in steembasicincome •  6 years ago  (edited)

Hello fello Steemians amd welcome to hard fork 20!

tin-895942_1280.jpgsource

I have no idea what happened there, but I lnow from reading on line that people were talking about a hard fork and this was the 20th one for steemit.

Do we all need to know how steemit and the chain works in its entirety? I don't think so... but we should try to create as genuine and as best content as we can.

If you lile to write, if you're a content creator and of you simply love life you don't need to know the ins and outs of the blockchain... just keep creating, keep following your passion and you will be successful!

This was my response to @papa-pepper's post some months back.


If you don't like your surroundings, change them
If you don't like your situation, change it.
If you don't like your decisions, make different ones.
All of this leads to the life that YOU want to lead, not the one others want you to lead.

Life is like chess, always try and think at least 5 moves ahead, and if you can see the dead ends you can avoid them.

This is such a great idea that people don't seem to get all that much. It's difficult to think tjat in the end, we all jave the final say for the decisions we make... I wish more of us knew that voting with our feet can bring so much change. Nice Chess anology!

Dreams Are Ideas Put Into Motion!

This is from an article I haven't published yet (will in the next day or two probably), but I think it emphasizes a really important way to improve society.

"A lot of people seem to think that skepticism is a vice - and certainly not a virtue - but these people overlook the societal good that comes from skepticism. Skepticism doesn't mean not believing in anything or having no values, it means acknowledging the limits of our knowledge - knowing that we all have something to learn and that we can never assume that our first impression is right. It is about making sure that we do not hurt people and spread lies because they are convenient or fit a narrative we want to believe. It is about seeking out, and demanding, evidence for claims. It is about educating ourselves. It is about fact-based beliefs and policies. Imagine how much better off society would be if more people followed this worldview."

Ah learning... yeah it's difficult to thinkbwe don't know everything! Evennwhen mastering a skill, there's always something to be learned from someone else. Nice one

"Reflecting upon the nature is reflecting upon yourself." You can also view this quote in my photoblog here https://steemit.com/photography/@himalayannomad/reflecting-upon-the-nature--2018-09-20-12-02-33

Very nice, Nature could reflect upon us too if we didn't think of ourselves as something apart from it!

Thanks.. Yeah! That's a precondition :)

Nothing in your life will change if you don't change

Well said. Change starts right in your heart

Nice one! I wish more people would follow their heart

Rentmoney

I am so lazy I search youtube for a black screen so I don't have to get up and turn off the T.V.

That is too funny... is it true though?

You never see a shroud with pockets, or a hearse pulling a uHaul

Sorry I didn't understand this one...

It's simple, material things are just that. You can not take them with you when you go.
Therefore, what is more important? Things or the quality of how you spend your life?

Definitively the quality of how you spend your life!

Now does it make sense?

"Be Good, Think Good and Do Good"

I've made this quote for me after i joined steemit. I'm using it in every posts that I share (except a little amount) for last 176 days.
I hope, the author of this contest will understand the specially of this quote as i do.

Thanks, I'll try to keep that one in minde! It's hard to be always positive.. but I try

trying is another thing that everyone can't do.
if you can't try then how can you do that?

just try to be positive then you'll see you'll only see positive things near you.

i see things like this.

Thanks, positivity for sure is rewarding!

There is no pump without a dump.

I think we all can relate to this one. 🤣

Lol, we sure can.... watch for the coming pump... keep posting!

Winners don't wait for luck, they just dream and work hard to make it true...

You may rage, as you please, against the dying of the light, but bellowing at the setting of the Sun will not halt it in its course; and in truth, it is but a pale shadow of the Light that awaits beyond.

Ooh very poetic. Thanks for the beautiful words

I would rather live for 30 years than make it to 100 and never have lived at all.

Party on rockstar! Lol.

I'd rather expeririece life for 30 years than live to 100 by never taking a chance.

I had to put your profound words into what made sense to me
My grandma is 108 years old. So neither of our statements ring true.
Life is an experience. What we do with that ride, is up to us.

“World take notice — STEEM will link together to form the strongest CHAIN that will be un-BLOCK-able!”

Oh cool! Thank you

Embrace both your strength and weaknesses as they knitted into one you, and you are knitted together with one another. Like in an ocean of planktons, red fish, dolphins and whales, all are knitted to form the ecosystem. So embrace your own life.

This phrase came out when I see your contest. It has been at the back of my mind for some time. :)

Thank you for the contest.

You're absolutely welcome, it's nice to have something like that come to you. We sure are all one, and we tend to forget that most of the time!

Steem contests are for my friends. They will always win as long as I am a judge image.jpeg
Sally as Fabio he had butter quotes

Nice! Not so much here... actually picked the quotes I liked!

Spare a drop water a day to a growing seedling and in return it will gift you life


I feel very philosophical now

Very nice. I like the give and and be nourished aspect here.

Don't love others like your brother, or even your neighbor. Love them like they're a part of you. That man is your ear, and that woman is your chin. You might not always be happy with every part of yourself, but you know you must take care of every part of yourself.

Beautiful

Facebook is popular, but Steemit is forever.

as in... No matter how much you love your man, it's the diamond that lasts forever.

Needs some work and a good graphic to go with it

Yes yes... interesring. Forever on the blockchain?

Forever on the blockchain is better. I feel like it needs to parts. On Steemit today, on the blockchain forever. something like that.

Ahaha lol, it sounds like it should be a commercial for steemit!

No

Being fair is more difficult than being good or bad, because it is very easy to fall to either side of the coin.

I've never had the coin fall on its edge!!! And we flip coins all the time when we don't know how to decide something!

Here are several for you to ponder.

Blockchains are becoming like opinions, everybody’s got one.

You wont live forever, so why would you waste even a minute of the time you have left, worrying about what happened last year, last week, or even yesterday.

Good music is just math mixed with emotion….

It’s all good, cause it all depends on how you look at it.

If you want to be a millionaire, ask yourself this one question. What am I doing that’s worth a million dollars?

One that I can’t claim that is one of my favorites I heard from Zig Ziglar, “If you help enough people get what they want, you can have the things that you want.” Hopefully, you’ll enjoy a few of these.

Lol, I just used one that I use on the ocassion.

All bleeding stops eventually.

It can be used in quite a few situations and is always true, one way or the other bleeding always stops. It is not necessarily positive always, but can be used in a positive manner.

True true... like the one I use a lot: in the end ot always works out!

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

All three winners will recieve a specific number of SBI, it may be equal or I may decide to give a little more to number 1.
It should be receive instead of recieve.

Where the heck have you been all my life ? 🤗

I found you @grammarnazi
Thru out this vast blockchain I have searched, spelled Things wrong, killed a dog, lobster, got bit up by spiders but alas I founds you. You know I shaved my head for you, I heard you Nazis were into baldness. Right? My name is Sally and I love authoritive verbage

Luckily, I found some pipe cleaners to make a wig. I look like I have Fabio's flowing locks
I can't believe it's not butter.
