Thoughts, Words and Photos (Thirty seven)

in photography •  7 years ago 

There are movements happening, there are signs everywhere. Has anyone noticed the little changes, the glitches in the matrix? For the last couple of days the Rewards tab showing curation/author rewards has been returning false information, numbers much lower than they should be. There have been auto-hide filters applied to memos from accounts deemed harmful but, blink and they are gone. Testing.

I like these times. I like the guessing at what could be travelling along the pipelines and I like thinking what it could mean for the future of the platform, what it might mean for my future on the platform. All changes have consequences and will spider out into the space to put pressures on all other things they touch. The repercussions are unsure but, the reverberations are often the same.

Changes imposed are often followed by a deluge of complaints as some deem themselves harmed or judge the gain of others as too high. How long the disruption freezes a person depends as some learn what has changed and immediately start exploring whilst others dwell in what they have decided was a loss. How do they know before understanding the shift?

Why not explore first and then make up the mind rather than make up the mind based on the limited information of what is already known? This is the problem with using intuition as it is not a look into the future, it is a memory of the past and when it looks at something it has no experience of, it will become scared and say no.

How many times have we said no to something only to find that perhaps we were too hasty, too quick to condemn and dismiss, how many times must we watch the early adopters try fast and fail early, learn and try again? Perhaps it is time I adopt early, move quickly, benefit while others are frozen?

I do not know if I have what it takes to do this or, if I need someone to make the first move but, I am watching the matrix glitch and I am preparing myself to learn and fail fast. I have been frozen too many times before but there is stillness now, instead of rest, I am stretching my muscles, warming up to take the leap.

Taking that step in itself will provide a victory, one over the self.

We don't have think about the changes and testing happening on the blockchain, the point is that now we have an extra layer of safety on Steemit and that makes the platform even better & secure.Congrats to Steemit Inc for implementing it!

From your article , you were taking about a glitch in the system , perhaps steemit, and then you switched to talking about being an early bird, being an early adopter and taking the step fast...I dint quite get the gist.

Is the glitch a positive sign we all have to look out for or were you talking about something different ???

something is changing, be prepared.

Now my heart raced and the blood pumps even faster.
So much we talk about changes but whenever we get winds of it, that feeling of uncertainty sets in.
Well, I only hope it will be all good, but whatever comes, I'll be ready.

something is changing, be prepared.

¡The oracle has spoken!


@sistem & @lordjames ¿Have you seen both of what year is that TVset?

How much are you prepared to sacrifice?
How much can you lose?
Do you wanna explore and risk it all?
Or you just wanna hole up in your fortress and play it safe?
Take today the road less travelled
And that will make all the difference.

first of all i would like to thank you about the article and the beautiful photos as well even i didn't understand some words, but generally i do love your posts and your select of words, the scentence you end up the article is such a meaningful one, Taking that step in itself will provide a victory, one over the self.
have a great day

First of all, let me start by saying that the pictures used above are really heartwarming. When you talked about the concept of travelling in along a pipeline, I was really matching it with the beautiful view of the pictures.

Now back to my point of interest...

How many times have we said no to something only to find that perhaps we were too hasty, too quick to condemn and dismiss....

I have personally been a victim of this, they were things I said no to in my life of which I shouldn't have in the first place. Sometimes, we say no because we don't want to take risks, we say no other times because we can't even analyze the risks and other times we say no because we feel it will make become a genius or great as people find it difficult to say "no" in most instances.
However, it is very pertinent to say no when necessary and to say yes when needful. What is really important, is carefully analyzing and knowing what to say no or yes to per time.
This was a beautiful piece, well done.

Inspired post @tarazkp taking risk can fall in two parts either loss or gain...risk sometimes leads to success while in other hand leads to failure...no one can predict risk and sometime delay is also dangerous thanks for steemit just to put more effort and work effectively that is steemit risk...and shout out to the great steemians helping the minnows to be more motivated on steemit @tarazkp you are such a wonderful leader....

People have a natural resistance to change due to a number of reasons, such as potential loss of status and fear of the unknown. Acceptance of changes is one of the things where our thinking processes need to overcome or innate instincts. Amazing photos!
