Hi, I already noted your goal of helping the newbies here on steemit and it impressed me so I followed you, it's really heartwarming.

The importance of comments can't be stressed enough - I'll take myself as an example - I am a med student so right now in the middle of the semester I can't invest too much time in writing the long posts I would like to. But - having learned the importance of the message conveyed in ilyastarar's post - I decided I will enjoy some posts and will comment on a few posts a day with a deep and meaningful comment. I do not always get upvotes but frequently - post authors appreciate my opinion and the fact that I try to contribute to the discussion they want to rise, and they reward me for it. it's motivating like hell and it makes me proud to see I can contribute and actually get back some of it. this way I will be able to gather reputation and funds I will convert to steem power in order to be able to help others with my votes and help myself too by accumolating friends and readers - so when I will have some free time from university - I'll be able to dedicate the time to publish posts myself and have to audience to spreed my message to.

thank you ilyastarar - people like you are rare, most people will just enjoy and profit from their hard earned power.
