Yesterday was indeed awesome, I had a steemit discussion with some sets of great new steemians headed by @peewilz .
The session lasted for almost 2 hours and ended with a birthday celebration.
1 hour after the opening of the meeting, I was called on to come talk about my steemit and cryptocurrency experience.
I had just about 30 minutes to squeeze everything I had out and I needed to just drop all I had in mind.
I started off by telling them a bit about myself, my struggles my days in pains and suffering. I had to tell them because I thought mh little story was needed because someone there could be going through such situation.
Some of the thoughts I shared with them
Success is not in Steemit, nor in Cryptocurrency, you need to be a success to succeed here on steemit.com because a successful person can only produce success, failures produce failures.
You don't help a poor man by giving home money, you help a poor man by teaching him how not to be poor. Poverty is not the absence of necessary requirements, it's a state of mind.
Your poor state of mind will affect the way you write and reply to post.
A poor man will become poor again after he gets some money, but a rich man will become rich from the little you give to him,why? Because he thinks differently.
Rich people see problems as opportunities, poor people see problems as challenges and dead end.
Until you start solving problems, you'll remain poor.
Solving problems will always never be initially profitable, but it will pay you at the end.
It's better to start and fail, than not starting at all.
Success has a lifestyle, success has attitude, success has a mindset. Think success!
You can't think like a poor man and live like a rich man, the poor man in you will definitely show up.
For you to succeed on steemit, you'll have to think "success".
Steemit has really taught me how to be patient because there was a time when the highest I was getting on 80% my post was around $0.01 , but with time it grew.
I felt like quiting several times, but I didn't,you know why? You can't succeed when you quit. I had more than enough reasons to quit, but I didn't.
So no matter what you're doing, don't quit because it's difficult, every problem comes with its solution
Some pictures taken at the meeting
At the end of the meeting, I was able to talk on
- Cryptocurrency / blockchain technology
- The difference between steem, steem power and steem dollars
- Get them to join some discord groups and registered two persons.
The meeting is actually first of its kind and I'm sure there'll be more like that coming.
Thanks to @peewilz for that meeting.
What a great post Sam, in fact, i need to resteem this to my followers.
thank you boss

@samstickkz you really motivates me here, your words is full of wisdom, I have learnt today, so keep spreading the goodnews of steemit and more SBD and STEEM fall on you.
REMEMBER
Sbd fall on you too brother. Reminds me of davido's song
lols, yes dear, that's the secret behind it, davido
I felt like quitting at some point. Thanks for the words of motivation.
I know that feeling. I've had it countless. Just keep doing what you're doing and be consistent. Don't try to beg attention.
You are the boss! You know one thing you said that got to me, is that you STUDIED about cryptocurrency
Yes I did sir, and I still do today
Sammy! I rep you!
i rep you too sir
i rep you too sir
Sam fine boy. Great job. Keep it up.
Wow, you visited my blog today, I'm honored @ogowinner
Yea, i do feel like quiting most times, but each time i try to, i remember a story i read somewhere of two people digging gold, the one that was very close quit just a few block to the gold, while the other one far from getting to the gold was the one who finally got the gold. Quiting doesn't make us to win.

Thank you @hynet
Really inspire about the things that u say, Im from Venezuela, and the people here is suffering, about money, everyday the food, the clothes for some people is difficult, and now with steemit we see a light, God light! and now every people its asking themselves, what am I good at? we are through difficult times! but we are hope, we are LOVE! THANKS FOR SHARE!
The problem you have in venezuela is not lack of money, it's lack of ability to get money.
Suffering is not the problem, because I've suffered before, but suffering for long is the problem.
You only suffer for long when you choose to be ignorant. I grew up in a very poor family and that made me suffer early in my life.
Poverty as a result of my birth wasn't my fault, but me remaining poor will obviously be my fault.
What you need in venezuela is knowledge, there are lots of things you an learn and provide those knowledge as service.
The more ignorant a person is, the poorer the person will become, choose knowledge and poverty will run from you.
I love you @lizbetcontreras
Oh thank u I think the same, the problem here, is the culture and we need education, we need the seed of knowledge, u are really inspiring! thank u for be a example in this life, we need more people like u! god bless you! :)
God bless you too @lizbetcontreras
It is sweet that you intro the newbie into steemit. Very good to the community!
Thank you @ryacha21 hope you'll build a community too?
Rewards Pool Farmer Alert
He is leasing 30k SP from @minnowbooster then using that to VOTE Up his own 7 Day old comments on random posts at the last minute. Scroll his comments to around the 6 day mark or just go to https://steemd.com/@ryacha21; he has a lot of self love on his own old comments.
HE IS DOING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER.. He is farming the pool.. If you could help it would be appreciated..
Learn more about this sack of monkey spunk here:
https://steemit.com/shitpost/@pawsdog/the-shit-post-diaries-1-17-18-4
Also kinda a dick move to use the actual good post of another person to post a comment for no other reason to come back and farm it later.
Post Author, @samstickkz I do apologize.. This dude makes no actual articles of his own so the only way to draw attention to what he is doing is to comment his comments. My sincerest apologies for cluttering up your blog, outing the abusive self voting behavior of @ryacha21
Wow hopefully here in Venezuela this kind of meetings were held.
Yes, it can be held, just get one or tomorrow persons and talk to them or better still invite someone to do a video chat with your people
I'm at this point where i totally want to give up because its not easy at all.
But reading your story, I'm really encouraged and I'm also challenged to do better.
Thank you for sharing.
P.s; I'm a newbie, how come i wasn't invited 🤔🤔🤔
Lol there will be another one
beautiful project, helping people or training people is one of the best investment.keep it up
Yes it is, because. Success is making the world a better place than how you met it. Investing my knowledge into people is my lifestyle
Wao
This is just awesome
yes it is
