Thanks for stopping by. Now let's get busy succeeding!
Found your blog as you'd recently commented on one of my posts and I love the idea of quote of the day, following to see the rest :)
Personally I've struggled with this for years, outside of Steemit. I have always believed money should never be a motivating factor and I definitely think that it's important to forget about the money side of Steem. In life however I'm starting to wish I'd been a little more money-focussed before now. It's not everything but it certainly makes life less stressful! I think somewhere in the middle there's a nice balance!
" I think somewhere in the middle there's a nice balance!"
Good balanced viewpoint! I find that if we find joy in our work and try and help others it seems to work out somehow.
Love your photos by the way!
Seems like being balanced is the trick to almost everything in life! Shame it's so hard to do most of the time!
Thanks! Really appreciate that :)
(Love your quotes!)
This is something interesting to answer because in these type of post we write an decorative answer usually, like my first motivation is not money and i am doing this because of passion for blogging and it gives happiness to me because i can communicate with new people. But, if you think from deeper aspect, then you will get an real answer means, it's practical thing that without money we can't process our day to day activities till you are living in an commercial world, i have used commercial world word because still there are places in the world where everything runs without money and they still continue the exchange system like (Barter System). And let me ask one thing, and this question is for me also, if there were no rewards on Steemit Platform then would you invest same efforts on the Platform, i will answer no, because that's practical, you are putting your true efforts and time because you are getting the rewards, for example, if YouTube Monetization will be disabled for forever then, in my opinion only limited people will create video content. So in my opinion both have equal importance means, enjoyment of work and strengthing an community and also monetary rewards and that's the truth in my opinion. Thanks for sharing this post with us. 🙂
Stay Blessed.
Hello, what you say is very true. Happy day..!
Thank you so much. 🙂
Stay Blessed.
"So in my opinion both have equal importance means, enjoyment of work and strengthing an community and also monetary rewards and that's the truth in my opinion. "
A good honest and balanced view!
Thank you so much. 🙂
Enjoy what you do and everything will follow.What i love in steemit is not about the reward,it is just a bonus.Being here in steemit made me share my thoughts and ideas which makes me gain friends.With out friends here in steemit is boring but knowing that there are some people waiting for your ideas to be shared are worth it.Steemit indeed changed me much.And im glad that im part of the community.Each of us must be glad for that.
What a nice answer and a lovely way of viewing things!
Great question to medidate on and that relates with our purposes on life. I would say love in first place is more important, as well as family, then friends and health and after a nice job and money. I think everybody likes money or better saying, the things that money permits to buy, but its not the main thing, i wouldn't change the man i love for another man that is richer for example. Money as a important part on our lifes of course but the are feelings and things that it can't buy ;)
Nice expressions. Thanks!
I enjoy steemit because the content its a lot better than facebook and i have a bigger will to participate even tough in the last couple of days i haven't been posting. Sometimes is a bit hard to know what to write about, but i do enjoy reading articles by other steemians and that is one of the reasons that i come here to the platform. Money is important but its not everything ;)
It is usually a fun and friendly place!
I join steemit because my friend told me it was a good way to make some money, improve my writing in english and being part of a very helpfull community. At the moment these are my goals, but i'm still very new so maybe in few months it will change :)
seems to me a well balanced approach!
Money, pleasure, fun, the human being is driven by them and its part of life. In my case, the main reason on the beginning was money, but i found here a nice community and i really enjoy participating. Right now, besides the steemit project i have a project to collect and publish a book with jokes based on my posts on steemit.
Question: How do you catch a monkey?
Answer: Climb a tree and act like a banana!
Love your project and your jokes!
To be honest i quit using fb or any other social media platform i used to when I started using steemit. It is probably the first time in years that i enjoy posting and day by day i become more creative. While in other platforms it seemed like a task lately...
Steemit is revolution. Creating and making profit at the same time?like a dream come true
Great comment and a wise change!
I remembered Cesar from the planet of the apes. when the monkeys put together a puzzle
The main thing is to enjoy life and family in a few words "know how to live" but we must recognize that we live in a world where money is indispensable and nobody can deny it.
a balanced reply!
Very interesting quote. We can do things for pleasure and we can do also things for money. The best is when we do things that both bring us pleasure and also money ;) My steemit acount for example is part of a larger project about Madeira Island that is non-profit and about helping people discover the island. I confess we haven't yet posted but i'm finishing a PDF guide about the island and then i count on posting some articles :) One of the reasons that i enjoy coming here and writing its because you always have great quotes to motivate to work harder :)
"The best is when we do things that both bring us pleasure and also money ;)"
Love it!
I joined steemit on the advice of a friend, he told me i would become a millionaire if i created an upvote bot, hehe :P
He forgot to tell i need programming skills...i stayed in the community because i love how it works and many people have really great posts :)
Good one! :)
I do like earning money, but as a principal of a high school I already make a good and honest living. I just like helping people and adding to a collective. Information and ideas have an effect on people that can spark new ideas. Maybe those ideas generated from a platform like this one will completely change the world in years to come.
"I just like helping people and adding to a collective."
I love this! Do any of your students write on the Steem blockchain? It is a great way of learning this new technology!
No, they don’t... yet. They seem too busy with talking about each other on Instagram and Snapchat. Lot of cyber bullying.
Yeah I found my passion for blogging when I joined steemit. Of course at first my main goal was to earn money. That's why everyone joins. But later I realized it's a really great way to improve myself in many ways!
That's great to read!
For me motivated not because of money alone. When what makes people around us happy. When we began a good work certainly paid off automatically. Although no amount of money that we need. thank you for posting your motivation today
Thanks for having a look and commenting!
I have never created content about blockchain, because I am still very layman about it all, I want to learn it deeper ..
This is a great place to learn!
This post is really interesting. They say that this world is moving because of money but I think that also because of love, there are many people who work for others without receiving any remuneration and it is because they have a vocation for service and because inside they believe that life is proportional " what you give, come back. " In my particular case, I love Tourism, landscape and photography, I want to make known through this medium, how beautiful my country is and because I have had the privilege of knowing it (I know that many Venezuelans have not been able to know well the country due to how expensive domestic tourism is) and if this comes with a reward for me, it will be well received. Really, thank you very much for the phrases, I like to read. Happy day..!
I love to read about your plans for blogging on this platform!
This post really brought a lot into perspectives for me and i can boldly say, yes we all need some little levels of encouragement but then i love writing which is primarily borne out of love for it. There are few of my posts that didn't even level up in $, yet i kept posting...i always do that even on my facebook account which yields no reward. Money could be an added advantage to motivate us because we all need it once in a while but i enjoy writing to get my message out there and have at least someone better for it.
Thanks for sharing your viewpoint!
Anytime.
yes..i can not lie, my first motivation is money.
and honestly from the bottom of my heart. I commented this dipostingan also hope will upvote from you @goodvibrations . sorry, I have to be honest
Honesty is the best policy!
If you find the best sensation, then money is not motivation, that's my opinion. do you agree with me?
True!
seeing your post always motivates me to get up and fight from a bad day
I'm so glad to read that!
My motivation is money, then I find comfort to always post any information for the good of people. I feel satisfied. I am often motivated with you @goodvibrations
You have a balanced view of the situation!
If we are not happy in what we are doing, then we are just fooling ourselves.
But if we enjoy what we are doing as a job, no matter how low or or how high the pay is, it won't really matter that much to me.
Thanks for this wonderful reminder!
"If we are not happy in what we are doing, then we are just fooling ourselves."
Good stuff!
It motivates me to publish my "publications" because I can distract myself. It is true that I received rewards from my home but the truth is that when you publish and have good comments, it motivated you to a future and improved the contents every day.
That seems to be a good motivation!
Well yeah it sure is important (money).But I do like spending time in this platform and get to know better !
We learn a lot here!
we should do what we love and steemit is a way to follow the things we love but money should not be the top driving force because in the end its the content that's matter
Very true!
Yes something that if we do it well and thoroughly we will definitely get a satisfactory result. Congratulations to rest @goodvibrations
Thanks a lot!
totally interesting, a lot to think about this. I love what I do, the key is to do it with passion
So glad to read that you love what you do!
Hey ! Well i'm to interact with the new people :) to know about their thoughts, to know about their culture.
yes if you earn some bucks doing it, that is a bonus.
You have a nice and balanced view!
Thank you :) appreciated :)
Saludos @goodibrations.
@calito
Our main motivation should be to LIVE
in the once meaning of the word motivation today, we should be ourselves, thanks @goodvibrations
nice post, i like it.
I believe that all of us who have entered this platform do so mainly for money. But once you are inside the platform, you realize that it is not as easy as you thought but you continue in it because it is a job that you enjoy. You can share your own content and you own your blog. I feel motivated because I enjoy sharing what I like and in turn I can get rewards for it @goodvibrations
I like your way of looking at things!
Cooll much
motivation comes in many ways, contemplation is the path to motivation. thank you @goodvibrations
Then we need to contemplate regularly!
