I’m very impressed at how the two newbies you mentioned are doing so well! I looked at their accounts (because following by example is a great way to learn) and they are so active! My coworker friend told me about Steemit and my first reaction was, “I don’t have time to blog!” Life with work and kids will do that. Then I stumbled on an article about Steemit and really liked the concept. What won me over was the fact that everyone in this world could share in the success. Someone posted about his vote now being $5 when people made that in a day in his country, and I thought wow, this is worth learning about. We can all help each other on here! It was hard to find time to engage so I bought some Steem and figured I’ld just hold onto it.

Little did I know that I would later invest in SP and am now committed. What I enjoy most is the supportive people I’ve met so far on here. It’s so much more than a platform to share creativity. There are some genuine, good-hearted people on Steemit.

I don’t think I will ever reach the level of the two aforementioned Steemians, but I plan to engage and “steemit” the few stolen moments I get to come on. There are an abundance of creativity and talent on here!

Really great post @taskmaster4450! Many newbies get disheartened just starting out but I’m a firm believer that we can all succeed if we put in our respective share and effort.
