GREAT THINGS TAKE TIME

This is a story of an Idiot

There was a fellow who has no idea about how the world works. Hell, He does not have any Idea what is he doing here on the Steemit. Yes, I am that Idiot

No so long ago I found this platform through the google search. And within no time I understood that it is the hot stuff, And things are happening. With that in mind, I started my steemit quest. A brave soldier with many goals to achieve and with many milestone to cross. A soldier who has dreamt of slaying the mighty internet with his posts and who had given up on the 3rd day. YES on the 3rd day.

Reason?

My posts were not getting attention. I was not getting Upvotes or recognition from the fellow clan member, I mean Steemians. My post would sit there for days without anybody looking into it or care to read. Hell, It was so bad that I didn't receive any "Nice post, Thanks for sharing" or "Nice post, Follow me and I'll follow you". I know, Bad Luck Brain may have looked at my post and thought thank god I am not the only one.

To make things worse my English was there to choke me down. Yes, the lack of vocabulary and grammar didn't help either. I am sure most reader losses their interest because of my poor grammar and sentence forming.

But that is not the only reason.

The main reason for my post to not taking off can be identified as lack of clarity. It took me awhile to understand that one should know what is he aiming for. He should know why is he doing, what he does? Just like shooting an arrow or a gun. If you shoot without aiming you surely will miss the target. Unless you are Idris Elba from that weird movie. No wait, in fact, he also aimed.

And I need to write with my heart. I had forgotten that it takes time and lots of practice to be perfect in anything.

My English may take time but I have taken it upon myself to make my goals clear and aim for it. And my aim to contribute to this wonderful platform and to bring positivity among people who have dishearted and given up. To motivate them to be more than what they are now. And hopefully to bring joy through these posts.

Hey bro! Don't stress too much, it's always very difficult starting from nothing. You'll get there with time.
As for your English? I'm not gonna lie to you and say it's perfect - but that's just a matter of time and practice! Don't worry about that at all.

On my blog I'm gonna try a post in Dutch, a language I'm learning but still weak on. No doubt I'm gonna make lots of mistakes, but I'm gonna give it a try anyway!

I promise your English is better than my Dutch, or Hindi for that matter! :P

Thank you, I am trying my best to be better than who I was. I am just starting to get this from writers perspective. And I am going to need all the help that o can get.

Aur koi baat nahi Hindi mein hum aapki maddad kar denge. :D
