Is STEEMIT just a waste of time?

TIME.

They say time is gold. It is very much precious so you never should waste it. You can never get back all the time wasted for doing things that shouldn't be done.

It' s already been days or a week since I have joined @steemit. It was my husband who actually introduce this site to me. At first I was really so excited to be a part of @steemit. There were lots of things on my mind. I was so happy because finally I can be able to share myself to the world.

But as I continue my journey and move my steps forward in @steemit, I started asking myself.

"Am I just wasting my precious time here?"

As both a teacher and a mother of 4, my time is very much limited. I have to wake up early to prepare myself and my kids to school. Then, I spend 8 hours facing my pupils and teaching them. I only have my 20-min breaktime for recess, an hour lunchbreak and 50-min vacant period. Those times are just intended for classroom preparation, lesson planning and checking pupils'works. When I go home, I still have to breastfeed my 8-month old baby and take care of the rest. I also have to check and supervise their homeworks. When all of my kids are asleep, that would be the time where I can write and plan my lessons for the next day. I would spend more time downloading videos to be used for my lessons so I tend to sleep very late every night. That is how my everyday life is.

So, as you can see I am such a busy bee.. But when my husband pursuade me in joining @steemit, I tried my very best to cope up, find time and make myself available to post and be connected in the site.

But now that I am already here, I'm having some doubts on myself. Questions like "Am I doing the right thing? Were my posts that bad?" keep on troubling my mind. I am doubting myself if it's still worthy of my time here. There are many whys in my mind right now.

Indeed, I am lost.

Yet, I still want to give it a shot. I still want to write. I wanted to share myself with the world. I wanted to grow as a writer, story teller and of course as a better me.

So, with this, all I wish for is a little inspiration, a hope that someday somehow I would feel the same excitement that I felt when I first joined @steemit.

Someday, somehow i would be as great as anyone here.

Because right now, even if i'm feeling a bit lost,
I still want to say that:

STEEMIT IS NEVER A WASTE OF TIME.

Done visiting the site and reading the contents...again, thank you so much for giving me hope sir @surpassinggoogle..

Thank you so much @surpassinggoogle for your support. Being a newbie in this platform is just a bit hard on my part because there is still so much to learn. At least now that I've known people like you who tries to give us newbies some hopes for us to grow here, I think I'm feeling much more motivated to continue my steemit journey..again, big thanks..

Wow, very timely post, I just started yesterday and was wondering if I am just wasting my time. Steemit is is not a waste of time.

Hmmm...yeah..I've decided to just continue my steemit journey..anyways, i still love to write.

please visit @steemsecrets

I think all of us here felt the same as what you are experiencing right now. My tips to you and all the newbies out there, do not quit steem it!! Why? This is the best platform I've ever seen in my entire life. Leave all other social media sites and let's spread steemit. You can also check my blogs especially on the first encashment that I have. By the way, I am only a month old here also but thanks to sir @iwrite for letting me in in this Very Beutiful and Supportive Group, Steemit Diversify. Just don't be shy and be able to listen to our Very Good Mentors and one day, you will have your Best Shot here!! Mark my Word!!

Thank you @ortorees1123 for your kind words.. Push natin to!! 👍👍

please visit @steemsecrets

Already followed and reading all contents and hope to post also soon. Thank you sir Terry

If you ask me, this platform is better than Facebook, Instagram or other social media platforms...because you can use only polite words, you have to behave in a proper way, and from what I saw only wise people are around here posting interesting and useful stuff. So..I`ve been here for one week only but I sure love it!

True...thanks..👍👍

Let's just wait and see...😊😊

Hi @marble20, oo nga sa una lang talaga mahirap. Once na mabuild mo na reputation mo at network mo madali ka na kikita. Ang hindi titigil sya ang magtatagumpay. Soon, tataas na ang value ng steem kaya kaylangan mag-invest na tayo ngayon ng time.

we newbie will think like that... but don't loose hope we are here your friends and team to support each other... even we loose just cheer up we will prove to world what we got... ;)

Hmmm...kta manla ngew it ngpapasupport support lwat ...😂😂😂

In my opinion Steemit is the best social site ever created.It's still in a very early stage so don't give up.Give it a shot.Instead of writing in other social platforms you can write your thoughts here and from time to time you will get the recognition you deserve.New people are joining this platform every minute.Just dont give up!Have a nice weekend!

Thank you @knowhow92 for your thoughts and words of encouragement...😊

No problem!!Have fun

I will..😊😊 steem on!👍👍

Steemit in my opinion is really an information site. If you spend your time on steemit, blogging you will not only fetch the fame but also cash your words.
Keep the spirit high and achieve your targets.
Stay blessed

Thank you...

please visit @steemsecrets

We have the same feeling, im lost too. But we have to be more motivated to be able to survive in this community. Just cheer up!

Thank you...may we both find more reasons to stay..👍👍

Good day. I'm also a newbie and fully understand where are you coming from. My mom is also a teacher and I've seen with my own eyes how difficult for it to be one. I've signed up here around aug 2017 when steem and steem dollar is only around $0.95 and I didn't take it so seriously. At first my intention is for me to earn steem/sbd and eventually exchange it with some good cash but later on I just realized that if my motivation to stay here is just for money, then I won't last. Same with my workplace where newbies earned way more than I do whose been part of the company for way more than 2 years but my motivation for staying is the happiness that I'm getting staying with the company though they are not perfect. Same here with Steemit I'm happy everytime I share photos, write article, (although I guess my grammar is not that good) sharing anything that comes into my mind. Give it a try, and don't use money as you motivation and I'll tell you that once you're happy, you posts will be too and money will follow :)

Thank you. I really love it here since I so love writing. But there are still many things which I don't know about this platform. All I know is to post my thoughts, upvote, comment and resteem other posts. There are still many things which I don't understand here. Maybe all I need is someone who could at least guide me in my @steemit journey..😊

please visit @steemsecrets

just hang in there.. no effort will be put to waste :)

Love it dear husband. Thank you mwhaah!

You're right @yanzel4lyf! Steemit will never be a waste of time. Even some of my posts earned cents i still chose to stay because being a member of this community opens you to different perspective of life just by reading the blogs here. I got also the chance of knowing inspiring people who want to share this platform to help others.

I totally agree. Being in @steemit, you will definitely learn more, gain more and experience more. So, let's keep the fire burning! #steem on sis!

we feel the same,most of the time I get discouraged posting because it seems nobody cares for you,but ive learned ideas in meet ups and I am very thankful to @steemph.cebu for encouraging and sharing thier knowledge on steemit,and also to @surpassinggoogle for his support. Someday our time here in steemit will make us great.

That's great for you. May we be inspired more to write and may we have more reasons to stay in this community...steem on! 😊😊

Indeed maam, your not wasting your time here, maybe we should wait the time to become one of the celebrities here. Keep steeming and power on.

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you. Though, it's not to be a celebrity that I am after. I'm just after my worth here...steem on!😊
