Add 3 zeros to the amount in the wallet. I like the sound of that. It sure is motivation enough for me.
I am what you would call 'not the sharpest knife in the drawer'. I don't understand what is going on here half the time. But, I do know that Steem is not for all people. They come on, they see the payouts on their post, they beat a hasty retreat, saying it is not worth their time. I say let them be.
I have been posting on blogspot, Google+ and Facebook for over a decade. I don't get a single cent. I am here for 6 months and the account's value is $28.14 - last checked. By comparison, that is a lot. So, I AM grateful.
I know my capabilities, or should I say my limits. So, I stick to doing what I do best - doing what I know, and leaving others - like you, to do what they know.
I enjoy posting. It gives me something to do, it helps with my English, and my writing. I enjoy doing that. Whatever rewards I get is a bonus, a motivation, and an incentive to do better.
I must admit that sometimes it is discouraging to see a 'junk' post gets paid more than my carefully thought out post. But hey, I understand that that's the way it goes and probably someone out there is also saying the same of my post. So, I am cool with that.
With such motivating and encouraging posts such as yours, you can be sure - I AM Grateful, and I will be Steeiming on. Cheers! :-)
