A throw back on a friend's post
Just recently a friend of mine @crypto.piotr made an interesting comment on a post saying “Whether it’s good to support quality content or support people to make quality content. Actually, I have been thinking of this comment for quite sometime now and I decided to write this piece to throw more light on what exactly my friend @crypto.piotr meant.
It’s an innate behaviour of almost every human being to feel happy when he is appreciated or applauded for something he/she has done. Growing up I thought all the series of Speech and Prize Giving days that are held by school authorities to appreciate some students were just for fun by little did I know that there was a real motive behind organizing such events. These events are held to reward and appreciate hardorwing students and also encourage the ones that are lagging behind to also put in their best. Well I can’t say absolutely that all students would definitely perform but the little psychological manipulation that I see here is that because almost everybody would love to be rewarded they would put in their best to perform in all activities that are held in school.
My little Problem
However, sometimes some administrators fail to acknowledge up and coming students who might be doing better than before. I don’t know whether it’s based on their reward system which is only to select the extraordinary ones or those who perform to the peak. Let’s not forget that when such students are appreciated it encourages them to do better and pushes then to put up their “A game on” and gradually you would have moulded an intelligent student.
Steemit platform is of no difference as content makers on this platform are rewarded for the quality of their content. It’s been approximately a year since I joined this platform and I am happy at my progress so far even though I would not stick up my nose in the clouds thinking I am all perfect but I know I have been doing my best on this platform to increase the quality of posts on this platform. I have seen other young content makers who also make quality posts on this platform yet they are not giving much attention like the oldies on this platform. My reference to young and oldies is not with respect to individual’s age but rather how long he/she has been on this platform.
Don’t get me wrong folks and I don’t mean in any way that those outstanding creators who genuinely deserve audience because of the high quality of posts they make should not be given the needed attention but just saying that let’s encourage the upcoming ones too . To mention but a few are @hatuss and @crypto.piotr are some of the great content makers I have come across on this platform and they give every little piece of post they make with such a fine touch.
A Question that we have to ask ourselves?
When these guys and other great content makers are gone or get too old to make posts on this platform can steemit still boast as one of the content platforms with quality posts?
The Way Forward
I believe it’s high time we support other good content makers out there and mould them into the geniuses that this platform deserves. These content writers need subscribers, need audience to help promote their posts in various tags so that their posts can trend on the steemit blockchain. In view of this I have created a telegram group where all beginners on steemit can join to get the support of other community members in terms of audience of posts. I believe we can all help each other by following some simple guidelines which are going to be stipulated in the telegram grouped.
Join this group and let's get interactive on how to improve our content, get audience and more followers :)
I am always open to ideas and suggestions so you feel free to pm me at any time

And please about the image above it simply shows that the great shoes of the oldies need to be filled by the young ones, so let's all help groom them :).
Dear friend @ikkelins, thank you for sharing this publication, I found this article thanks to the reference of our common friend @crypto.piotr.
Maybe it is reasonable this concern you have but I must tell you that there are people who are responsible for supporting and training content creators on this platform, I myself do not consider myself a creator of outstanding content, but since I met our friend @crypto.piotr this has empowered me and I have seen the progress and evolution in my content and this work is being done with a growing community.
Welcome to the party! I believe that supporting good content and trying to be excellent in everything we do is important, but beyond that there is mutual commitment, the bonds of friendship that can be created in the midst of this ecosystem, understanding mutual needs and trying to help each other, companionship, empathy among other things that interpersonal relationships give you.
Thanks for your post.

Thanks for the having time to read this post mate @fucho80
You are right about the honest attitude of @crpto.piotr he has made several suggestions to my post where i could make it more catchy to my audience. I wish there was more of his kind though, because i am sure this platform would turn out to be great with the likes of him helping other new members to interact very well on this platform.
Furthermore, it would be great if we really ensure the harmony in this young community we have started here. Hopefully we can also help to nurture other young writers in the near future. What do you think? @fucho80 and thanks again for having a look at this piece. Very grateful.

You're right, buddy, you need more pioters on this platform, people who do not think only about their growth and their gain, people who as they grow up drag others up with them.
We are called to take their example and as we grow to make others grow with us, that is the challenge that we must now pose.
For me it was a pleasure to read you and know how you think brother.

Selflessness is one of the common attitude of @crypto.piotr and i am glad just as you are to have met him.
And you are right, just as he has taken time to nurture some writers on this platform it is also needed of them to help other upcoming ones. I am glad you liked this post, expect other amazing ones in the nearest future :) @fucho80

Dear @fucho80
We need more community leaders who will realize, that working together as community can bring better results (for others and for themself).
Yours
Piotr
Correct brother @crypto.piotr, I think it's a matter of conscience, you can only go faster but accompanied go further, it is that social conscience that differentiates the leaders of the "bosses" because they are people with a spirit of solidarity that motivate you to follow your footsteps.
That's right, we need more community members and i think you are doing great yourself with our little community you know...Keeping us all in support of each other. More grease to your elbow bro :)

Hello, @ikkelins.
I think you're right because there are many people who think that the level of content of Steemit has declined. It is probable since I suppose that it no longer pays what it previously paid when the STEEM was worth a lot. However, there are those who continue to improve day by day and it is necessary to educate and direct the new recruits of this platform to get used to creating quality content and manage to highlight Steemit as the best social network content over all others.
I came here through my dear friend @crypto.piotr
Let's keep in touch
Thanks a lot for the feedback @jadams2k18 and building a strong community to help other creative young writers is one of my mission on this platform. I hope with the help of @crypto.piotr and all the community members we can help encourage other upcoming writers to give off their best.

Dear @ikkelins
Thank you for sharing link to your publication with me buddy. I can only feel proud to be mentioned by you :) You managed to put a huge smile on my face already.
Indeed. The only thing is that once you're young you will not understand that. Instead of showing appreciation kids develop "hate" towards other rewarded students. At least that is my impression.
The other thing is that schools do not reward creative kids and creative projects. They reward those who study hard. Meaning: kinds who memorize a lot.
So Steemit platform is quite different in that particular aspect. It reward different achievements and being creative is one of those things rewarded.
ps. Im sorry for not joining telegram group, but I checked it and it already look like very "active" (meaning spammy) place hehehe :) All discord or telegram chats are like that.
ps. I will share this post with few good friends if you dont mind :)
Upvote on the way :)
Yours, Piotr
Thanks for the upvote and i really appreciate the extra hand in making this post reach other people @crypto.piotr. Oh yeah about the rewarding of school children i think you are right. These days only those who memorize a lot get rewards.
Thanks once again,

That's one thing which is not fair and it is my goal as well as some of our honest community members such as @crypto.piotr @fucho80 to help curb this. Hopefully we can turn the tables around in the near future.
