Today marks my fiftieth (50) day stay on steemit. I have gained fair knowledge and experience in no small way.
Before I write further I would like to show appreciation to a great mother and steemian in person of @bethwheatcraft who has inspired me and made me think out of the box in writing this post, her latest post was awesome. Check it out here:

INTRODUCTION
Most of the authors we have on the steem blockchain are superficial, Many superficial steemians are everywhere in the community, most of their content carry little or no significance and are surface satisfactory to any reader. To have a bright start on steemit you have to be technical in writing and give other author posts a good read and comment.
I'm sorry to say this but steemit is not for the preliterate but for the educated and smart gifted people.
In the house of steemit, if you wish to be curated you have to be deep to the level the vision of the founding fathers in person of @ned, @dan and steem witnesses envisioned for this social blockchain, witnesses like @pharesim @someguy123 @followbtcnews @teamsteem @neoxian @damarth @ats-david @themarkymark @aggroed @hr1 @Netuoso @theprophet0 @jerrybanfield @adsactly @surpassinggoogle @joeparys @curie and the likes.
They say "the most precious things are not found on the surface of the earth, the same goes to all steemit authors that are superficial in writing and therefore they get low or no curation from their readers. They are ignorant of the fact that whalish curation are only found on quality content.
WHO ARE THE SURFACE STEEM AUTHORS?
They are shallow in writing.
They don't know the rules binding in the steem Blockchain.
According to @ilyastarar previous post I read which was insightful, they are the type that leave foolish comments that summon the flag of a whale.
The window of the post is opened here, take a peep:
https://steemit.com/steemiteducation/@ilyastarar/how-not-to-comment-on-steemit-7-things-you-should-stop-doing-to-avoid-being-flaggedThey are the type that sees steemit platform as only a money making source.
They are authors who don't belong to a community in which they can grow(they don't know that without a father(a whale's, dolphin, witness community) they can't have a feather to fly on the steem blockchain and get the best out of steemit).
They are authors who engage in copy and paste content, they have zero originality in anything they write, engage in the act of plagiarism alot.
THE ANATOMY OF A STEEM WHALE
Steem whales are authors that are:
Deep in the experience of the steem blockchain
Authors that don't commit plagiarism
Authors that are steem-filled from the top of their head to the sole of their feet.
Authors that are hard working, they are not known to be lazy.
Authors that are filled with the rules nd regulations of the blockchain.
Authors that can discern original content, low quality content and flattery post.
Authors that hunger and thirst for the things of steemit.
Authors that are teachable meaning they can teach the things of steemit and in return be taught. They don't claim to know it all.
Authors that have simplicity in all things they do in the steem blockchain.
Authors that have the capacity to adapt to change In boom or dipping of the crypto market, change in rules and regulations of the community, they know how to turn disadvantage to advantage by innovating stability on their blogs and getting the best out of the situation
Authors that are incurable givers, they host contest, even when celebrating(be it a milestone in followers, comments, anniversary) they do cheerful give away, they know the power of giving (this encourages minnows not to quit and to make them believe in the roadmap of the social blockchain of steemit)
Authors that understand the dynamics of purpose, they know the purpose that steemit offered to them. Too sad, when an author does not know his purpose on steemit, lack of curation is inevitable
Authors who engage and saddle themselves with responsibilies of the blockchain by setting out activities to help minnows and projects that will help progress the steem career of all surface steem authors who seek them.
Authors that has a niche in the writer's block. They are well known as specialists on what they write and focus on
Authors that go on a voting spree to curate undervalued high quality content.
CONCLUSION
So far so good these are marks of a steem whales to take cognizance of.
As a matter of fact to all superficial authors you should endeavour to question, unmask, invest in yourself and place a push on your steemit career with what's written here today and a whale might come eat your post with an upvote.
Dear all,
Your thoughts on this post will be most welcomed, free free to leave a comment in the comment box

What's funny
the way you drew a real whale to compare it with the whales from steemit :D
@loonyfool funny you.
The inspiration 🐋 just came on me unawares and I found myself writing this, I hope it was helpful to you.
Thanks for reading 👌
I know I'm funny, I didn't mean to offend you, I just wanted to say your post is still informative, being funny is good you know ? It's not an insult. You have to be funny to keep most people's focus. Well not for me. I also appreciate serious things. I prefer serious things to focus. No problem. I just wanted to show my appreciation, your post is interesting for me, you summed it all up well, I agree with you there are many shallow people on here, just like in the real world, hoping more and more "deep" people will get on Steemit !
Hello, I have been on Steemit for about 24 days. Some of these things I have figured out by engaging with the community. Some of the other points you made I hadn't even thought about before. I have to say the urge to flatter someone so that they will upvote your comment is very strong. I've done it myself and felt bead after. Since then I have made the choice to always be real and true on Steemit just as I am in life. Peace.
Haha I was once like this but not until I join alot of steemit groups who tutored us to be sincere.
I'm glad my post enlighten you.
Keep steeming👌
