Value in, VALUE OUT. Nobody owes you anything on steemit. Learn,impact and get rewarded
Here is one truth that will set you free but first it's going to piss you off. Most of us have been here for less than a year now and we want to have $1000 plus rewards on our post. We don’t bring in anything valuable and yet, we want to reap rewards big time.
Isn't that funny ? We only want to take money out of the system but do not want to invest in it. We write posts on how we want to help and yet do nothing about that. We have got to learn the ways of this system. It's quite simple to me. VALUE IN, VALUE OUT. And to those who have been begging for upvotes, it's pathetic, stop that before you get flagged. Most whales on this platform are people who have invested their hard earned fiat currencies into their Steempower and they will only consider upvoting your post if they feel like it. Nobody owes anyone anything on this platform but if you are willing to put in the work, you will get far here.

There are a few people who are willing to risk it all for steemit and those are the folks making it big here. A perfect example is @jerrybanifield, a guy who has dedicated so much time into teaching people how to succeed on this platform and aside from that, he has been investing everything he gets back into his Steempower (the system).
And there you are,someone who will without thinking twice withdraw the least amount of SBD you make here.
I understand that you might be having a hard time financially but guess what, even the whales sometimes face such situations. Get in touch with them to learn their ways of managing their finances and stop begging them for support. Let them know you are worth their vote.
You spoke my mind dear.
It is simple, what you give you receive. If you can't bring value into the system then you don't deserve it.
Some persons have even gone to the extent of dropping their links on people's comment box.
Some drop comments like follow for follow, please upvote me bla bla bla.
This system encourages value, anyone that can't bring it here is undeserving of any value from the system.
I really love steemit and I believe for this system to continuously work over time, all of us including the plankton and must think of long term gains. This system can end up as a passive income means to some of us 20 years from now but for this strategy to work, we have to put in the work. I'm glad you agree with my content @gee1
You are right, withdrawing every single SBD each time u get it destroys the system. Just imagine if people remove all their money from a bank what do you think would happen to the bank. It will fold up, let take Steemit as a bank, we save today to withdraw few tomorrow and also try to drop meaningful and important contents not some silly things and expect an upvote. Thanks for sharing your thoughts @kwakumax
Exactly. Just as it has been said by Les Brown
I'm glad you agree with me on this issue.
It really pathetic to see people begging for vote , it means they don’t know their left from right, I personally do not think it is a good practice on this noble platform. If your post deserves a vote you needn’t have to tell anyone.
Exactly @osirr, our post should be doing all the talking for us.
Tell us @kwakumax. Sometimes it seems most of us didn't read the welcome page which says
The best attitude to have is to expect to make nothing. Have fun. Get engaged. Make friends. If along the way you earn something - bonus!
I'm glad you've read the welcome page. I think you should read it,over and over as time goes on. You'll find out the true reward gained on this platform is not money but the relationships. Let's have fun telling our stories and if people like it, they will show it through their upvotes.
That's true.
I guess this is going to be a food for thought for me just starting here. Thanks a lot @kwakumax.
It needs to be done bro. Welcome to the family.
haha life is a give and take journey you know, you dont expect to be receiving always and keeping what you have. If for nothing i am witnessing what you guys are doing in teamghana,,,
you dont just come in and start reaping money. That mindset is totally wrong and i think we have to put a stop to that.
thanks for sharing and i wish all @newbies see this
Mindset is everything. It's all in our heads. People have got to start following the lives of people who have already made it. We have to start reading books to enrich our intellect so that history cannot repeat itself.
You have hit the nail right on the head. I salute you for your words of truth.
@kwakumax.
I'm glad you agree @emmanuelacheamp
