Most working class people spend their time trying to get to an employment position that they want. For those who are at the beginning of their career that leap seems like it’s almost impossible or at least decades away! Realistically speaking the top jobs require top knowledge!
The traditionalists state that we all have to stick with it, work our way up the ladder, do the best that you can and even better at times, show the bosses that you are worth the attention and hopefully someone shall notice you one day.
Not a bad plan, proven to work for those who are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to be noticed by the big cahoona.
What happens when the big boys and girls do not notice you?
No matter how hard you try and work and do all the stuff that no body else would do all in the hope that you shall be appreciated.
Two three decades of nerve wrecking and often very frustrating not to say degrading experiences all gone down the drain! Especially if you are ambitious then every day seems like a year!
Is there a bona fide method of making the leap, of flying through the stages and steps, overcoming, improvising and adapting to and through all the obstacles?
Well NOT REALLY.
Only a few people succeed in jumping steps and getting to the top. No matter what their success story may entail it often includes something that most do not have and most surely includes a point where they “were at the right place at the right time”. Otherwise it would never have happened.
Why am I writing about this topic?
Well compare it to what we are doing here in Steemit.
Many people out there are so dearly trying to get the attention of our Whales here that they are forgetting the real principle of work ethics. I mean how many people out there think that they shall be that lucky person to get our Whales supporting them just because they are doing a nice show and tell story time thingamabob for them!
The reality is that Steemit no matter how great and fantastic it is with all its potential shall become the mega social site once the minnows of today become Whales. Going through all the steps and stages, working hard, supporting each other and making sure that they are concentrating on:
A)- Their posting and commenting
And
B)- Their constructive and proactive approach to making Steemit better.
No matter how good something may be, there is always room for expansion, room for making things better.
Minnows and Dolphins of today need to be the driving force here, sure Whale votes are more than fantastic, like a cherry on top when and if they happen, but if we all spent less time trying to gain the attention of our Whales and invested more time into constructive and proactive thought processes, ideas, projects and expanding our horizons here on Steemit, we would be miles ahead from where we are today.
There is no reason why a Minnow or a Dolphin shouldn’t try a pilot project, there is no reason why a Minnow or a Dolphin shouldn’t post a “think tank” about an idea that they are dwelling on.
In most cases the topics are just remakes of something tried somewhere else, like for example “pyramid, multi level marketing or referral programs”. All of which have failed on over 99% of other sites out there. However some ideas have proven to be very rewarding, whereby social sites have become a lot more than just a “let’s get together and complain about how unfair life is”. It is these types of ideas no matter how original or not they may be that shall make Steemit the social site that has overcome all the obstacles and leaped over all the hurdles.
Why?
Well smart people learn from other peoples mistakes, the others learn the hard way.
So after reading these thoughts that I am pondering on and have shared with you here on Steemit, think about it as an individual. Forget about some of the things that conventional corporate training and preset “Borg” like programming of workers has imposed upon us. Think out of the box and the sky may or may not be our limit!
Love this post! The whole money fraud bankster domination paradigm is ending, crashing and burning under the glare of mass-awareness. We are all entitled to our CESTA QUE trusts that were created (using our birth certificates as collateral) by the corporate banking systems known as federal reserves in our respective countries that are actual corporations, literally. I really enjoy your posts, Steem On!
Hi there o/ I just have four days here and I couldn't be more agree! there thousands of spammers around here and people that don't even have the decency of reading the post and to top that their comments are like: "nice post, cool, excellent post" and some other comments even not related to the post, I'm taking the approach you're mentioning, just having fun, making friends, yes, money is certainly great but at least try to enjoy what you're doing. I'm working on a beta project for teaching English to the Spanish community; I'm Venezuelan, and I'm not afraid of commiting mistakes, actually that's the big Idea. Great Post Superhero! Cheers!
Trial and error is not a sin as long as the idea is for good.
Thanks for your words of support and it feels good to know that there are people out there who are not afraid of trying, getting back up if they fall and keep on going.
Hooraaaaa!
If you start thinkig positive about life, then the sky should definily be your starting point.
Just keep it up and it will be
Never surrender!
I agree, not here for the riches, I love the concept of writing about experiences to uplift or make someone simply smile ...it's about enjoying the journey for me.
We definately have to stick together as a community. We can be limitless.
Strength in UNITY.
No letter "I" in the word TEAM!
Hard work Dedication!!! Minnows alone weak minnows together strong!!!!
right.
I agree, the limit we put ourselves, based on our ideas and our own thoughts that most of the time is influenced by the environment that surrounds us. Good publicity. Greetings.
Publicity.... I guess so, even though my goal was to share thoughts that could evoke people to think along the lines of "I'm an individual" and as such are the makers of their own future here on Steemit.
Sorry, I meant publication, good publication, my English is very little. I agree with what you say about thinking outside the box, I think that with the help of Steemit and the ideas that each person can express with respect to a specific subject, they would be contributing to the formation of their future of a Satisfactory manner. Greetings.
Your English is EXCELLENT.
No "sorry" needed, too often we who speak English as our first language misunderstand each other, so don't be sorry.
Your English is EXCELLENT.
& I fully hear you, agree with your statement.
Oh really thanks friend, thanks for those good words. I wish you many successes at Steemit. Thank you. Greetings.
Excellent well constructed post - agree with you that hard work goes a long way, but the motivating factor should always be to do the right thing for the right reasons.
Steemit is the first social medial site I have used because it respects my privacy. Just hope it stays this way and does not go after the biggest whale of them all-advertising
I wouldn't think so, because it has a foundation on cryptocurrency, hence the "adverts" would cost them too dearly at the end of it all.
Will be interesting to see how steemit develops in the coming years - once it reaches a critical mass I can see it being commercialised and follow the same path as youtube etc. but fortunately it cannot(?) be sold off at it's developmental stage like WhatsApp.
No need for it to be "sold off", it is a crypto manufacturing plant, hence selling it would be insane.
What an interesting article! Thank you very much for all the hard thinking to make the world a better place for us. To be realistic, people who have power and an upper hand will not be willing to share what gains they possess. Very few, like you for example, know what is important in life. The illusion of material gratification is hard to resist. Good luck. Live long and prosper! Upvoted, of course.
The Whales of today shall be even happier when the Minnows and Dolphins of today become Whales.
More money in the system for everyone!
Steemit is set up in a manner that is PROductive and PROactive.
No negativity here on that side of things.
None that I can see.
Thank you! I am not technical, so I need simple reassurance for an ideal world.
this is it
