The Untalented Curriculum didn't die. I didn't die either!
I simply went into the box, to come out of it again, more fortified!
I do want to end this year strong. I had big plans for the end of this year and even after my mum passed, these plans got bigger meaning and essence but i have been a bit slow and behind schedule.
I will not tire out though and regardless, we will end this year strong and on a high.
We will still get to do one untalented contest, however small or gianormous before the years runs out.
In the meantime, let's talk a bit more about success or breakthrough in general. I speak of "life" most times when touching on the topic of success/breakthrough but for many tangible reasons, one being that "life" is the secret recipe to success in every aspect of life; till date!
Now "life" is a curriculum that comprises of alot e.g the Creator Jehovah, humans, the streets, books, nature, steemit etc and every aspect of life comprises of just the same e.g steemit, relationships, business, day-to-day living, happiness, success etc
It does require a measure of depth to understand this thing called "life"; even then, it isn't fully graspable because there will ever be aspects of life, that will only be understandable by the Creator, for we are mere mortals.
Without this depth, you will understand the lines just as they are but you may miss out on context and the full extent of its application (in between the lines); you may be better be able to stick to rules than fully grasp principles e.g the Bible didn't say "don't smoke cigarettes" but it does say "not to defile the body". Now, there is conscience as well to tell you "what's the gain" and some comedy science to tell you that "the most dangerous butt on Earth is a cigarette stick" but apart from that; "a measure of depth and an understanding of "life" itself" as to know that there are bigger things than mediocre merriment and responding to "each impulse".
Now, must everyone be deep?
Plain no, as we were all made differently and process things differently and i tell you, life is even a bit easier. Plus, i am mere dust, so why judge and condemn someone, when i love instead; plus, why shouldn't i forgive you a hundred times.
Ofcourse, it does take a measure of depth and a special understanding of this called "life" to chose to forgive someone a hundred times.
What am i saying?
Many times, many of the solutions to challenges on Earth are not in outer-space (the nth solution) but are findable here on Earth, perhaps, even "just next to you" in the first obvious simplest solution.
It does take a measure of depth to see these things!
When it was said, "don't eat of the fruit in the middle of the Garden but you can eat of every other fruit", it was that simple yet it has cost (us dearly) all of humanity "life" today.
Simply take charge and abate your impulse for a minute or perhaps, go pluck all the pluckables everywhere else and chew as you wish and as you do, be belly-filled and sleep off!
The solution was that simple and perhaps in the first simplest obvious solution but again, you may want to ask: "why was there need for a problem (requiring a solution) in the first place. Again, life is that complex, that only the Creator, can answer some things.
Going further, after Jesus' fasted for 40 days, there was utmost "justification for gratification", if he had decided to turn stones to bread but he chose to take charge of his impulse and that was the solution.
Sometimes, the answers are just right there!
If you have provenly done fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, then what's in another 30 mins!
Again, depth is sometimes where the answers lie.
e.g If i have seen "life", then why should i fret, get agitated and instantly react, when the next person steps on my toes. Hahaha, i may just walk away silently on this particular day or turn my other cheek!
Hahaha, there are bigger things to life! The higher you, the deeper it may get!
Let's go steemit and success in general
What if i tell you that:
When it comes to steemit success, even success in general, sometimes all that was ever needed is presence.
Ever constant presence!
The above easily can look like a very shallow sentence but looking closely, it just may have a far deeper-reaching meaning and it so does!
Yes, even in someone's (a potential helper, investor, partner etc) mind, you may have to stay ever-present!
e.g earlier today, someone from USA asked of me, upon chatting with my sister. He spoke to her of whether i would be interested in overseeing a branch of his USA company that he is planning to setup in a developing country. Hahaha, i am not an overseer and i haven't talked to this person in so many ages but even after these many years, i may have stayed stuck/lingered in this mind and it can have been for something as simple as the name "Terry" or maybe more!
My sister didn't know if i will consider it, so she had consulted with me earlier today, but then she gave me his contact and told me to reach out to him in conversation and her reason? "So that i can keep on present in his mind".
She said: "contact him ASAP before he starts to think of someone else. Even if it is just to be in touch, please contact him, so that he keeps you in his mind".
Even on steemit!
Yes, many join steemit and can get disheartened by events, governance, inability to earn rewards etc but at least stay ever-present.
Stay with me!
Most good things, only become really good when proven.
Deep! Even love can have a mediocrer, shallower meaning when it is not proven. Yes, love is self-sacrificing, long-suffering and patient.
Eve may have been said to have fully truly loved, if even in the midst of pressure (a really simple pressure in this case), she had stayed present in her act of loving, of her own free-will. Deep!
To stay present on steemit without apparent gain, does take a measure of depth (substance, self-sacrifice, selflessness, love, character etc) but again being "present" (the first simplest obvious solution) may be all that we have needed for success here, moreso, than building gigantic infrastructures to seek whale-help or jackpot.
Perhaps, the jackpot is actually in our staying present here.
In general, there will always be times when we tire out a bit and can't create content but our presence is on steemit may just be as important than content creation.
It is important to me!
For one, there is "no loss" and with the steem blockchain, anything (great things, breakthroughs, opportunities, partnerships, jackpot etc) can happen, at any moment, on any day!!!
Infact, something nice is certainly happening right now as we speak somewhere on steemit e.g if you have some good amount steem power in your wallet, take a note of it right now e.g Check your current amount of SP, then refresh your browser after some seconds and tell me if your SP remains. You will have noticed an increase, because another incentive of powering up is that it keeps increasing.
Too, steemit is a community of reputable great minds (potential helpers, partners, investors etc) and even in these minds, you may have to stay ever-present.
There is ton of people entering steemit daily and a ton, who have history on steemit e.g older whales, minnows, dolphins seeking these same help as well, that sometimes, the real competition (if there really is any) is in how much one stays present in the minds of potential helpers than the other.
Persistence pays off!
Jehovah knows our needs yet he tells us to keep asking! Deep! (As even in "asking", we may need to be proven e.g consistent, persistent, deeply-rooted, of-substance, unshaken, free-willed, determined, exerted, pleaful, heartfelt, enthusiastic etc to be seen or established "too be really asking".
Just maybe!
Steemit is not Noah's Ark but even in Bible times, there were many cases, where all that was needed was being present. Infact, in Noah's preaching, he wasn't asking people to adjust their morals etc. He simply asked that they entered an ark, for their will be impending rain and they will need a boat. The first simplest obvious solution was the actual solution!
Yes, sometimes "being present" is all that was ever needed!
With the steem blockchain, there is even more reason to be present, than there is anywhere online. It is fresh, a newer type of technology, intriguing, has the best capabilities blockchain-wise, it is valuable in solving real world problems, it is free, it is the mainstreamest of blockchains, it is easy-to-use etc
Plus, there are many reputable great minds on steemit from all works of life, each incentivized to cook up knowledge (redundant and existent knowledge) and beautifully erupt it for free; and in reality:
the only difference between the successful and those aspiring to be successful is "knowledge".
Now if we see the news and read books and see videos and go to school and spend an average of 5 years of our lives on the INTERNET, then there is almost no loss in just being present on steemit.
On steemit, breakthrough-INTEL can pop up/out anytime, any moment and in some cases, for split seconds!
e.g
- Once, sometime ago, here on steemit, there were posts indicating that the price of ETH crashed momentarily from $319 to 10 cents in seconds on the GDAX exchange and some of those who may have taken advantage, may have gotten quick hints, while present on steemit.
- And many who got extra tokens for the resulting split bitcoin-based blockchain, may have been here present on steemit, to have found out!
- Once in the past too, when steem dollar was around 1 dollar, it had spiked momentarily to around 20 USD each and several who may have had timely knowledge of that, may have had to be present on steemit.
The ever-missing piece of your puzzle may be in this post or in the very next set of posts, lined up on your now-feed!
The whale-hood that you seek, can happen on steemit in a jiffy but would you have been present here on steemit, thus, likelier to be present in the minds of loving steemians?
So just when you tire out and decide to take a break from steemit, how can you stay present on steemit?
There is a ton of ways to stay present on steemit, even in the backgrounds. Not everyone is bound to post on steemit. Ofcourse, there are ton of developers who don't post on steemit but how about non-developers?
@libert would tell me, "i have analysed myself and i have noticed that i am not good with posts but i have a feeling that my calling point on steemit is curation and i told him to build that game.
Yes, curation can very much be talent; can fetch you rewards and can keep you present on steemit and fresh and ever-green in the minds of steemians.
Steemians know, when they have been touched by a loving upvote.
Whales can spot you eventually as a fan and become your fan, starting to support you constantly or can spot you as a valuable curator and can contact you to give you opportunities e.g (delegate curation tasks to you or ask your views or advice on the state of the steemit community etc) or may decide to follow your vote etc
@aggroed contact minnows for their views and so does @acidyo, @donkeypong, @hanshotfirst @stellabelle etc
Reading and commenting
This a very fun activity in reality and easily keeps you "present" on steemit and in the minds of steemians (potential helper, friend, brother etc)
The days will still fly but never emptily by as you will have been present in a hub where INTEL can pop out any moment!
Plus, you will keep on evergreen/present in the minds of reputable loving steemians. (Keeping your potential for potential help almost evergreen)
Note: Even in someone's mind you may have to stay present. We aren't the only ones in the world!
There is also the chat rooms.
E.g @drakos @timcliff etc are in the chat rooms constantly helping others, at times, when they aren't posting. @timcliff for instance, constantly submits pull requests on github for improvements to the steemit interface. See below:
@drakos likes to assist the witnesses and newbies.
#steemgigs
Everyone has something to offer!
While we are behind schedule a bit with the steemgigs interface on https://steemgigs.org; even while you decide to rest a bit, at times when you can't create content, you can manage to stay present in the steem ecosystem by having your #steemgigs ready-made and out on steemit. See this post by @thatsweeneyguy:
e.g your existing #steemgigs can keep your presence alive on steemit, allowing you to offer a service (proof-reading, logo creation, video edits, SEO services, software programming etc) in exchange for steem/SBD
Infact, "everyone has something to offer"; so their is no reason why you should have had some #steemgigs up!
Projects
You can create open-source projects and keep them alive even while you are away, using the service @utopian-io offers! This will open you up to likely venture-capitalists, whales, developers etc, who may want to partner or support your project.
Hahaha, being present is "presenting yourself" constantly.
ETC.
Let me pause here! I am your boy Terry, i am present and you get my gist!

One word that best describes you is: Inspiration. Not everybody has that inner instinct. I haven't met you but you build connection real quick for someone who has had a hard time lately.
Explains an angel in you. Haven't met your mom but she raised a blessing to us thru you.
I will even if you didn't ask me to hahahah!
There are times I miss posting because of a lot of things on my plate but writing is my passion. I consider it mine. A thing nobody can take it out from me. I get satisfied when I compose. This is what I usualy tell my friends which eventually became my co-Steemians. Some people are not born with the passion of writing so it's hard to push someone who's not willing. The only thing I can do is to keep on encouraging them because I care.
There are a lot of people who has brilliant thoughts like yours. You're one of those I consider as a present I received this Christmas ☺ More power to you!
You just became my present. Stay awesome switie. Shine like crazy
You're def just the sweetest. And yes! I will 😊
Lovely! This is just so lovely!
My favorite parts,
Exactly! Jehovah even wants to see if we are interested. It also depends on us. It is also up to us if we depend on him. If we are really present to ask for him.
I actually never realized that he told him to just enter the ark, and he never told them to change their ways. You're too deep brother. Being present is being important. That's what I am always doing. I try to be present everyday. And even during the busy days and the hardest times, I am here even to post just one blog post. I make sure to be present here. Also, I need to power up with Steem Power to further support my team and my new refers.
I will tell my new refers about this post to get encouraged.
Just in case, here are they.

Thank you so much brother! They are very happy. In fact, we went out after the field service to eat out and discussed about Steemit. Of course, encouragement spiritually as well. I also have a new referral who is good at arts. I am convincing him with his craft. Here he is
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@jetskie/letting-people-know-me
You are just awesome @surpassinggoogle. Thanks for all your inspiration. What would i have done on steemit without your advice and motivation. You bring the best in me. I have learnt a few things from you and i have also done some study in God's word and they correspond.
God has given all of us gifts. Sometimes we call them talents. Nothing is small if God accepts it
When you serve the Lord with the ability He has given you, you bring glory to His name and blessing to his people.
Frankly speaking, this alone should be enough to prompt us to use our gifts.
The Holy Spirit moves us to walk in the will of God. Several of you may have witnessed an urge to start using the gifts and abilities God has given you more. Be it writing, encouraging, singing, witnessing, whatever it is. God gifts us all.
Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly. Romans 12:6
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God?s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
Notice the bible talks about 'us exercising the gifts' or 'using them to serve others'.
Some things matter more than others. If you resist the urge that God is placing upon your heart to make full use of the gifts and calling He has given you; others will pay the price of not receiving that which you were given to bless them. Read 1 Peter 4:10 again.
Your refusal to use your God given gift will be questioned by God on the judgement day.
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. Romans 14:12
We all have our excuses for not doing the right thing at the right time. The lazier a man is, the more he plans to do tomorrow
The problem is, tomorrows never run out - until it is too late.
What are you doing with the gifts God has given you? Remember:
God will judge us not only for what we did, but also for what we could have done and didn?t
Some things matter more than others. Using your God given gifts matter. Thank you for backing your sayings and motivations with the scripture @surpassinggoogle. God bless you.
This words are deep and profound. As for me I want to be among those that will not waste his gift and use it to serve of humanity.
I really like your mindset, you are going to go places.
We shouldn't think that we’re useless in God’s eyes—because we're not! Even if you aren’t aware of it, God has given you at least one spiritual gift or ability—just as He has every other believer.
And God wants us to discover your gift and use it for His glory. No, yours may not rbe as public as someone else’s gift; not everyone (for example) is called to become a president or teacher. But that doesn’t mean your gift is any less important in God’s eyes—because it isn’t. Some people, for example, have a God-given gift for encouraging others, or being kind or merciful, or giving wise advice to those who need it. The Bible says we “do not all have the same function. … We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us” (Romans 12:4,6).
He gave us the privilege of being made in his image and likeness. This is a weighty sentence
You must look your facebook @surpassinggoogle
Can i keep this in a special place?@princesson
Awww. You can dear. Thanks
Keep for two
Hanhan! Issi your keeping? @surpassinggoogle 😂😂😂😂
patient
really, i understand 😁 patient patient
Even in the illustation of the talents by Jesus, the one who buried his talent lost favor. We can't pinpoint it as exactly wrong or condemn it and it is the easier route but i still prefer the harder route with all its hassle as to me, it is more testimonial
I still opined that sweat sweetens the success. But then, do you think that there is a middle ground here?
I have seen people who got victory on plata of GOLD!
Profound words right here.
James 4:17 outrightly aligns with your concluding lines where it says if you know to do good and probably refuse to do it, it's a sin. One of the vital lessons I have learnt on steemit so far is living for humanity which has been inspired by @surpassinggoogle severally. If only we all can swallow such mindset, using our gifts as listed above and finances in the way that improves the living of our neighbor. The man next to you who is less than you in status is probably there around you for you to be a lifter. We are stewards of all that we possess and a constant reminder just help reshape our habits and how we treat people around us. Thanks for this profound thoughts.
Really very huge point you are making here. Thank you dear. I believe we should Ask God to show us what gift He’s given us and lets discover it more. Then commit it (and your whole life) to it and seek to use it to help others. The Bible says, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).
tnx for upvote
@princesson nicely described, wonderful comment written and got a healthy reward from @surpassinggoole. That's our great plateform Steemit where everyone rewarded. good luck.
Hello @princesson
merry Xmas. Honestly, even as powerful as @surpassinggoogle's words of encouragement and spiritual uplift mentioned are, I found these few lines of yours equally empowering.
@surpassinggoogle is an incarnate of a genius, a pillar of many subcommunities whose contributions to the growth of steem blockchain is an encyclopedia on its own. I had dug deep into his blog to dig up some of earliest writings he authored when he was a nobody on steemit and found those ones as educative and inspiring as his present day writings.
With these words of yours that so as powerful as his, I will not be surprise if you become another 'surpassinggoogle' in the near future.
Thanking you for this biblically based teaching and motivation. They are so succinct and inspiring.

@eurogee, the Steemivangelist
My dear @surpassinggoogle.....
You have come again with another yet intriguing post.. Now analyze these lines oozing with the cream of awesomeness and wisdom
Now those words are deep! I am glad you went down further to recognise that not everybody is a genius to assimilate such words at a seemingky faster rate than another would. I think i fall in the former category. One who isnt quick to grasp the literal/figurative essence in deep lines such as one above but luckily, i still have an idea on the message you are trying to pass accross.
I use to tell people i meet since i joined steemit
Better to be on steemit than any other social media. Asides the monetary compensations, there are lots more to gain on the platform! Well, some of my friends joined for the cash aspect but when they were not gaining much, some just went back to their normal lifestyles: facebook and all. I am glad i remained a presence still in the steemit community. I believe i could someday touch the lives of others through being present. In my own little way, i am trying and vying for that dream. In my own little way, touching lives. I have become, in my little way, a steemitestimony. Now i ask myself, if i had given hope up, what could have happened to those destined to find their paths through the little candle i should Lit? Or better still, what would be the fate of those who woukd still be assigned under my umbrella when i eventually get to that position i'm aspiring? For this only reason, i am sticking put.
If there is anything i am grateful about, it is that Steemit has been affixed to my lifestyle. My friends wont do without asking about steemit when asking of my welfare. They do know i love it! I love my presence in it! I love that i could be an agent of change and effect change. Steemit is not in any way a Noah's ark but where explorations are only limted by your unexplored potentials....
By the way,
Its been quite a while i dropped a comment on your posts. Hope you would forgive me and love me still. I am available now and promise to drop by more often.... I have missed you much ..... Jehovah continue to keep us..... Cheers hun💝💝
Life on steemit is the best. That is why we are saying steemit for PRESIDENT. My wife said I love the fact that you are doing what you love doing on this platform and I ended up telling him about @surpassinggoogle. Though she is not on this platform but she is a fan.
Thank you for that. Really touching. My regards to her and thank her for me for taking care of your beard
She is the reason why I have this beard on me.Things you do for the sake of love.(Lol).She loves it and does do take good care of it. I will deliver your greetings to her (ma ji se fu). One love bro.
Yes o...
It's better to be on steemit than any other social media. It's intellectually lucrative, very edutaining and more resourceful.
A nice platform to meet awesome people from around the globe.
Meanwhile, @aderonkemi
In relation to your confessional statement as regards being absent for a while, the #untalented Bureau of Investigation do hereby issue a subpoena against you, and you're expected to appear with a cogent alibi. 😁😁
Thank you.
So sweet that law part. I told one law woman from naija to join us here but she hasn't posted. We need de law here to play with us
@idunique, i'd implore the UBI to tamper justice with mercies. Lol...
Switie was your real intention here to make re-fall for you? Gosh, i so fell. I fell for you and when i am standing, i am loving you still
Switie was your real intention here to make re-fall for you? Gosh, i so fell. I fell for you and when i am standing, i am loving you still
Nothing but presence is what is needed for success in here. life here is better only with presence. More of the reasons your presence is of paramount to us.
@Surpassinggoogle, your absence makes my heart grows fonder. And it's like steemit is boring to me in spite of countless activities that take place.
My wish for you is always more strengths.
Thank you much. Jehovah's willing i will keep on here
I will never give up. I must fufill the purpose my late Dad wanted of me, a noble purpose. I have to ask for success and it has to come. Thank you for this inspiration.
Every human being conceived carries with him or her that innate ability that is uniquely his or hers. It is like our finger print. Lots of people may carry the same ability, but the way we use ours will make us unique.
These talents, gifts or strengths are our diamonds. We need to dig them. Nobody can dig them for us.
Once we find them, we should remove the dust. Keep polishing them. The more we take care of them, the more we can recognize the other diamonds in our lives.
Soon, our gifts and talents, just like diamonds, will shine brightly and will serve us well in the long run.
Because we took the time to search for them, the return of investment is more than what we have imagined.
Because our Creator saw that we are using them, He will bless us with more opportunities to apply them.
Make a promise to yourself. You’ll search for your diamonds. And you’ll make sure they will shine brightly. Thank you for giving me that extra push. I will surely do great things both here on steemit and my immediate environment.
You will reach those places! You are awesome.
I do want to end this year strong. I had big plans for the end of this year and even after my mum passed, these plans got bigger meaning and essence but i have been a bit slow and behind schedule.
I know Terry, it's a hard time for you... It's been awhile I came around because my device was not good, so when I came on and heard the news, I had wondered if am still gonna here from u this year, but here you are, still fired up. Had to make my entry for the #untalented-mama, Be strong Terry.
Trust me, the #untalented family shared this moments with u, u ain't alone.
If you want to support an extra witness and you support mine "steemgigs", it will be really helpful, especially in terms of giving me the direly needed extra drive & strength.
...Of course, done and dusted.
My prayers are with you too, You need it.
This a very fun activity in reality and easily keeps you "present" on steemit and in the minds of steemians (potential helper, friend, brother etc)
Very true, it's a way of showing that u are here to create a lasting relationship, get interactive and know about others.
Nice hearing from you @surpassinggoogle
Thank you very much bro, for so much!
@surpassingoogle you are so strong and consistent and despite your you didn't give up instead you made your plans bigger and even derived strength from a situation that was supposed to be a set back wow... I have said it before and am still goin to say it you are an inspiration. Keep up you would surely reap good
Thank you much for encouraging me. I will keep on!
yeah @surpassinggoogle you are an inspiration to many
And I am here, presenting my self and my deepest gratitude to the ever supportive human on steemit and that's you sir Terry, our @surpassinggoogle. Whenever I read your posts, I am always learning. There were times that I was discouraged of my little earnings here in steemit, and I decided to just leave, but then when you supported me with your upvotes I got recharged, thank you. But of course the knowledge I got whenever I am present here is already a great blessing to me...So I decided to stay and be present for the rest of my earthly life here in steemit.
Hahaha, things will certainly get better. 2018 will be better
I think steemit is the best place to learn. Here is my point, all I ever did in school was try to pass exams and impress my lecturers who never really cared if I passed or not, I would even spend my hard earned dime to achieve this goal. Here on steemit I have learnt for free and made some good money too. What I have learned on steemit is not limited as there are great minds from different fields of life coming through on a daily basis. So I totally agree with you here sir.
Another high level of truth here. Giving up means getting nothing while pressing on does not exactly mean getting it all but there is huge possibility that we might end up getting it anyways.
You have always been my best man without a wedding when it comes to living life. Stay strong for the community sir!
Lol... This one is very strong o...
New pickup line 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
haha! new pick up line indeed. But trust me, you should say what you mean cos I mean what I say. @surpassinggoogle for President.
I swear very strong words. @surpassinggoogle to the moon and beyond
This part's sweet too!
No doubts! Astronauts be looking at @surpassinggoogle like wtf just passed?
That part's sweet.
You spot all the spottables
You spot all the spottables
Weldone Sir! you are an eye opener. All we need is follow and follow and follow for there is a lot of truth in the path which you lead. You say real things and we get motivated by force.
This is just brilliant. You just spoke my mind and even more. Thank you. I am glad you shared this with us all.
Thereis an instance i always love to use and its about diamonds.
Diamonds are attractive because of their appearance and the value they carry. If one discovers acres of diamonds, the person can vastly accumulate great wealth. Who doesn’t desire to find such diamonds?
The great thing is…we all can find diamonds. They are existing everywhere. The surprising thing is most of the time they are just close to us. We don’t get to see them because we ignore their existence.
Find out how to find your diamonds that can offer you riches that you desire in any aspects of your life. Provided you find the right one, and act on different ways to increase its value.
It seems like it’s a common knowledge for all of us to use our strengths or talents. But the sad thing is, lots of people still set them aside.
We benefit from other people’s talents. We benefit from Jobs’ Apple creations, Edison’s light bulb, Ford’s automotive ideas or our mom’s cooking. Almost everyone around us contribute to our welfare in one way or another.
Now the interesting question is: How do other people benefit from our gifts or talents?
Our gifts or talents are ours but they are not just there for us. They are given to be shared with others. Just imagine the world if nobody shared a talent.
What a gloomy world it would be!
There’s no sense of delight when we only want to serve ourselves. Sharing our talents with other people can create more lasting fulfillment.
1 Peter 4:10
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
It is actually a win-win situation. We get to exercise our talent and other people on the other end receives a benefit from it. You are my inspiration here on steemit @surpassinggoogle. Thank you. Your reward is both on earth and in paradise.
Our gifts or talents are ours but they are not just there for us. They are given to be shared with others. Just imagine the world if nobody shared a talent.
Very true @lucyogo
If we can't make an impact in the society with our dexterity or talent, then we will be of all men most miserable.
That's why nature gave us different talents, so we can support and complement one another.
No doubt
I can't agree more @lucyogo. Your illustration of how well others have contributed to us in very many special ways is just amazing. Serving others is key especially when in the position to do that. We already have a role model here on steemit @surpassinggoogle. We together we raise the humanity flag and make the world a better place.
Yeah we will.
When you serve, you discover that often the most important things you have to offer are not things at all. You start to uncover the full range of resources at your disposal – your time, presence, attention – and recognize that the ability to give stems from a state of mind and heart, a place much deeper than the material. Inspired by the possibilities this opens up in every moment, you begin to discover humble opportunities to serve – everywhere
Awesomeness
@lucyogo. I seriously agree with you. Anyone that refuse to use the gifts or talent given to him has not fulfilled destiny. Life is meant to be lived to the fullness and with fulfillment is part of what makes life worth.
My major prayer to God always is to fulfill destiny and purpose. Nice word there
Amen to your prayers. It is very important to recognize your special gifts or talents, traits or creative strengths in order to live life to the fullest, because you will find the true meaning of life and fulfill its purposes, while you create your life effectively and choose it consciously to be happy.
If you discover your talents and use them wisely, you will be making a great personal contribution to yourself and the society.
Whoa! Thisi s truly beautiful. I have learnt a thing or two from this comment.
What a gloomy world the world would really be if we didnt share talents truly!!!!!
Yeah thats the importance of us sharing our talents with others.
Every one of us is heavenly gifted in a unique way just as @surpassinggoogle had been pointing out. Your innate abilities or aptitudes make you stand apart from others by making more effective and more successful and happy. They will also help you uncover the important objectives of life while making you feel victorious in all the affairs of your daily life that you deal with. Precisely, God-given abilities or aptitudes or talents that you have possessed make the greatest difference in your life providing you acknowledge them and get the most out of them for yourself and for others.
Some people think that they are not creative.In fact, each and every individual is unique in his existence.As every one of us differs in terms of qualities, every individual has different talents. The thing that is needed here is that one should discover one’s talent.It requires giving a serious thought about the way you live and the aspects of your life.This would not only lead you to discover your talent, but also to fulfill your objectives of life.
It takes depth to see more. This is where the #untalented curriculum came about and it will continue.
tnx for upvote
Well said @surpassinggoogle
We must be deep to gain the best from anything, even the bible says, deep callth unto deep. Your dept determine the extent to which you are rewarded.
Talking about consistent and persistent I must say it pays off,. I have been on steemit since September, i became inactive for some time, only to hear SBD has clock 15USD, I could only count my loses if I had stayed. I learn from experience which is the best teacher that it pays to be present and grow deeper.
The longer you stay, the deeper you get, you cannot produce beyond your deep. The difference between man and God is the dept of God.
The future of steemit is great but we must be willing to go deeper even when it seem like we aren't getting anything, we must fight to make our present here.
Thank you so much. You made a good remark
Passion for something leads to disproportionate time practicing or working at it. That time spent eventually translates to skill, and when skill improves, results improve. Better results generally lead to more enjoyment, and more passion and more time is invested. It can be a virtuous cycle all the way to extraordinary results.
Well Said @lucyogo
Skill is gotten from time spent and improve over time. Better result leads to more satisfaction, you nailed it.
Hmmmm.... To bear fruit upwards, a tree must first take root downwards. To rise to the top, we must first learn to build from the bottom. I can't but imagine the loses I have made those times I also walked away thinking it wasn't worth it. I have learnt my lessons and I am still learning.
We've learn our lessons
It's time to stick and remain here, cashing our presence here.
We also have the duty to teach others not to make same mistake.
Hmmmmm....Lord knows i am learning a lot under this post tonight!....
Wise words from a wise man
Thanks @aderonkemi
We all learn here not just from post but from comments.
You grasped all the graspables and thank you for sharing your testimonies. There is still awesomness and we are here. 2018 holds a lot. Let's stay. Deep is substance.
You are correct
I cannot make the same mistake again
I'm here to stay and will reap the fruit here.
First of all, I would like to congratulate you for you've been strong and kind-hearted throughout this year! Thanks for being a role model to most of us. Keep it up! You impart your knowledge about different matters in this world, and we could feel your sincerity thru your posts. u've got a big heart for your fellow steemians esp. to those who are in need. I'm not saying this just to impress you or anything else,but I'm saying this for you to be more inspired in extending help to others. Encouraging us to stay present and active in steemit is quiet impt. like what you said, " being present is "presenting yourself" constantly." I wish a lot of people would join this platform. One day, they'll realize how fortunate they are (like me) because they chose to become part of this community. Here, we share our knowledge, talent and skills, good attitudes, and of course love and care for others, and those are for free! We are learning while we are earning... as you said " there are many reputable great minds on steemit from all works of life, each incentivized to cook up knowledge (redundant and existent knowledge) and beautifully erupt it for free, this website is really beneficial. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and golden knowledge...we have voted you on witness and we are here to support #steemgigs. @surpassinggoogle Have a pleasant day!
Your comment was fully felt and it inspired me, like you wanted it to. Stay awesome plus sweet
Hello Terry,very nice one. You always have your way with word. Was almost gone, but you know what? Reading your post made me say to myself, "common dont go, stay with the fun, stay with the steemit life."
"Stay with me!"
So here i am, am staying wity you Terry!!!!
Good to know you bouncing back really strong.
This is what I like the most about Steemit - it rewards hard work! No matter is it great quality of photos, posts that will help community, or great quality stories, Steemit will find you and you will finally feel fulfilled. There is some knowledge in all of us, and this platform is formed on a way that easily connects people with similar interests, and pulls out that creativity and knowledge from all of us.
It finds you and you find yourself a bit more
The strength he is exhibiting right now is true and from within. Encouraging others to have the same zeal and passion for a course @surpassinggoogle believes in at this critical time of your life is mind blowing. Your joy will not fade out bro.
Ni oruko Jesu amin
I'm just loving this other part of you. Why? I don't know (lol). THe fact that you are Yoruba and a proud one for that matter. You are really making us proud as Yoruba and one Nigerian. Love you to my bone.lol (i really mean this words.)
I'm confused, you're writing in yoruba. Are you mixed breed?
@jeline, our own very Terry is Omo odua .... His surname is Ajayi!
Lol OK, thank you @aderonkemi
These are guesses. Don't get re-confused pretty
No wonder! Mo roo bee naa. How can an alien sabi our language this much.
Otun sope.. Ko tope.
I know naija more than you
Lol, omo Eko. Please come back home.
#BringBackTerry
Is a Nigerian and a proud one . Selah!
Hahaha i love you down to your beardo
Good to hear that you are staying strong @ceepee. With every achievement in life their is a desire to quit when it get tense. We are all with each other.
I do say
Steemit...
Together we belong....
Together in friendship....
Together we grow.....
@supersinggoogle is a strong man and God has giving him the strenght he need to help us minnows.
Thanks.
Happy festive season.
Keep on awesome
I will. Thank you sir.
Happy new year in advance.
Hahahahah... I can feel the joy imminent in this single comment. If there is anything Terry needs more, it is all the joy he can recieve...... I am staying too!!
In addition to the joy. It should be joy unspeakable and unmeasurable. He deserves all the best the world has to offer.
Ese pupo
I'm amazed you speak my native langauage @surpassinggoogle. I'm sure those Nigerians living in Manilla have done a great job.
let me give you a nickname in Yoruba language
BALOGUN
Don't be surprised. I know naija more than you.
Don't be surprised, we live on the same street
Love your Yoruba. Lol!. Really love to see that you know how to speak our language. You are truly the son of the soil. One love bro.
Let me answer by saying "ko to pe (meaning "you are welcome"
You are such as feeler. That's where your true beauty/sweetness lies
what about me @surpassinggoogle :P
Thank you switie
Absolutely I agree. You have to ask for success. Do not be discouraged and do not give up: A number of obstacles will be waiting for you on your way to success. We can call them stability test. People who change quickly on the first treadmill can never reach their goals, so they can whine about things they can not imagine. Your goal and your imagination is what made you do it. The secret of being a happy and successful person is hidden in this. If it was not the first time, try again and again. Why do people believe you if you do not believe in your imagination?
Yeah demand success. Within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.
What he learned through all of this was not to run from problems; in fact, they are exactly where you should go.
It is through solving difficult problems and overcoming frustration and fear that allows you to develop patience, poise, and peace in the most dire of circumstances.
Becoming successful often means an entire transformation in many parts of your life. The relationships, finances, health, and personal habits of successful people often look radically different the the average person’s.
This change is difficult. Evolving is painful, so most people don’t do it.
But for those who truly desire to become successful, the obstacle — fear of rejection, frustration, setbacks, anger, impatience…
This is exactly where you need to focus your efforts. Thank you for this
Sometimes, the harder route is more testimonial
yeah that the fruit of everything good in life begins with a challenge. You must have to suffer to grow. Growth is the only guarantee that tomorrow is going to get better.
These suffering mustnt necessary happen, that is why we are here!
yes we believe in you that's why we are here but the problem is now a days people give up so easily..
they don't even believe in theirselves..
Very true. You have said it all. Many times we are in the rush to drive it all home leaving out the possibility of stronger obstacles than our aspirations. The real truth is there is no obstacle in the world that is stronger than our vision. I believe the passion in us to achieve the desired goal fuels our ability to overcome the seemingly impossible obstacles. Success should be asked for. One should sought out for it. Thanks for sharing this pure and true insight @surpassinggoogle
Even moreso, in our part of the world
the problem is 99% of the people today are just assuming that somehow they get better.
very sad very sad. Have dreams but have goals so claim it, work hard to get it when you get it reach back pull someone else up each one , teach one...
the way @surpassinggoogle do it ..
you are inspiration to many
Absolutel on point. The real way to go to get real lasting success ni yen.
I can see that's what you truly represent brother.
Yah...
It has been said by many that he that has never encountered an obstacle has not tried something new. Life is a coin, it has two sides, we must always be prepared for any that fate decides to toss for us.
@idunique, i really do miss you dear. It is only on @surpassinggoogle's post i can catch you... Why so?
Dear @aderonkemi
Truly it's been awhile, of recent my device misbehaved, but am back. Hope you're enjoying the yuletide? Best wishes dear.

Becos he misses me and i miss you and he seeks me out for missing you. He likes the roundabout

Certainly ... You are very true, dude..
But also remember that the same success been mentioned is a process and in following the process is when you can remain relevant in the scheme of things.
No mattear never gets discouraged.
I think i learnt more of that from @surpassinggoogle.
whatever happened to you never feel helpless and never blame anyone..
that's how you achieve success
so true ..... amazing thinking bro
Completely agree! :) Starting from yesterday I am going to be online for 10-12h a day and enchanting the community :) I am very bullish on steemit :))
Hahaha some mathematics in the English. i calculated!
Even moreso, in our part of the world
Exactly
Love this comment sooo much. Worth upvoting. True talk.
@surpassinggoogle.
The word Curriculum got me here... I wish everyone who is influential here can follow suit. It means creating a template for good living not just for yourself but something other people can also function within its boundaries, calling the untalented talented because truly everyone is talented. Giving hope to dead dreams and laid back lives, firing up the hope of greater and better days ahead, what better Curriculum can we have?
The world needs this Curriculum. It changes the mind-set of people and will eventually change how people see and accept each other,that way we will have a better world.
Thanks @surpassinggoogle for going back to the box to reload, fortify yourself, just to refire and not retire on you believe in humanity. Jehovah will reward you in a way you never imagined.
It really takes the strong-willed to have such mentality as Terry's...... He is a strong breed!
You spot the spottables.

It is 4:16am here in my place, I have read your post about how you struggle about the passing of your mum and I do really feel the pain of losing someone you love. I remember when my grandama died when I was 12 yrs old, it took me 9 years to accept the fact that she was gone, there were nights that I would wake up and cry because I am missing her, I couldn't even look at her huge painting in the house of my aunt as it will double the pain. I commend you for despite your ordeal you are seeing things in the most positive way. People who are at their low points in life or who are weak though still help people to have strength and encourage positivity are strong person and you are one of them. You continue to inspire us to use our ordeal as an opportunity to bring out the best in us, be strong and to always stay positive! All the best to you @surpassinggoogle!
Terry's recovery is magical and it's just a sign of strength. I have been there before too, losing my dad 2012 wasn't easy to let go especially when your dad is your closest friend. I have learnt to reach for the strength within in times of pain from this man @surpassinggoogle. Thank God you also let it go eventually even if it took 9years. Better days ahead for us all in Jesus name.
Amen
I pray calamity doesnt stone us all than what it has already done but truly, the recovery rate of Terry is awesomely fast! I wonder what not if it was me or any other person thst has such shaky experience. Jehovah continue to protect us all... Stay blessed
In Jesus' name amen
Thank you for inspiring me by sharing your experience. Jehovah heal us all in Jesus name amen. For us, He is the only one that can heal those pains
It's 100 percent true, you can say that again because what i've learn from steemit has helped me a lot and those kind of things comes from great minds.
God i'm giving a salute to this post, my brain is getting filled already. Too much lessons, motivation, in one single post. This must have been a long post when i first saw it, but i don't regret a bit reading this. you're a genius bro, i'm glad i meet you.
Stay ever present..... Anyone ever noticed that the lessons @surpassinggoogle drives home via his posts paints a picture in the mind. I'm assuming that is his real intent though. The images, just like a plant, it begins to enlarge and grow itself with less effort and turns into our reality eventually. I have screen grabbed several lessons here already as visiting it later might keep crashing the browser. Thanks for giving to the world your being.
That's my intentions. To line up the minds and hearts out there with those images you refer to
Thank you bro. You inspired me
Those lines just gave me a 100 percent motivation of my life.i don't even know where to start from..When you talked about great minds on steemit i see one of them in you. You're a blessing to the community. i can't imagine what i've learn so far just on a single post..Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you much. I do those one-lines, to line up the hearts and minds out there
Fortified in my language means "Igbaradi". I really know what to expect isn't less of Awesomeness. I think we all should have that box in our lives where we can run into and come back strengthened than before.
I've only been on steemit for 2 months and everyone i know keep talking about you..And i started going through your blog, and never for a day now i don't go through your blog to check if you have something new.
And i'm very happy coming across this post today because you've just told me how to deal with our loss and bounce back ever better. you've told me how to go about this community. This is more than an hat trick, you taught more than enough in a single post.
All to re-tell you how valuable you her. I do the sleepless nights so you can shine. Time to shine
Welcome to the untalented, yet talented family. An introduction of any newbie to the community is probably not complete without @surpassinggoogle's mention. I hope that someday we all can shoulder some of the responsibility of building a sustainable community off him and join the good course to make this place habitable for all to stay.
To me if steemit happen to be a piece of land then i will say my dream is to build a sky scrapper with so many offices that can accommodate a lot of people, if it happen to be a country then i will say my dream is to build a country that gives room for so many creative talent. Since it is a social media, my dream is for me to build a brand that will always be remembered, that is why i tend to stick to the creative part of steemit utopian to make amazing suggestion and also by seeing what am capable of doing. @surpassinggoogle you have shown that me from what i have seen so far here on steemit that you are ready to support anybody who is ready to support other people here on steemit, that is why i tend to be one of your loyal followers. I think am yet to gain a stable foundation here, but i believe i can do more even with the little resouces i have at my disposal. Yesterday may be regarded as history, but i intend to create a good record Gods willing everything will be put in place.
Oya mr dreamer.... Lol...
Gain foundation. Pace things. Grow in your substance. Stay present on steem. Dreams equaller reality
Nice to see you after 03 days. I was anxiously waiting for your next blog post, as I have lot of things to share. But 1st we talk on the topic. Here is a famous quote on the subject:
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
― Winston S. Churchill
In general everyone has different definitions about success, like:
No doubt, our world is full of these type of things, people are frustrated, they get expensive food for their family and their income is too low to feed. War and terror is at its peak in some parts of life, so victims of such places have a different definition of SUCCESS.
In totality, only a few people would be there who has the right definition towards success:
Education is the thing which turns the directions of ignorant and every negative thing in the world. [ Yesterday I read a blog post of @purepinay and I was so glad to know that I found another pure person who has the same heart for poor and needy people like @surpassinggoogle, here is her blog post link:
[ https://steemit.com/resolution/@purepinay/my-new-years-resolutions-a-rough-draft ]
Whenever I read your blog I left this world temporarily because you write the stuff beyond our routine thoughts.
I joined steemit in July, 2017 and believe me if I didn't met you in September them might be I was not here at steemit.
The journey of steemit started after starting reading and commenting on your blogs. And the most important impact was that when you SUPPORTED me at every single time.
IN MY VIEW POINT YOUR MOTHER WAS A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN, AS SHE BUILD @SURPASSINGGOOGLE IN HER LIFE.
Success through steemit is really a success, as I got lot of awareness from here. I have lot of friends here now. I can ask any type of question to my fellows or from seniors. I'm writing whatever I want. I'm creating lot of thing everyday without doing any plagiarism. This is the real success in true spirit. All the credit goes to you dearest @surpassinggoogle. Keep smiling ever and Stay Blessed!
@purepinay is my sweetheart and i am sure yours too. I was on her post. Thank you for a lovely comment. That is exactly how success works and identifying this is what will keep you here on steemit. Even on steemit, like in your case, people have different reasons for being here and different things that fulfills them
Thanks for your kind words again. I'm a big fan of yours now onward @purepinay is also in thia list. Everyone has different defination for life and aspects of life. This is the only education who make the definations of everything correct. @purepinay is on this way and I love her challenge. Keep spreading love dear @surpassinggoogle and stay blessed.
I dont care about steem price wheather it is 3-4 $ or 30 - 40$ . I just love steemit and i addicted to it in just one month ...earning and learning both things are present here ...and terry bro ..you are amazing person ...you unites the whole steemit ...Thanks for the support bro... I'm now adding you as vote for witness..thankyou
In my own view, we can call steemit a community because of the handiwork of @surpassinggoogle. I also almost gave up on the platform, not just because of the upvotes but it just gives this feeling that one is not really welcomed here or appreciated, then came "untalented" which became the pillar to reviving the lost hope on steemit. You see today, steemit is a life saver and a channel between ones goals and physical reality. Take the world from me, but give me steemit.
We will so push for #untalented to be farthest-reaching. Our breed needs it
As a newbie, I've noticed something is different about Steemit than any other social media website.
It is a community of those that love to give and receive words of encouragement.
When you post a photo you took and someone says "Awesome picture!" doesn't that bring a smile to your face and make you want to do a little dance?
When you read a story that touches your heart and you reply with encouraging words doesn't that make you feel good?
I think the Steemit system actually encourages this type interaction and brings out the best in people.
I find those that are positive and encouraging to people are rewarded. While those that are negative and nasty to people tend to be ostracized and give up.
It certainly is an interesting dynamic and one I'm happy to be a part of.
You are right @kartiksingh. I might not stay because of the price but i will definitely stay because of the friendship and daily learning.
We will so push for #untalented to be farthest-reaching. Our breed needs it
We all believe in you @surpassinggoogle
Yes sir @surpassinggoogle. We all need the #untalented. It has been a helping hand.
Your addiction to steemit will eventually pay off. Just keep your eyes on the ball. we must be present till we get to our breakthrough point.
Many of us are seriously addicted to steemit and the good news is that there is no crime in that. Is good to be addicted to something positive and productive.
Steemit for president.Lol.
You are right bro
No crime at all
Make steemit produce president for 2019 self
Yep! The goal in front is far greater than the obstacles of now... We wont waver (www)!!!
Loving this www acronyms, we are strong no waving @aderonkemi
The entire #steemgigs and #untalented family really appreciate your kind gesture, @surpassinggoogle has really been helping to keep the interest of minnows in the platform.
Thank you much. Your mindset is awesome and with this mindset, you are bound to see more things. Stay awesome and thank you much for the vote
Cant agree with you more. Steemit is a very unique and great platform. If you see other social media platform like Facebook and other who uses our personal data, sell them to advertiser and manipulates us.
I am always present because I love talking to @cleverbot it's only on Steemit haha 😅
Glad
I did not stop. I just paused to read this long post. Haha 😝😝
Hahaha
You're right @surpassinggoogle, the Bible did not say "do not smoke cigarettes" but it does say "not to defile the body".
Beautiful words you have spoken! Example of life about bible and comparison in life.
You are right again! On steemit, breakthrough-INTEL can pop up/out anytime.
I often visit @timcliff's posts @acidyo, @aggroed, @donkeypong and your's. And I would like to know about @utopian-io because all of my projects are about charity works.
Thank you bro
I've been patiently waiting for your new post, I'm glad you're strong. I have to read your post more than once to get the information you're passing to me, yes to me. And I'm taking your advice to be present and relevant. Wow, steemgigs just like fiverr right? I know I'm still a work in a progress, and I pray God sees me through. Cute pictures
https://steemit.com/growth-projects/@steemgigs/steemit-growth-projects-steemgigs-bringing-the-beauty-of-the-steem-blockchain-and-decentralization-to-the-limelight-using-fun
OK, thank you very much. The trending word I'm hearing these days is 'decentralization'. Everything in the world would soon be decentralized. Lol
Persistence eventually pays off. Ask winners and champions and they wouldn't say less. Not so easy sometimes but necessary. Running, walking, crawling, just get it going with a consistent practice and with the best approach is one of the life lesson I have learnt this year stemming from this great platform. Thanks for emphasizing on persistence, it's a needed ingredient at this stage of my life. Thanks @surpassinggoogle
I totally agree with you friend. Persistence pays
Success isn’t a first time type of deal. Many people, if not most people, will fail at least once before they become successful. A lot of those failures are caused by the simple concept of learning as you go.
They may have realized that the idea they had for a business just wasn’t quite there, or they realize that the effort they were putting into their goals was not efficient enough. The failure causes them to learn and grow, therefore becoming better for the next time they try again.
If people were to be discouraged by their first failures in life, they’d struggle to achieve success, simply because they wouldn’t be growing enough in order to achieve the knowledge needed.
Hiiii Dear
@surpassinggoogle,
I am waitung for your post. and now here in pakistan time is 12:45 night and i am sleeping, suddenly i wake up and check my cell phone, then i saw your new post and very glad to see your valuable article, my wish to comment to on your post.
your new project #untalented #contest yo want to start. thats awsome.
I hope,whatever you think and which project you start your ideas are so strong that every plan got high success because you always think about the #Steemit and steem community.
Stay Blessed Forever.
Hahahaha...
Even down here in Nigeria, it's night already.
But I skipped to my feet and subscribed for data immediately I saw @surpassinggoogle post.
It's that interesting.
Great to see my fellow Nigerian doing this much to keep up with Bro Terry
I think Terry has surpass google here already.
Yes o...
we are heading to the moon.
Hahahahahha.... Steemwatchers.... I sight una o... 😁😁😂😂
What an exciting post, so sorry about your mum. Your write up is spirit filled. Kudos
So agreed. Thank you. So much depth for you to have described as spirit-filled. You know what you are talking about
Jehovah bless us all in Jesus' name amen. Thank you for the loving effort.
Amin amin
Great post, powerful and motivational words from a great mind. I agree with you on curation being a talent, most people may not really be gifted when it comes to writing, but very good in summarizing the article. And the community can only grow and expand with out effort, from seminars and meet ups. Everything you said today was on point and it will enlighten a lot of us here...Once again great post
That's so true because it's even difficult to forgive someone for the third time for the same mistake. I'm glad you said you only went inbox to come out stronger. You gave me so much energy and motivation after reading this post. I think i've learn a lot for today. Thank's for sharing
Hmmmm..... Forgiveness is key to unlocking one's happiness and peace really and I believe it's a choice. To choose to forgive someone is often a difficult task except with the help of God because left to our natural human logic, people don't deserve it,but how much of the life that we live, do we deserve?
I'm touched already by having to hear someone forgive people even more than a hundred times. There is nothing as doing too much with forgiveness because when yo think that what someone has done to you is beyond forgiveness, you hear someone who has forgiven multiple times and the best you can do is to join the queue of those who make such choice to stay happy rather than live in the bitterness of all that people have done to them.
There are levels of suffering and depths of life that you would have reached that many things become forgiveable/ See the world doesn't know these things but many have done time and paid for their crimes in suffering
@noraliza. The human nature will always want to speak but we have been given the grace to suppress our flesh. I will say it easy to forgive than to forget. Forgetting takes a longer process. So i understand @surpassinggoogle point of view. All the both forgiveness and forgetting is possible through the help of Jehovah.
So glad. I havent been less productive in the chats recently, so i reach out to each one like the dms in a post
oh man you've said it all,
steem is a blessing to so many steemians out their, we minnows are just trying to cope and catch out the lost time in not starting earlier with the platform, our voice when we post ain't loud enough always get drown in the crowd,
though everybody is in a hurry and not ready to be caught in the traffic,
if i can eat from one particular tree with out disobeying the laws of steemit so be it, consistency they say is the key, i have been putting my best in everything i do, but its like the more i try to do me the more it backfires on me, (☺)
i understand the platform so well but the problem why I'm not succeeding is like a misery to me, but giving up was never part of the plan, success was.
thanks for this piece of post, i can try trail on it lets see if it glitters like gold to me, i believe
...but giving up was never part of the plan, success was.
That's the spirit, it was never part of the plan.
Continue being awesome bro.
Sincerely, i truly do regret not starting out steemit earlier than now but i am happy i can make a mark still wven if i started only yesterday with enough determination. Here we are, subjects of envy to ignoramus of the steemworld. We should be grateful.
we should be grateful, a grateful heart has nothing to loss.
About steemit, There is a ton you still dont know and a lot of history and its not in the whitepapers. I put all the info you need in my much older posts. Overall, i can't say your are not succeeding. When i was minnow, my success was in the form of partnerships and opportunities. There is no way you are not succeeding. You are whale to me
me a whale 🐳, ☺, i heard many people calling me that, well how i get to this whale level is like a misery to me, but anyways i am so happy i attain such height. the man above is my guild.
You got on steemit at its best of times. Older minnows are the buried ones in reality and there are ton of them
i have ideas i do love to initiate to this platform, so help me God.

thank you so much my friend. if you want to be a successful user of steemit easy enough. just post your post not give up at least 2 or 3 post per day. the main thing we have to have patience. that's all thanks
thank you dear for advice....I agree with you
Hahaha thank you but sometimes i am not productive and posts may not come out rich. Thank you for valuing me same as i value you
Thx terry, a very good post. presence is indeed the most important on steemit.. each hour there are chances.. And if you have the will to succeed it happens.. for example I gave my daughter a steemit account on christmas day.. https://steemit.com/@creatisa
yesterday she made her first post... and see what happened.. she has some votes and is enthousiastic.. she has more then she will ever have on facebook, insta and other...
So all steemians. go for your chances.. follow terry 's advice and be present!!
Wow... This are one of those moments I wished I was up to a Dad, laughs
Will introduce them to steemit, it will be a cool gift.
Terry, has done justice to it. Presence is the driving fuel in this platform, the need to create mutual relationships is paramount.
She is awesome
Thank you.. the new generations steemians..
Most people lose out in when they are too late. "Purist of Happiness" is the movie that I was reminded of after reading this blog.
Right now on steemit. It is still early
Yea! @surpassinggoogle you are very right. The solution to ur problem might be next to you
In your sokoto
Smilez! Don't know u understand my language sha! Your r amazing
Oh boy.... So it's true. It's only a Nigerian(Lagos breed) that can talk this way. I'm beginning to know you @surpassinggoogle. Lol
Great post @surpassinggoogle . I had a general suggestion for Steemgigs. All steemgigs should give out the prize money as steem power to the winners so that they stay committed in the long term growth of Steem.
Though this is a small change it can have profound effect on Steem buy having people invested into the future of this blockchain.
It's very goooooood!
@surpassinggoogle your effort in fair curation and in blogging to encourage everyone is appreciated. I think that is your calling on steemit. Thank you!
thank you for the wonderful msg.

Well spelt out. God bless your visions.
I am inspired more.
What i could pick from this was that we should try to leave a Lasting Impression to People
“Don’t be a pepper on the eyes of people; Rather be the salt on their tongue and make a difference that influences their sense of belonging to the earth.”
If wewant to leave a lasting imprint to people we encounter, use whatever we have to offer. These are our gifts and talents.
I really enjoy the story shared by Arianna Huffington on her book, Thrive. It is about her sister, Agappi, who graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
Despite the awards she received, she didn’t get the parts she hoped for when she auditioned for a theatre play. This led her to be discouraged to use her talents.
But a random encounter from a stranger changed the trajectory of how she sees her talents. She took the courage to talk to a random stranger which opened up a conversation about theatre play. At that same moment, she opened up herself and shared her talents with a woman who is apparently aware of the play.
She did a short monologue and the woman broke in tears after being moved on the way she acted. She felt more encouraged than ever. And on that same bus, she had her important lesson:
“That moment of sharing without an agenda of getting a part wasn’t about the outcome but about the joy of touching others and giving unconditionally what was mine to give. And that brought with it a tremendous sense of fulfillment.”
Thank you for the reminder of exhibiting my talent and gifts. I will definitely go back to that book and enrich my self more. Thank you @surpassinggoogle.
You really made huge points.
Normally if something’s hard, it’ll be worth the effort, whereas anything easy probably only gives you a short little burst of happiness. Most people absolutely hate hard work, yet there are those who just get on with it because they understand what this hard work’s worth.
The hard to get things are what most people will just dream about, whilst they continue to carry out every easy task that comes their way. The minority of people will commit to the hard work and have a much much greater chance of achieving their dreams.
What’s easy doesn’t require persistence. What’s hard does.
There is nothing as sweet as fulfillment. Even if you achieve something that look like it. This might still not bring fulfillment but when you achieve the real goal itself then automatic fulfillment comes in. hat is optimizing ones talent. Nice comment dear. Go back to the and do more.
For a long time, I directed my focus on racking up achievement not fulfillment in life. I thought if I just set goals, worked hard and accomplished some extraordinary things, I would feel full. However, what I discovered to the contrary is I still felt a void. Amazing achievements do not in and of themselves yield a sense of purpose and meaning and are absolutely no guarantee of personal fulfillment. Granted, I experienced periods of delight but the sensation was short-lived. If you truly believe and desire fulfillment, start the process of discovering what that experience is for you (I did).
I don't know to what extent this humanity drive will take us but I know for sure that the community you are building with your kind words and selfless personality will survive the test of time and rebrand the world that we live in.
Your perception is so true, that which encourages us to ask for success. Personally I have believed many times that life will happen to me in its time, but eternity might be the next bus stop judging from the world population of people who share the same expectations from life as I do. @surpassinggoogle just taught me that life will or might not happen to you until you ask for it.
Persistent in doing a particular thing especially when it is a good course is vital. Why do we give up so easily though. You have taught me to understand that the downtime which most times is always in the beginning actually makes the story sweeter and the learning process better.
Our gifting aren't actually ours to keep to theirs to use. How can a steward even hold too firm on to what the master has given to him for others.
You are a voice of hope to a whole lot of people and you will always stand tall @surpassinggoogle
Yes and a big yes/ With the way is going about his post, comment and programs like the #untalented and #steemgigs the sky will be his beginning. Not everyone has the gift to connect the way @surpassinggoogle does it. No matter the storm, jis words and thoughts will surely overcome any test.
Love for me is the secret of @surpassinggoogle. Just keep loving then you will be able to build a better world.
I completely agree with you Steemitt is an amazing platform and if at first you can not do anything, you should not give up, you should try to look for yourself, everything will try again. We have the saying "If you suffer for a long time anyway it will all come" :). an excellent post.
Yah...
it could be challenging at the inception, but then, nothing good ever comes easily. Perseverance should be the driver.
In Steemites as in the game of basketball, first you learn how to get into the basket, and then you collect laurels :) Thank you for a very interesting post.
We all need power, that power used in life, power used for helping other people, power used for steem, but finally we need power to connect, to be open for other insights and the power to LOVE.
Wow. Wow. Thank you for the manner of explanation. It really passed the point. While i was giving this some thoight, a friend came to my mind.
Annie is one of the most generous people I know. Not because she gives money away all the time, but because she unselfishly shares her talents. She does not wait for any recognition. She finds joy when she uses her talents.
I met her in a crocheting group. Her hands are very fast in looping yarns around. In a matter of few hours, she can finish a prayer shawl to be sent to elderly people in nursing homes. These elderly people love these shawls because they feel like they receive a warm hug when they use them. On top of it, they like the idea that someone devoted time to create them something.
Be inspired by Annie. She uses her talents right in her own house, yet, they benefit others. And thats what we arw here doing on steemit. You mustnt be in your comfort zone to use your talents, while at home you can bless lives on the social media such as steemit with your quality content. May God meet all your heart desires.
thank you for your awesome post @surpassinggoogle
