Qurator is stepping back from the dpoll race, vote for @steemitbloggers

in qurator •  6 years ago 

@scrooger & @qurator,

Now that's ... class.

Thank you for this selfless gesture. Your commentary was correct ... this would indeed mean a great deal to our group, the Power House Creatives (SteemitBloggers). We are a small group (95) of creators with a singular purpose ... Create Great Content.

And, sometimes, we feel like fools because of it.

Creating Great Content requires expending a lot of time and effort. In an era of endemic vote manipulation, sometimes one wonders, "Why bother?"

One man, gives not another man honor.
Nor, may another take it away.
Honor, and dishonor ... is something we do for ourselves.

From Our House to Yours:

Be Legend In Your Time

If you were dared to do a thing,
A thing the world would see,
A thing the world would know was yours,
That thing, what would it be?

Win or lose, this thing you'd choose,
Of you it will define,
It's how you'll be remembered,
Your fate to it consigned.

Suppose you chose to words compose,
What then would you write,
What would you say, and in what way,
Would fire your words ignite?

Would you be the peer of Ol' Shakespeare,
Would you dare to aim that high,
You'd risk the jeers of those who'd sneer,
Despite them, would you try?

Would you dare to strive for greatness,
Be Legend in Your Time,
Would you dare to be immortal,
Would you dare to be sublime?

Or would you do as all but few,
And do the lesser thing,
Good enough, but never great,
Make sounds but never sing?

Needs not the world more middling prose,
Nor more of middling men,
What still it needs are those who'd lead,
Who'd risk a Master's Pen.

So go, my friend; go risk a poem,
Others, they'll write the prose,
The world enhance, go take a chance,
Go, my friend ... compose.


House of Qurator ... we need your votes.

That was lovely! And yes you are right. The platform started off strong with a lot of quality in mind, nowadays it's kind of anything goes kinda thing. So many things wrong that people tend to turn a blind eye when it comes to all the abuse. The greedy will stay greedy and sadly they are in power. I still believe in quality and so does Qurator. Keep it going, keep it strong!

Ahem... Speak for yourself!
