I just got a “sensible” idea about a joke one of my group mates shared on our GC. Thank you @g10a because if not because of you I will not be able to start this contest at an instant!😄😄😄. This will be the second round or Week 2.
If you want to check the winner of the first round you may visit HERE.
After the success of the first round, I got more than 30 responses to my first question of the week, I decided to make this as a regular weekly challenge.
What am I looking in here is the best answer to the question, a question that generally derived from realities of life. Things that we do or usually encounter in our day to day lives.
Perhaps we would learn from those answers and maybe get some hints on relevant things that we should do in life, in every situation, in any circumstances.
The answer that I find the best of all will receive 5 STEEM (my initial prize hopefully will be increased soon).
This contest will run for 7 days starting today up to February 24.
The Rules:
Share your valuable thoughts/answer to the “QUESTION OF THE WEEK” in the comment box below. You may attach photos to your answer.
Your answer should be not less than 2 sentences although you can submit a long comment/answer as you like.
One #steemit account is allowed to submit a maximum of 3 entries. Submitting 4 or more will disqualify you to win this contest.
Like many others I also would like a free endorsement so you need to re-steem this post to qualify, I wanted to reach more people to get a chance to increase the prize in the next round.
Winners will be announced within 24 hours from every end date.
For this round, I am expecting similarities of answers but I will pick the best presentation. You will be rated on how you present your answer.
Thank you for participating!

If there is one material thing that I cannot live without, then that would be my inhaler: Ventolin Rotacaps Inhaler.
I've been asthmatic since I was a toddler. I was instructed not to eat this and that, not to do this and that. But since I’m a stubborn fella, I want to do the things that I’m prohibited to eat and to do. If my nose circumference starts to expand and I'm hardly breathing with a whistle, then hello inhaler it is.
I have two inhalers but this one is my favorite. It works like a nebulizer. And, there is a 0.5% chance that I’m going to forget to bring my inhaler. If that 0.5% happens, a drinking straw or the body of a pen will do.
Right now, I haven't taken my inhaler for alomst 2 months already and it's a good news. However, asthma is a dangerous respiratory disorder so it's a must that whenever and wherever I go, it should be on my sling bag.
Oh I didnt know and good you were able to indulge yourself into dancing. What i know if you have ashma you shouldnt get tired.
Anyway dont ever forget to bring that inhaler.
My doctors in Iligan forbid me to eat chocolates, mango etc etc and not to do tiring things like dancing. When my mother decided to change my doctor, (in CDO), I was very happy. Hehe. My doctor told me that I can eat anything and do anything, iff, I have my inhaler, Seretide. And if I'm at rest I'm more prone to asthma attack. How ironic.
haha good doctor
What is the one material thing that you cannot live without?
I can't live without... INTERNET!!!
Simply because... when there's no internet, there's no steemit, there's no life!
Man, there are so many things we can do with the internet. Socialize, gain more friends, share your photos, STEEMIT!! play online games, have fun, chat with the gang, earn money!! gather news, do online research, learn more about cryptos, yeah!! how can I live without it? what's the use of your device if it doesn't have an internet connection? darn... that's... bboooring....! :)
haha nice...
That's also my answer internet, hahaha ngita nalang ko lain.
Like your game
This are the thing who i have valued so much. God use theme to care for me.
Even in my weakness and strenght they almways at my side.
Show them back the love, let them feel you love them more than any other things around.
one material thing I cannot live without is my phone, it helps me connect to the world, sometimes I'm all sad and lonely friends won't even be there to cheer you up, but I can take up my phone maybe call somebody very inspirational and they will cheer me up, my phone, anyday any time
Thanks for your answer...
the one material thing that I cannot live without is my bed:) I love to sleep always:)
Haha nice, thanks for participating!
ang cute
Will definately join again. Awsome contest
Good Day @long888. Thanks for thjs wonderful contest that you are running.
My answer for the question what is that one material thing i cannot live without ?
My Iqama its very hard to lived here in middleEast you must have a resident card for yoir identity or you will be in jail.
@khenbee
Oh I never thought about my iqama haha, I should consider it as the one thing I cannot live without while in KSA.
The one material thing I simply cannot live without are my glasses because I guess without them I would probably be unable to read this post in the first place.
Hehe me too, my glasses is one of the things I need to bring every day.
One material thing that I can't live without--- is money... I can't buy my basic needs, for instance food etc. Practically, we need it in our daily lives to survive. It doesn't mean I'm in love with this thing, but it can help other people when in needs. Though money can't buy happiness, people still need it.
Hmm, I am thinking about living a life without money but everything is provided, is it possible?
maybe if we live in a forest with lot of resources and hunt some animals, or in an island catching fish and eating some fruits, seems like old times sir, healthy lifestyle, no technology and no war against money ehhehehehe jus a simple life but happy.
yes i want to go back to that time...
Money
Hmm, how about no money but with a lot of steem/SBD? hehe
I can't live without mosquito net at my feet while sleeping, If I can't sleep I soon to die that is why so important to me, it is addicted lol😊
haha i personally know someone like you i think 2 or 3 of them
Hindi po ako sasali alam ko ng ako winner, idonate ko na lang prize hahaha wala naman ako nabasang bawal magyabang 😂😂😂
o nga no ano gawin ko edit ko nalang? haha dami naman gumagawa wala namang sanction hehe
Oo nga at mismong mga butanding pa nga nakikita ko eh inedit ko rin po comment ko hahahah 😂
edited, thanks sa reminder hehe di ko na memention upvote in my next contests...
There is no such thing "absolutely" without which I can't live! And I think it is true for everyone:)
But if you insist on getting an answer, then my answer would be "my laptop" which is named as "the second wife" by my wife :). I am afraid that one day she may destroy it :)
haha you're funny doc @hafiz34, don't add a third wife okay? hehe
That also has, I am afraid ;) Samsung Galaxy Note 3. With me since 2014! Both my second and third wife are in real danger!!!!
hahahaha
Well first of all I would like to thank you for this awesome contest! I just saw this contest in my feed and it looks awesome so I tried it out.
Heres my answer
I would say food but I think that doesn't count. So I'll say my Internet!
I'm sorry but its true haha ever since we had Internet aand i feel like its just the norm for us to always have it. It helps me reach out to people, message and call my family memevers and relatives use it for my entertainment and more! So that's my answer😅
In this time internet becomes very important in our lives...
Super true! I don't know if o could live without it
One material thing that I can't live without is my cloths t-shirt pants ans also the inner one hahahhaa without those material things waaaaaaaa i am all like a paralyzed just setting on the other side of the house and shy to see all of you hahhahahaha
hahahaha, you have a good point there, if you're nude you can't just walk around haha
Hhaha all of us not only me 100% this is the first material things that we needed in every second of our life hahah without this material things we are like Adan and eve hahaha hala lakad ng hubot hubad dyahe yun hiihihi
hahaha lolx.. but really true
:0 Hala go if your nude :( even you are on a shower aware ka hahahhaha diba sis @jackielouvarquez? pag totally no materials things in you? hihihihi
If there is one thing I can't live without, it would be money, if that is even considered a material. But here's the explanation. We can't possess any material in the world without money! From our basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothes, to our wants and desires, everything requires money!
Money is also the driving force for most of us! In my case, I want to earn big so I can provide a better life for my family. Being a single mom is never easy, as I have to take on both roles of being a mother and a father. It is draining physically, emotionally, and financially. Hence, working hard is not enough; I have to work triple hard just to sustain our needs and wants.
Helping others is also a thing in our family. As a family of educators, we have a big heart for kids who can't afford to go to school. So if I have much money, then I can send more kids to school by means of sponsorship.
Steemit is life, we all know that for a fact! Lol! But being here on Steemit requires great power, and the best way to have it is by investing and increasing your Steem Power. But even Steem Power demands MONEY. That's why getting higher payouts is the main goal of every Steemian. To be upvoted by someone means somebody was able to appreciate and recognize ones work, and this serves as a great motivation to do better. So if I have enough SBD, I will use it to powerup so I can help as many redfishes and minnows as I can.
Indeed, money is really something we can't all live without. Money is life! :D
Money is real hehe
For me, definitely, I cant live without my phone. It’s mainstream but It will always be my stress reliever especially when i get to talk with my friends and family. My mother once jokingly said that, my phone is like an extension of my hand and i couldnt get it off of me. :D
A lot of people cant live without their mobile phones...
Not only me but no one can live without it and it's oxygen so there I can't live without oxygen.👻👻👻
No oxygen? Everybody will die.
A side of our common daily needs which is clothes kitchen tools and materials Etc. As an OFW there is one thing that i can't live without is my mobile phone which is i used to communicate to my family in the Philippines. this is really important to me including in my works to make a to communicate to the site office if there is some important call that i did not answer i am literally going to die because they will kill me lol heheh. I use to watch a news and any social media trending. because of my phone i know what happen to the world as i am always updated through social media. and i used to check my steemit account through my mobile.
How about iqama? (:
hehe medyo need din yun pero kung mag stay aq sa bahay ng 1 day di rin need eh . pero pag ung phone ko pag di ako pumasok sa work mayat mayat mag ring un hehe.
One thing i can’t live without is my pen. I can write with it, draw with it, cut with it, do all magical things with it and the best part.. it’s a non-smudge, fast drying pen. I can’t live without my pen and no I’m not letting anyone borrow mine. You buy yours LOL.
hehe
Thank you Sir @long888.
Since i am living here abroad one material thing I can live without is my passport,because I can not assure iqama if i have no passport.Then without my passport,my siblings became professional because of my passport and I got phone to communicate my family because my employer is open minded aboutvsocisl media,,How could I found a great employer that i have now if i never had a passport?So passport give me everything to fulfill what i had promise for my family.
Thank you ...
you are right.
Good Afternoon Sir. @long888 What is the one material thing that you cannot live without? In a day where technology rules the world, many people can easily say they can't live without their cell phones. but me i cant live without Electricity 😎
No electricity no power for cp? (:
My answer derived from the word itself "live".
I live in my house, so I can't live without a house. LOL! Yes you have money, cp, internet, and clothes but you don't have shelter do you think it safe? 🤣 Even Adan and Eve survived without clothes and money. Food is already there and there were no cellphones and internet before but they still survive. What they did first was to find shelter
Good point!
Thank you 😆
I'll just give my answer as simple as this.😊
The one material thing that i cannot live without is hmm MONEY. Why? Because it is the only one material thing that you can trade almost every material thing that everyone wanted to have!
Money is power. Lets just be honest. We all know that without it, you will never get almost anything you want specially these days, you can not get anything for free anymore.
Lets give me an example.
How can you get a cellphone?
From buying it, right?
What do you need to buy it?
You need MONEY.
Same as other things you wanted to have. Small or big, long or short, hard or soft black or white. Just almost everything. 😊
I thank you. Bow!
If I were you and if it is considered as material thing, I surely cannot live without my voice, hehe
Haha! Ty, Sir :*
I can live without food, electricity, water, gadgets, etc but I can't live without sleeping mat. I need this sleeping mat in order not to feel I don't have anything, hope you get the humor sir. lol Thanks for this contest.
I don't get it haha but don't ever think you don't have anything. God has given us unique gifts, talents, skills, and even material possessions, there are things that we have which others don't, want to know what is it?
sirit sir ano po yon? ;)
hehe
For me, one material thing that I can't live without is my cup of tea.
Every day, I drink my cup of tea to keep me warm and boost my energy. I do have my own customized cup which has a face of my husband on it. I bought it when my hubby was still in Saudi. I always take a hot sip of it every morning and before dinner. I’m getting used to drinking it every day of my life. When I feel sleepy but there’s still work to be done, when getting hungry and the meal is not yet prepared, when feeling dizzy and cold sweats, and even after eating so many carbs and fats. I really don’t think I can live without a sip of my tea.
Nice story so I guess your husband is with you this time unlike before but you still use that cup hehe, I can tell how deep is your love to him.
I just had my cup of tea too!
Yes, I'm still sipping that cup of tea until now. Cheers!
First of all i would like to thanks @long888 for organising such an beautiful contest.I am glad to be here.So coming back to the question,the only material thing that i can't live without is my smartphone which helps me to connect to the people living in different countries,it is also a source of knowledge for everyone as it is providing the facility of different things most importantly internet which is the second material thing that i can't live without.Lol! Also i could become a member of such an amazing platform i.e. steemit only through internet
good point you have there, and yes I also consider my phone as one of those material things I considered I cannot live without.
first thing i thought of.. air is the first thing we need or we die. I can't hold my breath for very long, so if survival/u can't live without is the question, air has to be the first and most vital thing..
*image found on pixabay
Ahahahahahaha!
I agree. Air or oxygen.
What is the one material thing that I could not live without?
Basically, it's "WATER...." To satisfy one's thirst especially now that it is Summer already.... Without water, our body becomes weak and we will have no energy at all to think, write, post, upvote, and re-steem.... Good Luck to us!
You have a point there but I am not sure if water, as well as food, can be considered as a material thing in so far as this contest is concerned because without those things we will die literally.
One material thing I cannot live without is my mobile phone. As an OFW, it is my way of diverting my attention from missing home. With my phone I can read stories, communicate with my loved ones back home, listen to music and watch movies when at home. I just can’t imagine my day off without my phone with me 🙄
We have the same story being both an OFW...thanks for your answer...
I could not live without my phone for three reasons.
First, it has the apps that I need including the Bible which is very essential for my spiritual life.
Second, I am working on my phone, and it's what I usually use for Steeming.
Three, I have all my contacts on it, and I can easily communicate to people that I need to contact through my phone.
A lot of people including me consider our mobile phones as something part of our basic needs that without it we can't live at least normally.
Two of you mentioned Bible, I just can see how close you are to God for keeping His words within reach.
We live in a world where people are very dependent on every material thing available. There are a lot of things that we are enslaved with in this modern world, but for me, one material thing that I cannot live without are my clothes.
It is easy to say that clothes are one of life's necesities since humans are capable of logical thinking, hence, the idea of going around naked is unthinkable. We cover ourselves with clothes because we keep our bodies private and personal.
However, aside from that, clothes present themselves as a marker of our true persona. I believe that what we wear is who we are precisely because how we present ourselves through the way we dress is a subtle way of showing people a glimpse of our true character. dressing nice is vital because when you look good, you actually feel good. And that positive energy radiates towards the people that surrounds you. On the contrary, when you dress badly, it will show.
So for me, I can't live with a lot of material things, But on top of all those are my clothes. :)
You are the second person who answered clothes...check @jie28's comment it really made me smile...
I will check his comments too sir. :) thank you for appreciating my comment @long888
HAHAHAHAHA he has a point
If there is one thing that I cannot live without ? Then, it would be my BAG 😏 everything you guys just mentioned is on my bag at this very moment. Name it and I have it (glasses, phone, laptop, money, pocket wifi and etc..) haha I just need them everyday no kidding. @pinay wala din po akong nabasang bawal mag yabang 😅 @long888 #thelivingproofofDORAsBAG
hahaha, good sinama mo na lahat hehe
For me,it's definitely my camera without my camera i can't live a single moment.
As photography is my passion and dream to be a professional photographer,and to overcome and to success i think i should go further hardworking and trying with my camera,and my answer is definitely correct for me,to get success in life.
And it should be just in a one word my 'camera'.
You have point there my friend but I think you can still live without it, theres just something important that is lacking...
Yeah bro you are right.
But for me it is like my heart.
ok
Money. Because I will be needing it to buy other material things I cant live without :)
If basic needs arent privided, id go with fruits cause it can help me survive for the rest of my life.
If basic necessities are already provided, i cant survive without any Music Player cause life without music is dull and boring.
@long888
music player, i guess you're also a musician, join openmic my friend.
wow 70 comments so far! congrats sir.. this is a success!
The question is definitely hard to answer because we have a lot of necessities in life considering our basic needs are more than one.
But if I could select one, that would be money. This is not about being a slave to money but it is the best solution to live. If I have enough cash, I can buy the basic things needed to live. I could also share it to my family and even to the community.
That's it and I, thank you!
I was only thinking about simple material things like cellphone but I got a lot more interesting answer hehe
hahaha.. you bet sir...
what is the one material thing I cannot live without ?
First and foremost ,I would like to say thank to sir @long88 whose energy is always up here in steemit especially in la fam of achievers . 😁😁😁 so here is my answer.
WATER
Water is one of the 5 basic elements of the universe and human as we are we can't live without it. I have read an article that if you exercise yourself drinking a glass of water an hour before you take your meal it will help you reduce weight .Drinking water is not just beneficial in our health but in many ways it can be.
Water is also beneficial in agriculture, for animals to maintain their body fluids and many more. Water reminds me that life repeats.It's the only element that has a visible cycle.
Thanks for sharing some important facts about water, honestly I'm not fond of drinking water even if I know how important it is in our body, so that means i can still live without water 😁
It's hard to decide which one item because I always carry with me a lot of things for survival. LOL But there is one perhaps that is most important. I can't live without my anti-hypertension meds. I have bad kidneys and kidneys control blood pressure. I always carry with me 2 types of hypertension meds, one is Amlodipine 10mg for blood pressure above 140 up to 180 and another one called Clonidine for when my blood pressure spikes 180 up to beyond 200. The first one is my maintenance medication that I need to take daily and the second one is an emergency medicine, I can take it when I am having so much discomfort of having high BP already like blurred vision, headache, chest pains, and a lot more, it can be taken without water. It just needs to be placed below my tongue until it melts. I can leave the house without my celfone but I cannot leave the house without my emergency meds.
Good that you were able to survive such a very high BP. you should not forget to bnring your meds then...
For me, the ONE material thing I cannot live without is the BIBLE. Among all books in the whole wide world, only the Bible can give us transformation. Why I cannot live without it? It is because the Bible is the source of life. Yes we live in this world freely but we cannot deny the truth that there will be another life after death. Through this Book of Life, it gives a purpose in my life. This world may pass away but His Word will forever remain.
Appreciate you having a strong belief with the Bible, truly it is man's guide to heaven.
My Answer Is "Food"
A trustworthy friend and a daily shower.
The most important thing that I cannot live without is my pen.
I agree to the saying "the tongue is sharper that the sword".
Before we use sword and guns to be powerful, but for centuries it shows that words are more powerful cause it can directly hit emotions that can be untollerable than the physical pain. It changed the world drastically.
The mind is so powerful and to make it tangible we write down our ideas. I understand that we have the modern technology now days to make notes and type our thoughts. I still find it fascinating and very relaxing when I write down using my pen. I find it more convenient than my laptop and phone. In my profession as a teacher I use my pen every now and then. Organizing my schedule, taking down notes, making records and also making some drafts on steemit.
I love to doodle using my pen a paper. In my case it eases my anxiety. If we speak about money well I started from scratch here on steemit. Money come and go. The unlimited resources of money that I have now is my thoughts and ideas and my pen helps me a lot to do the work so it may be the cheapest yet the most valuable thing that I have.
Thank you very much for this valuable answer. I really appreciate the long explanation.
Just one question, is it okay to replace your pen if its lost?
Not really but if I really need to write something good will buy the same brand and model. It's like loosing the pair of my favorite shoes. Each pen is unique. I am glad I am good at keeping my pen this past few years. Having a pen that ran out of ink is an achievement for me. Wierd but I keep my empty pens.
i cant leave without shelter :)
When are the results are to be declared.
I guess it was today and where the results
Can i still join? Oh, I suggest to add the time zone for the next contest deadline. 😉
As for the material thing I can't live without, it will be the router, because it is the source of internet. 😂
