The Art Of Reciprocity

Click To Enter The Realm Of Cold

Thoughtful Day

I really want everyone who spends time commenting and upvoting to know that I care. This is far more about all of you than me. If you need encouragement. I want to be there. If you need advice on life. I want to be there. If you just want to talk. I want to be there. Sure it's cool to have what I say upvoted but the real value comes from the connections we are making. That's priceless. As a matter of fact, I spend more time responding to your comments than I do creating posts. I don't mind at all because that is where the real work is being done and progress being made. My next idea is to write about why I upvote my followers so much and how I have boosted their reputation. Some of you have probably noticed your reputation being bumped up here on Steemit after I give many upvotes on your comments. Good. Just the way I like it. My fellow Steemians this is called the Art Of Reciprocity and I am committed to making this a Steemitwide and worldwide phenomenon. 

I really need to learn to go to sleep sooner but I still haven't figured that out yet.

And if you need a bit more encouragement, check out my last cold shower video. Shalom.

@humanearl,
You are not only increasing our reputation level! Bro you are helping us to earn and it help us to build our life goals as well! No one is willing to do like you do bro! Therefore I really appreciate the way you are doing and thinking! Respect you bro!

Cheers~

The respect is mutual @theguruasia. I live for this

@humanearl I recently discovered your blog and I'm grateful for this! You are a truly inspirational person! Thank you! Followed

Cool! Glad you made it here.

Hmmmn... I'm still getting to know you properly but I guess there's something about you that I like. @humanearl You have a good heart.

Nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by.

Cold shower is very good. Have you heard about wim hof?

Yes I love watching him get out there and conquer the cold. He can actually produce adrenalin on the spot unlike the majority of people who have to rely on fight or flight situations to produce it.

I completely agree with you, because Stemmit is first of all this community, and a person without a society is alone and we need communication. As important as supporting each other. I really appreciate your support and thank you, because Stemmiti is currently the only source my income. I still have very little voice power (only 2 cents), but modern, I will also support people on our platform. Thanks for the excellent post @humanearl

Communication is so underrated in today's world

Thank you so much for the listening ears you have given to me @humanearl, you have attended to all my comments with somuch attention to details, responding to me adequately, thank you.
I have a challenge, and that is that I love what I do, and that is building electronic devices, but when it comes to the academic aspect, I find my grades being low. I've tried so much, but yet my grades are still low. But when it comes to practical, am very good at it. Please what do I do. Do I have to drop out of school, or do I. Just continue. This has been bothering me alot.

Great inventors and builders of things don't have to do well in school in order to be a good at what they do.

If building things is something your good at doing and actually like it the you should keep building.

Also you don't have to drop out of school unless you want to go to a school that helps you develop your skills further. Another thing is to look for opportunites or projects to be a part of that allows you to use your building skills.

Hope this helps.

Yah it helps so much. On the issue of looking for opportunities that allow me to use my building skills, I joined a group of people who have the same passion as I do, and they motivate me alot.
For now, there is no special school that helps develop my skills, so I just have to continue with my present school. It's really not easy, but I believe God's grace will surely see me through.

Thanks so much for your advice, it has really helped me alot.

Well said @humanearl. I totally agree with what you have said. Just to add to what you have said, an advice to @blessing2002 is that from experience, the likelihood that you're the first student on your campus to be struggling academically is, well, nonexistent. That means, of course, that there are places you can go for help.

First and foremost, reach out to your professors. While going to office hours and talking to a professor might be scary, remember that they, too, were college students once. Talk to them about your struggles. Ask them what guidance they can give you, whether it be the name a tutor or the offer to look over your work before you start working on your next paper.

Additionally, talk to your academic adviser. If you're too nervous talking to your professors, you adviser can be a great resource. He or she might know other students with whom you can form a study group; they might have some tips on how to do better in a certain professor's class; they might help you come up with an action plan of how to better manage your course load.

Your campus likely also has some kind of academic support or tutoring center. Use it! It's part of what you pay for in your "tuition and fees." Even if you aren't sure what kind of help you need, stop in to see what it has to offer. From peer advisers to faculty tutors to help with time management, an academic support center is a definite must-see.

I hope these tips help.

You pointed to the heart, my friend, the art of reciprocity, that's what defines human relationships at all times and what you do for us and our ecosystem is absolutely priceless. Many people coming to the Steemit without having the means and opportunities often just come to a standstill, as their creativity is not seen properly at the beginning of the journey and your support gives them hope and strength to continue to move on and achieve success! Thank you @humanearl and God bless you!

I know many people don't have the means to invest in this platform so I want to be able to give people a little bit of a start to help them.

I really liked all your encouragement and upvotes @humanearl.
Those replies have been really helpful.
We can never be too encouraged. We live in a world that rarely looks you in the eye, a world that seems to prefer isolation over connection. It is more important that ever before that we lift each other up. I am a benefactor of all your words, posts, engagement.
Your life story has always been in God's hands and that you have overcome it proves an encouragement for others to overcome too.

Your post and your Manifesto are encouraging and inspiring!
I am blessed and honored to know you.
Blessings and Light!

@neduejianya It is a huge blessing to know you as well. I want to be able to give people an outlet just to talk and connect. What you said is so true. Communication is so undervalued these days. Good thing we are trying to change that!

but the real value comes from the connections we are making.

The upvotes we get here are very very helpful @humanearl, they have encouraged me a lot, knowing that my comments were valued. But the truth is that these upvotes, as good as they are, are temporal. The main thing is the impact I get from your post. By impact, I mean the way your posts have changed my mindset. It has made me see life from the perspective of eternity, and not just in temporal things. This is my greatest treasure I have gotten from you, and am thankful.

When I started to see things from an eternal perspective life just opened up for me. This is only God . I know it. I'm glad to be able to help you out and make an impact.

It is getting really hard right now for people to have an eternal perspective and it will only get much harder for them to do so.

2 Timothy 3:13

''evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived''

What you have said @humanearl is in line with what the scripture says, making us know that the world will become more and more corrupt. Thats why we have to keep feeding our minds with God's word. Through His Word, we get our minds renewed day by day, so that we can think the way God thinks and not according to the ways of this world

I believe strongly that the more I keep reading your posts, the more I'll become renewed in my mind. Thanks

Really awesome. Thumbs up my friend. Great leaders don’t wait until annual evaluations or Christmas cards to say the things they need to express for great work. They express it daily through the important goals, public posts and they find unique ways to indicate it to their followers and thats what you do daily. The upvotes shows your interests and how important every comment is to you. Words have the power to motivate.
When there are little confusions, you really want to know the angle the person is coming from, and put yourself in their shoes. This is the ultimate sacrifice. Putting others before yourself.
The greatest men in the History of man has been men that put others happiness before theirs, and i must say that your are among the greatest. Keep on soaring high. I am seriously inspired more day by day. Thanks @humanearl.

Serving others is the greatest form of leadership there is. I have more work to do. Thanks
