just recently signed up with this platform seeing friends participated in this steemit. Not knowing what to do yet as I am not yet familiar with it. what can I do now is to introduce myself to know other members or people here in this platform. Hoping to be able to become familiar as quick as I can in order to contribute more in the community and be able to touch people's lives for the better. would also be happy and grateful if the members of this community would like to share how to be familiar with this platform and give their tips and tricks as far as blogging, upvoting and all the other features of this platform.
I am Brooks Crescent, currently living in Australia for some years now. it has been a challenging but good journey to this part of the globe. lots of things to learn and do. nevertheless, life has been good and find new friends and acquaintance here.
Has been in the technical services business for few months now and it's getting busy as days go by... Been enjoying the work but at times working long hours and days and not having much time for my family. income is good and is enough for the family but would like an additional income to augment the current income of my family.
Currently I am the only one in the family who is working. my wife has not been working but is looking for some job opportunities. we have 2 very active boys who are currently in school. they enjoy their school although a bit bored for the easiness of the class subjects. every time we asked the boys how they are doing in school, the normal response we are getting is that "everything is okay". it might be true because we are not seeing them study more when they are at home. no assignments is done at home so we presume that every thing is working well with our 2 kids. very seldom they asked for advise and help with their studies.
on the other note though, we are happy as a family knowing that each and every one of us love each other and care for each other and looking for opportunities to serve one another. our kids have been taught to have respect, patience and kindness towards other people. we believe that our home can be a heaven here on earth. each and everyone of us contributes towards a better family life. of course, there are challenges in our every day life. that's normal and every one will experience that in their life in one way or another. others will have more than others. Many will experience more challenges in life. There are only 2 ways to face it. Either you face it in a positive way or in a negative way..
A positive way to look at challenges is how it can make you a better person. it can also be a motivation to do a little bit more each day trying not to repeat the mistakes done yesterday. it can also be a motivation to improve each day knowing that a challenge will give you more experience and wisdom to tackle tomorrow's problems and challenges.
A negative way of looking at things to complain, whine and murmur on the current situation. instead of being challenged and motivated to do better, we blame other people for our circumstances. we complain that our current situation are destined and that it can not be changed only through big miracle and there's no other way to changed it.
Thanks for the good article
