RE: Steem-Rep Rep No. 1 - Mindmap 🇩🇪 / 🇬🇧

@Chriddi, I read your post/report, and I must admit that I didn't fully grasp half of it (I'm being completely honest). However, what I did understand is that people like you are putting in a tremendous amount of effort to articulate these points so eloquently. It's inspiring, and I hope to see myself achieving similar clarity in the future.
And I'm truly honoured that you chose to resteem my post. You are really looking out for newbies like me. Now I understand how patient you are in simplifying things for members like me.

Sort:  

Btw... Hira (event-horizon) is now living very close to me. So whenever you want, I can personally go and badger her to write/interact on this platform :) rather she is the one who thought that I should join this community.

In fact, Hira is the reason I became aware of you, because she resteemed a post of yours. Since I trust her, this was a must for me to look a little closer.... ;-)
Give her my best regards! I have always appreciated the dialogue with her.

I will deliver your regards personally!
Yes, it's always good to talk to her. I have the pleasure of interacting with her in person. And she is a gem, no doubt.

I must admit that I didn't fully grasp half of it

That's no problem at all. You are "young" and I can tell you from six years of experience that it takes time to explore and understand the "subtleties" of Steem. Haha, I think even some of the other "Steem Representatives" don't know what I mean on all points. Or they don't want to know... ;-)

I hope to see myself achieving similar clarity in the future.

You will, I am convinced. However, the key word is "patience". Don't try to rush into anything. This can (sometimes) lead to quick success for the individual, but is usually not what moves the community forward and makes it attractive...

You are really looking out for newbies like me.

Yes. Those that I believe are ambitious and have more potential than begging for attention at any cost... ;-)

how patient you are

Hihi, I think you just got to know my role as "mentor in the background". And I'm just happy that you notice this... ;-)

Read your report again today, and now I understand 60-70 percent of it! I was so agitated for the last two days. Then I suddenly remembered this report and thought that maybe I would understand it better if I read it again. Thank you for writing this; I would hug you if I could! It cleared up many of my questions and queries. As I've said multiple times, I'm going to learn from my mistakes, and I'll say it again. But believe me, I wouldn't be able to fully grasp even half of the things if I hadn't come across your post and your thorough answers to my queries.

And I think I have unintentionally made someone mad at me 😬. That has never been my intention. But maybe it's me overthinking. Nevertheless, I thought it would be a good idea to get verified. Of course not in the "desired" way. I have asked Hira's help in this regard. I did not want to badger her for little things now and then and was trying to do it my own way. But, I guess that's not an option any more.
So long story short, I decided to give it a go...

Hi Maan,
how appropriate that you should get in touch here again. Thanks to you, I've been doing a lot of thinking, too. Also about you, of course (but only in a positive sense, I promise...), but primarily about being a "newcomer" in itself. How alone "you newcomers" actually are if you don't read all the guides in the Newcomers' Community. And even about these there are so many differences of opinion. Yes, real rifts between the "old hands" and the "new generation" who don't know the Steem without sc teams and challenges.
I've been digging through "ancient" articles of mine (and others) and thinking about how we "used to" manage to understand Steem and the whole system. I had several realizations (being an "old hand"):

  • "neutral" - We gave ourselves much, much more time. None of us expected a larger account to take any notice of us in the first 6-8 weeks. Before I "dared" (yes, right, that was very exciting) to write a post at all, I read a lot and informed myself independently. Today, the Steem is much more fast-paced: users come and expect. But they don't understand what they expect for what.
  • "positive" - My attitude towards the Steem and my behavior on the Steem has hardly changed in all these years, although I have become a respectable "fat fish" in the meantime. I have never acted according to the - today so common - motto "quick Steem profit", still don't. After all, I am a teacher and predestined to "teach" on a larger scale. A lot of fish actually listen to me (even if they would never admit it, LOL). It would also be more resource-efficient than "individual support".
  • negative labor intensive - I should really start communicating in a structured way all these points I've only "thought about" here in an understandable way. Yes, I really should write these reports, no matter how much I dislike doing it (I hardly have time for "proper" posts that I like to read myself). It's the only way I have a chance of making a difference.

Thank you for reading the report again and for your effort and curiosity. However, I believe that newcomers will not be able to fully grasp it under the given circumstances. Well, I will do my best to shed some more light on the subject. Unfortunately, this won't happen overnight, Steemit is just a hobby of mine. As soon as I (like some other SRs) talk of a "job" or "duty", it will be time for me to leave.

Good luck with the verification... ;-)

Hi Maan,

Are you a psychic too?❤️
I was thinking about telling you my real name, that's Amna... Maan is my name called by my husband only. And since then, I have been using this for many platforms. I love this name of mine! I'm so happy that you addressed me like this.

Thank you for reading the report again and for your effort and curiosity. However, I believe that newcomers will not be able to fully grasp it under the given circumstances.

I would say "under any circumstances"...
It will take time.
And for now, I will keep my comments reserved. I will speak only when I have a better understanding of certain things and this platform in general.
Until then, I will only do what I'm good at.
I will keep writing...

Thank you so much Christiane
And much regards and love
Maan

Not really. I look at profiles... 😉

I will keep writing...

Great plan!
I think I'll get around to it myself sometime soon... 😂

Hi, how are you?
We have not interacted since our last time here. How are you feeling now? You were not well, the last time we talked. I hope you are fine now.
Anyways, I wanted to tell you that I did get verified 😬
Through video identification! I thought better get it over with...

Just wanted to share with you :)

And I don't know if you read my post today. I didn't understand how the server uploaded the unedited version. Or maybe it was mistake at my end. I did read it twice though before uploading.

You had voted before that, and I was so embarrassed that you had to see the unedited one. You must be thinking that I posted in haste 🤕

Hi Maan,
thanks for asking. My health is fine again. I'm going through some personal turmoil that doesn't belong on the blockchain. But I'm managing it - life is never boring.

Grats for your verification. Well then... let's go... ;-)

I read your post - I read every post before I vote for it. Yes, that is indeed a big advantage for writers who care more about writing than the "profit" you can see when you see my vote: I read. I'm not an auto-voter (like some you follow).
I admit: I skimmed it and couldn't identify if it was edited or not.
Summary? Factual? You like "challenges" and contests, I don't like them. In fact, I only open your posts in this regard because I consider you a kind of "godchild". A godchild with potential. Otherwise, I refuse to open challenge posts, because for me they kill any individual creativity that comes from the heart.

But that's entirely up to me! Many, many Steemians love this kind of content. Your choice, your feeling of "feels good".

Dear Christiane,

I hope that turmoil of yours ends sooner rather than later.

because I consider you a kind of "godchild"

Maybe one day, in my real life too! Rather I think I have been becoming one. I am more grounded than I were a few years back. Some incidents in life make you this way! Im the end it's all about letting go amd follow the Gods plan. He is indeed the best planner. We only have to keep trying.

Erm... about the contests: I have a confession to make. I aim to maximize the use of the delegation power invested in me, without compromising my creativity. If you happen to read those posts, you will always find a touch of maan in each of them. (Of course I'm not a Pablo Picasso😎 in terms of innovation but I always try to write from heart). Only last night, I was telling my husband that I'm putting this much effort in each and every one of my posts because these are kind of diaries/archives for me. I'm going to cherish these in future.

I only participate in those contests where there is a margin of creativity for me. I don't know if you noticed or not, I never answer the questionnaire point by point or question by question.

I will never let go of my individuality; this is my promise to you, today and, always!!!

P.S: I also try to strategize with the genre of my posts. I cannot certainly come up with brilliant ideas to write every day. This would be unfair for my readers too (if there are any ), so I like to post my art ventures. I'm still at a beginner level in this area. But I have been always trying to do such things since my childhood. I love to create art :)

Here we meet at our hangout spot again.
First of all hello to Cerberus and his friends at your farm from another little fan... (Question from my daughter: Is Cerebrus the dark brown one; one with you at the title picture of your latest article?)

So, the other day, your remarks about frequent posting had me thinking. Well, I'm planning no more than 3 posts a week.

But again, as I said earlier, I will be juggling with the genre of my posts/blogs. For example I may share some very useful life personal hacks, tips. And other days, I maybe doing some arts work. I may also be penning down my philosophical thoughts on one of those days.

Why I'm telling you this...
Well, you had me for a minute yesterday. Somehow I couldn't see you in my followers and I had kind of panic attack... Lol

You have my highest regards and I would NEVER want to lose you as my follower.

So here is a little request: Please keep an open mind when you see my posts. And think of them as from different authors. (As you have suggested me that I have to like the post, not necessarily the author). Some days, it will be Maan, on others soulfuldreamer and then on one of those days, it will only be AMNA:)

I know, but it felt good when you addressed me like this, instead of the account name 😊
