it as obstacle, just focus and keep working, in a matter of time you will get there.
Focus! You will get there.

Good appointment. The famous first big step

The Confucius quote that pushed me forward to starting the journey here. Granted I'm just beginning, but I know that I have a ton to learn here. Keep doing what you do, Good luck!

Hmmm... I remember when I posted my first inspirational article on my Facebook wall a few years back and it looked like I only spoke to myself.

Now, as soon as I click "done", someone is either liking or commenting.

When you take the first step, keep going and you'd be amazed how far you've gone when you look back...
