RE: On NVC, Whale Bashing, Expectations, and Quitting Your Job

in #vlog8 years ago

When I saw the trending post about the person quitting their job for Steemit, I really wished there was a way to support them without making it seem only brave instead of brave and definitely, definitely not for everyone. When I first started there was a user who posted openly about trying to live off Steemit and got very upset when they released a t-shirt and a cute girl released a really similar t-shirt a few days later and she got the recognition. Being an entrepreneur can be far more discouraging than that! As Steemit develops, I hope that there will be fewer "How to Get Rich Off Steemit Like I Did" type articles.

Dan's post on non-violent communication reminded me, the way all his posts do, that we have a philosopher king here (apologies if my Plato is rusty and the analogy fails). Steemit is such a cool unicorn. I still feel so awed and lucky to have found this community. I always appreciate your posts and like this upgrade to video. Thank you for reminding us all how to voice our needs.

Great comment, @pulpably. Thank you! I'll have to read up on the philosopher king idea... it sounds familiar but I'm a combination of rusty and ignorant when it comes to some Plato stuff. :)

And suddenly I have an idea for my next post...;)

Excellent! Following you so I hopefully won't miss it.

Wow! I'll reference this video, since it led to the thought in the first place. :) Time to work. Yes!
