A letter of gratitude to Pharesim

in witness •  7 years ago 

Since I’ve been here pharesim has been in the top 20 witnesses. He’s a whale and a Dev and it makes him a good potential candidate. What I think has helped him excel is his kindness and generosity. Since the very early days of Minnowsupport he has followed our votes and helped spread just a little bit more cheer to 1500 minnows every day. This is a very selfless act. He could be raking in rewards with a big bidbot all to himself, but instead he basically chooses to forego helping himself to help the many.

Someday we all have to realize that in the pursuit of wealth we either live in an endless wheel of always wanting more or staking a flag in the ground, saying we have enough, and helping other people. Pharesim is one of several whales to do that and one of several witnesses to do that. There are not too many examples of whale witnesses that approach it this way.

So for your help along the way I say thank you. For keeping the chain going I say thank you. For building apps and spreading steem I say thank you. For spreading your rewards to many I say thank you.

It’s been an honor to serve along side of you, I’ve seen your approach of giving, I have received and will pay it forward, and as you retire your witness I’ll be one of many to keep building this beautiful chain.

Namaste brother Pharesim and thank you for your work, your time, your approach, and your kindness.

Thank you aggroed, this means a lot to me. Keep doing what you're doing!

I've been on Steemit for 6 months and I'm still a plankton and I still have a lot to learn. I've received support from Pharesim through minnowsupport and I appreciate it. My goal is to become a developer and to build projects that can either entertain or help people.

Greetings from Mexico.

The time @pharesim Has voted my post is uncountable, keep up the good work sire.

Nice it's great

Thank you, for speaking what is in our hearts... @Pharesim led by example and will be missed.

These are wise words, @aggroed, and extend well beyond Steemit:

Someday we all have to realize that in the pursuit of wealth we either live in an endless wheel of always wanting more or staking a flag in the ground, saying we have enough, and helping other people.

Namaste 🙏🏼

No doubt, @pharesim makes his presence known to the minnows far and wide. Over the past year I've seen and also received support from him and some of those moments were tough-steemin times. I appreciate all of you who make this place not suck 😉 I mean, it's not Facebook!

Those who will come to carry the Steemit Witness torch should always remember those who did it well and with grace.
THANKS 10

STEEM ON

Normally, vote exchanging has been a reality from the earliest starting point. I need to tally myself liable of having checked before straightening out my votes previously.
I continued revealing to myself that with progressing dispersion the issue will vanish after some time.
As I for the most part endeavor to go about as dependable as conceivable with my situation as a major partner and witness, this continued causing torments in the course of the most recent two years.

make this thank you very well speaks of you dear friend @aggroed, congratulations, especially @Pharesim for the great work he does in this platform
I take the opportunity to wish you a beautiful weekend

Thanks @pharesim, @aggroed and all the others who have dedicated time and effort to keeping this beautiful engine running.
More power to your elbows!

Wow! Great people @pharesim! You deserve it! 😁

That's a nice tribute... as well as a nice reminder of the value of knowing when you have "enough," you can turn to helping others... rather than continuing to mindlessly accumulate beyond your needs.

I've never been on with witness issues on steemit but I could recall telling a set of Steemians that I would never take Pharesim out of my witness list.

I believe a witness is a leader and one who should display some kind of integrity and impartiality. Pharesim exhibits all these attributes.

There was once one witness organized a meaningless contest that got his name viral and failed to carryout the goals of the contest and I said to myself, was this a way of helping minnows or helping himself?

Pharesim has shown devotion and helpfulness in his course and these are the requirements I think should place one on the witness list generally.
There's alot more to say. But words alone cannot contain the rewards that await him for his great commitment on steemit.

TeamPharesim

I too, am grateful for all the benefits reaped from your benevolence. More power to your elbow.

For a well respected @aggroed to be giving honour to a well respected @pharesim, it shows that even amongst whales, there are giants, and there are GIANTS.
Truly @pharesim stands tall as a GIANT, bigger than the rest in this great sea of mixed and diverse sorts, with his selflessness and magnanimity... An exemplary steemit lifestyle which should be emulated at all levels. I am motivated to live like you @pharesim... I will get there surely! Everyday i spend on steemit draws me closer to my day of selfless living, and purposeful living for others. In the meantime, i will keep doing the little unnoticed good acts which i can do at my level.

Your post must be resteemed @aggroed. It is worth it ! And you deserve much more than you let on. Cheers!

I remember votes from @pharesim . He make us happy by their kindness and votes.

Thank you for you support and love. Keep the good work on.

Thank you for information. Thank you @pharesim and @aggrored.

He's a fuckin' beauty for sure. Love Pharesim. :D

Badass words man. Well said. I've been blessed by his generosity at one point and learned from his posts. You couldn't have said it better.

Thank you both! I want to upvote many posts, but my vote isn't much. So using your minnowsupprt vote on a post with small payout really makes a difference and cheers people up <3 :)
