It was a hot July... good old 2016!
I lazily looked YouTube at a blue screen...
Then I decided to read some crypto news -
There it was written that I should choose.
Steemit - the only right choice as they say!
And I began to try my luck... day by day...
I wrote and waited... soon I will be rich!
Even asked my wife for help (she is a witch).
I woke up very early and ran to my PC,
But only meager zeros again waiting for me!
My flame started to fade away... frustration grew.
But one good person said to me - keep doing what you do!
He taught me how to be more patient, reach the star!
Helped earn and grow... and helps so far!
Despite this, I did stupid things - sold steem :(
When it went up, all-district heard my scream!
And what advice can I give you my friend?
Do not give up! Your post will be in "trend"!
One day, success will come to you!
Keep calm, and doing what you do!
Sincerely, Terry Craft.
Of course, the success comes from the long patience
Nice words .. Thank you

Perfectly inspirational!
With so many newcomers to the Steemit platform in the last few weeks, it's great to add that little bit of encouragement behind their efforts to build their news accounts!
Everyone had to start at the beginning, and we shouldn't lose sight of that while we're deep in the trenches working hard to post great content everyday.
Here's there line I liked best:
The best advice is to just keep at it with a great attitude and ya can't go wrong!
Thank you @terrycraft for your continued contributions to the community, your posts are always a joy to look forward to.

This is a fun but serious message and deeply appreciated. The calmer and more consistently you delve into your own value and point of view, the better things get. When you are true, truth seeks you out and the relationship is so satisfying and comfortable. Good naturally comes of it.

Great poem, Terry! You've certainly come a long way. This story is relatable to almost everyone here.
I see you as one of those Steemians who really has it together. You kept at it, found a good niche, and now you're able to help wrench creativity out of more hesitant souls. Wonderfully inspiring. When I first started, even being a minnow seemed out of reach. But like you, I kept at it, and it's going great!
Who's the good person that gave you that great advice last year? You don't have to say if you don't want. Just wondering if I knew them.. always needing more good people to follow.

HI, Chris!
I really believe that people should help each other if they have the opportunity! So I'm doing what I'm doing :) I'm always worried that someone will say - and who is this Terry? What right does he have to judge poetry? What does he think of himself?
The man who noticed me - gavvet. I am indebted to him! This also influenced me... he helped me, then I will help another! I hope that most people will stick to this, not just a lust for money!
