Francis thank you very much for your wonderful comment. We all have to remind ourselves that work and patience do pay off, but since this pay out is long term... it is natural to forget or get frustrated!

I agree with you, Steemit is very much like that especially for the workers or minnows of the system. But it is a blessing to have to work hard to gain, because this long effort will eventually teach you how to sustain success and rewards.

Thank you for taking the time to reflect and post here.
