Learning the ropes

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Like anything new we, the first step is always the hardest. Often we put it off for so long, that any risk or effort we could expend in figuring out how it works or what we should do, is greatly offset by the negative cost of doing nothing. With Steemit it is the same. But luckily there are many community members that helps one along, and this makes the start easier, and makes one feel less lonely and overwhelmed. To all those that had a hand to date in helping, thanks a million. @jacorossouw, you have been specifically extensive in sharing learnings. I really appreciate it.

So who am I?
Well really I am just an ordinary joe ... I do really like to engage with the world out there, and I am that guy that will start a conversation in the bank queue. I put it down to growing up in a journalists house, and a political journalist at that. Or perhaps I am just chatty. Here I am ....

Having now learnt to format my text and upload a pic while chatting away (strange for me that), I thought perhaps I should share a little more ... not the professional stuff, just my own personal stuff ... If you are still reading, it probably means it is a slow day your side or you have been drinking. Probably both.

I love sport. I mean I REALLY love sport. Taking part, watching it, or just talking about it. So you will probably here a fair deal about that from me. That is me in the yellow shirt on a mountain bike excursion.

I love causes (my first pic being a play on Movember that I have been supporting for the better part of a decade) and I think, talk and write about things that affect us, with a very strong focus on philosophy and politics. But do not stress ... I take everyone seriously, just not all of our views (specifically mine).

So sports, philosophy and politics. Mmm ... ok. I do also share my views on business, success and technology, being a successful IT entrepreneur, and with all else my views are just that ... things formed on how I see the world, and not necessarily true. So use it or don't, criticize, contribute and add ....

And if you got to this point .... please get another drink ... you may need it.

Later you all.
