I like your attitude and that you did not beg the whales to upvote you as well (as I'm sure that gets tiring) but here's a token of appreciation for your positive outlook and the larger picture view that continuing to work hard and not rely on gains in the short term is how steemit it really going to be valuable!

I ask that when you grow, you continue to pay it forward and reward posts and people who have the long term best interests for steemit.
