You can't build a long term future, with short term thinking.
-Billy Cox-
I like this quote quite a lot! I think it says quite a bit about the correct mentality one should have when entering an action plan for a vision they may have.
Reason being is simple. Most of the time, success does not happen instantly. Good things really do take time. Whatever it is you want to do, the best results are generally the matured ones. When they are completely ripe!
Why is Steemit, in my opinion one of the best platforms ever?
Not only is Steemit an incredibly diverse platform, but it tends to attract a certain natural level of maturity in it's responses from the community simply using the platform.
Don't understand what I mean? Let me put it this way, before you joined Steemit, were you being impacted by wealthy people around you? Because there are ton of open-minded, wealthy people here. What about just the quality of people. The caliber standard of the community here, versus other platforms, is just amazing.
So for that, I feel far more comfortable giving this incredible platform my time. Not necessarily because I know what the future of the currency will be like, but more so because I have 100% faith in the community. I also know that any obstacle Steem currently faces, can, and will be overcome.
Do any of these sound familiar:
'Follow our passions!'
'Do what you love!'
'Don't do it for the money.'
Sounding familiar? I think we all know these sayings. We all hear them all the time.
The thing is, most people simply feel like they cannot do so in the real world. Life gets in the way for them, and many times, it's tough to monetize your true passion.
See, with Steemit as our platform, these sayings are no longer excuses. Absolutely anybody has the potential to do what they love. No matter if it's being a writer, an artist of any sort, or doing woodwork. You have the potential here to monetize absolutely anything your heart desires.
So for that, I am investing in Steemit. Not only my money, because that is not what is important.. But my time. My effort, and my energy are being put into the platform, not the currency. I believe in this community, and I have a big vision for what is to come. Get ready, it's going to be amazing!
Let me know your thoughts.

i learned a loot from your posts
I'm glad you learnt a loot from my posts :) Awesome :P
100% agree with what you said. Some people expect to earn big doing just little to nothing at all and then when they don't see results, they preach to everyone and even give a status to facebook that steemit is useless. Read one earlier. It's funny to read but it's disturbing for they might corrupt the minds of other people who is planning to join steemit.
Anyway, I enjoyed reading your post. Do you publish every day? When and what time do you usually post?
Your explanation sounds incredibly similar to the Network Marketing industry. It's precisely like that over there. Far too many corrupt minds that were influenced negatively in the past about scams, etc. And for that, much like with Steemit, people are missing out on massive opportunity.
Thanks a bunch :) I am glad.
Yes, I try to stick to my schedule of posting twice a day. Approximately every 12 hours. Sometimes a little under, other times a little over that time :) Not sure your time zone, but in my country (South Africa), I post around 1pm and 1am.
😂😂😂 I should have check your reply here before chatting you at steemit.chat anyway, thank you for helping your stalker. It's easier to do the stalking now since I already know your posting schedule. Hope you'll never get tired reading and responding to my comments as well. 😁😁😁
With only a week on this platform, I've already noticed the difference in caliber of characters compared to the 'mainstream' social media platforms... The quality and originality is on the increase, while cut/paste jobs and 'unfunny' trolling is at a minimum... I'm definitely in this for the long haul...
Well... :D There is still a ton of spam and copy/paste. But yeah, I would agree it is certainly less compared to the rest! :)
Congrats on your first week! Work hard, enjoy yourself, and let's do this :)
I think you pointed out one of the most important things of Steemit - because Steemit is more than STEEM and money.
I am not sure if you've already seen @spectacles, but maybe it can help you out a bit when it comes to your followers! Looks like you got some sweet investors on your blog!
http://www.steemspectacles.com/@enazwahsdarb
It's so true hey. Also intriguing, because I never felt this way about the 'giving' approach before I came across this platform. I used to be very monetary in my goals and general thinking, but now thing are completely 180-degrees different :)
I actually have never seen that site before, but thanks for that! Really cool to see all these third-party resources to make our lives easier. Thanks for your kind words too! :)
Hope you're well!
That's true! For example, on Instagram one simply wants to get as much likes as possible and I would generally do not care much about my followers - I just want to share my own stuff.
However, it works different with Steemit. That's also why we have curation rewards (and you get rewarded more if you upvote the right posts). In addition to that, Steemit has more relations (if you comment and upvote me a lot, I am willing to do the same - ofcourse if the content interests me that is).
Also, with Steemit you can help people out, which makes you also feel good about yourself (I am raising awareness for this and that, all payout will be send to charity).
Another factor is STEEM ofcourse, not the main one, but still plays a role. We are all dependant on STEEM, and if we start selling all at once, it will crash. If we buy at once, it will go up like crazy. All of us together hold the value and are somewhat responsible for this too, which also makes you feel like you're a part of something bigger.
You're welcome :) We're continuously working on it so if you have any suggestions, please let me know and we can make it happen!
I am well, looking forward to 6PM (which is in 40 mins) so I can go home again! How are you?
Really nicely explained my friend. I totally agree with all your points, as they are very accurate.
It's very true. I think it gives many people a sense of being apart of something bigger than themselves. Also the fact that powerdowns takes so long is great, which discourages many people from wanting to withdraw!
Wait.. So.. You helped design that site? :D
Oh okay. So where were you that you wanted to get home? :)
I'm always doing fantastic thanks!!
I couldn't agree more! But I also think that the system has something disregarding - it is hard for people to finally get some value for their posts. You have to push through and keep on working on your engagement, followers and your own posts.
Haha, both the concept and the design are mine :) @pilcrow is my amazing developer and together we built @spectacles!
And I was at work!
@enazwahsdarb Love the hustle spirit ! I'd say invest in both :p well time is money for sure and that's the biggest capital I am currently having and has proven to be profitable since I joined steemit. Never waste your time for free, if you can rant and get paid why not, Jk.
Anyhow, Talk soon !
Definitely :) Totally agreed.
Also agreeing with your time-mindset! Time is money for sure. At least, thinking this way will get us on our feet and working :)
Ahh thanks :P I appreciate that! Now go for gold!! :)
Steemit is the best platform I've ever seen. Considering the immense benefits and possibility of success, it is worth it. But there are major principles to success on steemit thus
avoid enmity
be passionate just as @enazwahsdarb rightly mentioned.
be consistent
The rules are simple, flexible and easy. Keep to it.
Steemit is the future of social network.
Thanks once again @enazwahsdarb for this Beautiful Post. You nailed it.
Totally agree with those points. I think it's important to follow some provable principles to really get lasting results.
Love it man! Nicely said.
Thanks
No problem! You had a nice description of how you explained that.
A little time and energy invested by each of us into Steemit, will help it become the community with the influence we will all prosper from.
Nicely said! I totally agree with every word of that.
Now we just need to encourage those actions to be taken :)
yes, for sure. :)
Many people on Steemit post copy/pasted material and then give up on the platform because they aren't performing as they would have liked. Steemit takes originality, hard work, and perseverance.
It's true. Unfortunately that is a very common mentality of many users joining this platform. I think it's best if everyone who knows the correct approach, to set the rest in a solid direction :)
I totally agree! It's exactly that :)
Separating wheat from chaff. Perseverance also means patience. This platform is still young.
WOW very well described!
I haven't really considered that description of perseverance being patience. Nice one!
I think we have some solid potential here :)
I absolutely agree with you! Yes, there are investors waiting for the ROI and more. But we all should never forget whats the spine of this living entity, called "steemit": its the content and the engagement of cool people that have something to say.
Thank you for reminding people of what it is all about.
(Yesterday I wrote a similar article about that https://steemit.com/steemit/@laylahsophia/why-i-love-steemit , but yours hits the bullseye. ;)
Nicely said! I think it's very importaant that people are reminded on a regular basis about the correct mentality and approach :)
Awesome one my friend :) Our articles related nicely then!
Keep up your nice work.
Thank you for this point. This second part has given me hope. I am in it to win it. Not really more to get exposure and build a community with other. So I guess that is win it. Keep them coming.
My pleasure my man :) I'm glad you're in a better state of mind now after our previous chat.
Go for gold!
Thanks
My pleasure man. See you in the next post in a bit! :)
This is exactly how I see it. I tried various plateforms to share my content... I feel like Steemit gives me more freedom in terms of variety of content and the community is very open-minded. This is a gme changer!
I'm glad we share a similar perspective :)
I totally agree man. I think this platform has a ton of potential. Work hard!

WOW man thanks for that! I appreciate your awesome words.
Only my pleasure!
Great read! Was very informative. If everybody has this attitude surely this platform can't fail :P
Thank you very much! I appreciate those kind words :)
Right!? Totally agree. Us, the people have the power to influence the future of this platform. It's quite amazing.
Really great points here. Appreciate the content, will follow!
Thanks for that! I appreciate your kind words :) What was the best part for you?
I agree with your overall sentiment. That most people on this platform didn't really produce content for money primarily, but on steemit - with the capabilities and community it makes producing content on here valuable. Both for long term gains, and also simply due to the community itself and what has been built here.
Very true. Nicely said!
I like the thought of before there were any payouts. When people were just doing it for the content. What do you know? Those are the people earning the most right now :)
Yes this is very true. But what I love about steemit on another level, is it gives more power to the content providers themselves. In the Google ecosystem which most of us blogged or created videos within or whatever before, our futures and destiny's with what happened with our content wasn't in our hands - and google is king there. Here it's much more, open community and managed and maintained by community.
It's awesome isn't it? :) I love the flexibility of this platform. It's fantastic!
Congratulations, you have won the @OriginalWorks daily resteem contest.
Oh yay LOL! I thought it was the weekly contest.. Mmmm :P
Thanks!
Agree. steemit will be a tremendous investment container going forward. without having to spend money, we get income with the effort and time we spend.
interesting reviews @enazwahsdarb
Exactly! Also, you will be very surprised how many people have made an extra couple 10's on thousands of dollars on the side just by using this platform.
Compare that to Facebook or Instagram :D
Yah am investing my time on steemit because it has made me meet great people that i probably won't have met in the real world.
So true man! I can definitely relate with that. It's amazing.
Great read to how we can invest n Steemit...Thanks for your right advices.
I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Thanks for showing your appreciation!
Inspiring post...we are investing our quality time here..and a big vision in front of us.
Totally agreed! I think the future is going to be amazing. I am excited :)
Thanks for your kind words! Appreciate that.
Awesome insight on how this works... I'm new so its a great read for someone who has little knowledge about this site!
Welcome to Steemit then :) Glad you could be with us!
I appreciate that! Thank you for taking my opinion into consideration.
For you to move forward, I would say work hard, stay positive, and have a good time :) Oh.. And be consistent!
If you need any help, I am here to assist you if I have time spare!
yeah and never copy be original be active
Exactly man :) Glad you got the concept eventually! You will do well here if you just be yourself, and work hard.
I have faith in your abilities :)
Thanks dude

I'm glad you agree :) There is nothing more powerful and a solid community.
Thanks for your input!
i am also thinking to invest in steemit and hold it for a few month i think that they will give me a good profit bye the way thanks for sharing your ideas with us i always waiting a post from you.
Thanks man! I'm glad you are enjoying the work.
Yeah, I was talking more about investing my time into Steemit, not just my money into Steem. But thanks for your opinion :) Good to see you're doing to own work now.
steemit is the only community that we learn and earn at the same time let steem on thanks for reply bro
Always a pleasure my man. I agree with you! It sure is.
I love your blog layout content. Have you done any blogs on how to create better layouts here?
Thanks for that man!I appreciate those kind words :)
Nope I haven't.. It's not really anything to do with what my content's theme is. But I appreciate that you guy like it!
Never know, maybe sometime in the future I will make a helpful post :)
What did you think of the article? :)
Thank you, I appreciate it. It got me mesmerized. But I did love the article also and am on the exact same page as you. Long term projects that have a high probability to pay out is what I am all about. Here you can make a ton holding your SP by appreciating(as I believe it will be worth more then currently), have rewards to pay yourself or create influence for others to up vote you and create a full time income. It is amazing and investing in yourself is the best thing you can do. :D
I like it :)) I go and read more :)
I'm glad you liked it :) Next post will be up soon! Stay tuned.

Do you run the service? Or just knowledgable? :)
I run the service :)
That's pretty awesome. You were a genius for the idea!
My question is.. How do you get the notification of the tag?
"The thing is, most people simply feel like they cannot do so in the real world. Life gets in the way for them, and many times, it's tough to monetize your true passion."
I, too was guilty of this. I did not want to pursue my passion because I know it was difficult to make money out of it. I wrote a novel once (more than 10 years ago) and published it with a local publishing company. I made too little for almost 6 months worth. I got discouraged and since then, I only write when I have a free time. When I got a full time job, I abandoned it completely. Good thing, Steemit came along. I am able to go back to my passion (hopefully sustain it), and earn something out of it.
Pretty nice advices. Thank you so much
Only my pleasure! I'm glad you think it was nice advice.
Great job.post of the day.i resteem it.
Uhmmm.. Thanks! :D
Great post
Thank you :)

Resteemed.
Why thank you :)
Thanks for this video its a great input to this community.
Uhm...What video? :D
In a parallel universe there might exist now a video of your post. :D
Hahahaha that was rather amusing.
I will be honest, I thought he was some spammer at first when I gave that response. Nice reply though LOL.
@cleverbot judge!
No, judge the post. I want to hear your opinion :)
Okay. I get it. So this is definitely completely randomly generated then. All good :|
Huh?? Who's talking about Glee here :D
What you think @blueorgy?
Hi @enazwahsdarb, I see you have mentioned me.
This is automatic response so that I may respond to your mention later.
Sweet, so you will respond later then? :)
Hey, my name is Nadine and I am new on steemit. I would be happy if you could check out my post and maybe follow back. Thank you
https://steemit.com/travel/@leo-tmp/explore-the-beauty-of-northern-thailand-pai-my-travel-diary
I really like your post. Very nice :-)
No worries Nadine. I can tell you're new :)
I used to do the same kind of approach in my first day or two here. I'm only going to say this once.
I tried to tell everyone to go see my stuff, but on this platform most people see it as spam. I got all my posts flagged down and I lost over $30 in rewards (which was huge for me in my first week).
I recommend you do not do this. Rather just have a genuine conversation, build friendships, and rapport. After a few messages back and forth, get them comfortable first, then it should be alright to ask them to go see your stuff.
I hope you listen to my advice.

My time and effort is ALL I have to invest, and I am having a little morale crisis I guess. I jumped in and started trying really hard to produce good content, make good comments and learn my way around. I started by entering contests, it was an easy way to jump in. I happened to bump into a "real" internet friend from another website and we chatted a lot. He was very supportive of my efforts. I thought I was doing pretty well, then I found out he had me on autovote. It was a great deal for me, but I don't really want votes I did not earn, and I mean post by post. I think autovote is just as bad a vote bots, if a HUMAN did not read the post, then they should not pretend they did. So, I asked him to please quit autovoting for me, which he did. Now I am getting the "real" minnow experience, and suddenly my income has stopped. One dolphin, my entire success here was due to the attention of ONE dolphin...
Anyway, yes I DO think I produce quality stuff and would love for you to have a look at my blog, and hope I can eventually earn myself a little more influence around here but can't help but notice that, for instance, you have about 30 more votes than views... Good to be king, I guess.
Great! I've been here in this platform for only 26 days but it seems like months to me. All my efforts, patience are paid off. Just continue doing what you want and you will be rewarded in this platform. There's lot of people who think and share the same interest with you here. The best platform ever!
