🎉 Happy New Year Everyone! 2017 has been an amazing and jam-packed year for myself and I'm sure it has been for many of you as well! 🎉
Every year I like to write down some of the most important things that happened to me throughout the year and I also like to ask myself a few questions and compare my answers from year to year.
I'd love to hear your responses to these questions and I'll also be sharing my responses in the comments below.
- If I were writing a book about my life what moment, event or person would I name as being the highlight of 2017?
- What is one of the most interesting things that I have learned this year?
- What am I most looking forward to in the coming year?
Please take this time to also reflect on the past year and think about all the abundance and great things that have happened to you. Focus on the good and learn from the bad. Exit 2017 with a positive reflection while you enter 2018 with exuberant joy for an even better future!
Technology, cryptocurrency, Steem and much more are going to have an amazing 2018 and I look forward to sharing this upcoming year with everyone here! Your support is what makes this all possible, and I couldn't be more grateful for it!
1). My highlight of 2017 is joining Steemit which allowed me to start building this amazing community!

Winning WEGO Health's 'Rookie of the Year' Award for my advocacy work with people who have ostomies.
That I'm stronger than I thought possible. Many time I have pushed myself or been pushed to breaking point and still survived to see the sun rise the next day. Will it matter in 5 years. I think not.
Growing my footprint on #steemit and finding a way out if my traditional job.
Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing you around the blockchain.

Thank you for sharing what you learned through 2017. It seems ironic that you won an award for your work in ostomies but want to leave your job now. Still I know what you mean by you want to find a way out of your traditional job. After graduation I worked a year in a lad studying tumor suppressors in graduate school. I though it would be interesting and useful to society but after just a few months I found it to be the most tedious worked I ever put my hands to. I kept a group of transgenic mice and isolated and analyzed their RNA on gel phoresis. After one year I couldn't stand it and came to Korea as a teacher. Here I was challenged and began to grow. I hope the best for you in 2018.

Thank you & you too. My traditional job isn't with ostomates (people with an ostomy). I work as an accountant. I hope to leave that to do more within the ostomy community.

(2-3)"What did I learn and what am I looking forward to?"
This year will be the year @mineopoly mines the heart. I learned from 2017 that only one kind of currency is profitable to mine. This is not XMR. The one currency profitable to mine is my own heart. By the end of 2018 I will be successful in mining my heart so that I will be able to begin to mine the hearts of others. I got rid of mining crypto this year and will focus on reading. This is the last week I will post on Steemit twice a day. From next week I will write only once a day. This will be more profitable and allow me time with family. Don't worry. I will still write thoughtful comments here. This one place that stirs me to think and rewards me for thinking. I'm glad to see more people participate here at @khaleelkazi blog. This is one of the places I will take time to mine my heart in 2018. I give my thanks to everybody who participates.

Thank you so much for your continued support and activity in the community, it is appreciated more than you know! I'm glad to hear that you'll be doing more introspection this year, I also plan to spend more time reading and learning! 2018 will be a great year for me financially, but I also want to make sure that financial rewards don't get in the way of intellectual ones. It's been a pleasure to meet you and here's to a brighter future that we will build together! 🥂

First of all, Wishing you and your family a wonderful New Year and more energy to write more blogs and comments in the new year.
Coming to your questions as retro,
If I were writing a book about my life what moment, event or person would I name as being the highlight of 2017?
I would like to write about the moment I was introduced to Steemit by @composer and my journey on Steemit so far, that has to be one of the biggest moments of my life as that made me so busy that, I spend most of my day on Steemit, writing blogs, replying to comments and writing comments on the posts I like. Ofcourse, rewarding those good posts is always there.
What is one of the most interesting things that I have learned this year?
I use to write blogs earlier, but in this last 97 days of journey on Steemit, I learned to write blogs in a better way and made so many good friends and got to read so many nice blogs that only made me a better a blogger and writer, thanks to Steemit and wonderful people here.
What am I most looking forward to in the coming year?
I am looking to write blogs on different topics and write as much more as possible and interact with many guys via comments and reply. Improving my Steem Power to be of more helpful to those who write original contents and good contents is another aspect I am looking forward to.
Thanks for asking those questions and helping ourselves to set goals at the beginning of this New Year.
Wishing again a Happy and Prosperous New Year. :)

Thank you @khaleelkazi, yes the year 2018 began on a good note, we can Steem shooting above 8 and SBD is always around $10. It's not just the money, the more newer people means better circulation of Steem and that should make it more interesting.
Take care and Have a great day :)

If I were writing a book about my life what moment, event or person would I name as being the highlight of 2017? Driving off the dealer's lot in June in a new 2017 Nissan Leaf. Having the opportunity to drive an electric vehicle the past six months has been a wonderful experience.
What is one of the most interesting things that I have learned this year? That all fiat currencies eventually go to zero. Usually very quickly once the hyperinflation starts.
What am I most looking forward to in the coming year? The continuing adoption of cryptocurrencies worldwide, and seeing their positive effect in areas government manipulation and hyperinflation.
Happy new year to all!

Oh yeah, the past year 2017 was very generous to the events and most of all I remember the rapid take-off of Bitcoin, the Steem and other crypto-currencies. Also I have a lot of information about the SMT and this topic is interesting to me. In the future of 2018 I wish that all the Crypto-currencies would become stronger and more expensive!

Happy New Year Big Brother @khaleelkazi. Sorry for the late response. This New Year I want to continue to post one of my art works each day. This is my painting of Mount Baekdu in North Korea. Now the leader in North Korea thinks that his grandpa descended from the sky to this mountain. He is out of his mind. Anyway a mountain is a good way to start the New Year!

3). I'm really excited about crypto as a whole, but more specifically about SMTs and Steem. As many of you know, I'm building an education system of sorts that will run based on it's very own SMT. This system will reward people with its own cryptocurrency for learning and engaging with thoughtful content. It's what the formal education system should look like in my eyes: paying people to learn about things that are actually interesting to them!

Happy new year u too @khaleelkazi.
People expects Many expectations in the new year . In personal life, social life, state life It is hard to tell what the domestic and international situation will be in 2018 right now. The expectation of the common people will bring the new year for the Bengali people and the world. There will be a lot of positive events in society. On the first day of the new year, people are always waiting for a new hope. It is a matter of accounting for the country and the people, which are outside the account of the people and the amount of deposits. It is much more important in national life. We want to hope that everyone will try every aspect of the new year to maximize the use of each person from their own position. Not only this, our motherland Bangladesh will go ahead with our joint efforts.

2). The most interesting thing I learned this year is that perfection is not always a good thing. As a perfectionist, I find it hard to put out a lot of posts without constantly second-guessing myself and tearing apart my own ideas. One of the most influential people I look up to recently said, "Great content is the TRUTH not the lighting." - Gary Vaynerchuk.
One of my New Year's resolutions is to worry less about the "lighting" of my posts and worry more about what I'm actually saying. My goal is to speak the truth about what is on my mind without sugar-coating or refining and second-guessing every move I make.

Focus on the good and learn from the bad. Top 10 in my life philosophy! (I don't always follow it, but it is a great idea nonetheless).
Having found the strength to keep on fighting even when I thought there was nothing to be done. 2017 was a rough year for my country. I'm aware some have it worse, but this hopelessness is something we're not used to. It took a toll on us, and having gone through this year and still having some strength to keep going seems like a good thing to highlight.
To find peace in the middle of despair. It sounds dramatic, but trust me, is a great skill to have.
*What am I most looking forward to in the coming year?
I look forward to freedom. In whatever form it might come.
Best wishes and lots of knowledge for 2018!
