Steemit Is Not Noah's Ark But Even For "Potential Success On Steemit" And In Life, You May Need To Be Present!!! "Present Yourselves Ever-Constantly".

in #steemit7 years ago

The Untalented Curriculum didn't die. I didn't die either!

I simply went into the box, to come out of it again, more fortified! 

I do want to end this year strong. I had big plans for the end of this year and even after my mum passed, these plans got bigger meaning and essence but i have been a bit slow and behind schedule. 

I will not tire out though and regardless, we will end this year strong and on a high.

We will still get to do one untalented contest, however small or gianormous before the years runs out. 

In the meantime, let's talk a bit more about success or breakthrough in general. I speak of "life" most times when touching on the topic of success/breakthrough but for many tangible reasons, one being that "life" is the secret recipe to success in every aspect of life; till date!

Now "life" is a curriculum that comprises of alot e.g the Creator Jehovah, humans, the streets, books, nature, steemit etc and every aspect of life comprises of just the same e.g steemit, relationships, business, day-to-day living, happiness, success etc

It does require a measure of depth to understand this thing called "life"; even then, it isn't fully graspable because there will ever be aspects of life, that will only be understandable by the Creator, for we are mere mortals.

Without this depth, you will understand the lines just as they are but you may miss out on context and the full extent of its application (in between the lines); you may be better be able to stick to rules than fully grasp principles e.g the Bible didn't say "don't smoke cigarettes" but it does say "not to defile the body". Now, there is conscience as well to tell you "what's the gain" and some comedy science to tell you that "the most dangerous butt on Earth is a cigarette stick" but apart from that; "a measure of depth and an understanding of "life" itself" as to know that there are bigger things than mediocre merriment and responding to "each impulse"

Now, must everyone be deep? 

Plain no, as we were all made differently and process things differently and i tell you, life is even a bit easier. Plus, i am mere dust, so why judge and condemn someone, when i love instead; plus, why shouldn't i forgive you a hundred times. 

Ofcourse, it does take a measure of depth and a special understanding of this called "life" to chose to forgive someone a hundred times.

What am i saying?

Many times, many of the solutions to challenges on Earth are not in outer-space (the nth solution) but are findable here on Earth, perhaps, even "just next to you" in the first obvious simplest solution.

It does take a measure of depth to see these things!

When it was said, "don't eat of the fruit in the middle of the Garden but you can eat of every other fruit", it was that simple yet it has cost (us dearly) all of humanity "life" today. 

Simply take charge and abate your impulse for a minute or perhaps, go pluck all the pluckables everywhere else and chew as you wish and as you do, be belly-filled and sleep off!

The solution was that simple and perhaps in the first simplest obvious solution but again, you may want to ask: "why was there need for a problem (requiring a solution) in the first place. Again, life is that complex, that only the Creator, can answer some things. 

Going further, after Jesus' fasted for 40 days, there was utmost "justification for gratification", if he had decided to turn stones to bread but he chose to take charge of his impulse and that was the solution. 

Sometimes, the answers are just right there!
If you have provenly done fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, then what's in another 30 mins!

Again, depth is sometimes where the answers lie.

e.g If i have seen "life", then why should i fret, get agitated and instantly react, when the next person steps on my toes. Hahaha, i may just walk away silently on this particular day or turn my other cheek!

Hahaha, there are bigger things to life! The higher you, the deeper it may get!

Let's go steemit and success in general

What if i tell you that: 

When it comes to steemit success, even success in general, sometimes all that was ever needed is presence

Ever constant presence!

The above easily can look like a very shallow sentence but looking closely, it just may have a far deeper-reaching meaning and it so does!

Yes, even in someone's (a potential helper, investor, partner etc) mind, you may have to stay ever-present

e.g earlier today, someone from USA asked of me, upon chatting with my sister. He spoke to her of whether i would be interested in overseeing a branch of his USA company that he is planning to setup in a developing country. Hahaha, i am not an overseer and i haven't talked to this person in so many ages but even after these many years, i may have stayed stuck/lingered in this mind and it can have been for something as simple as the name "Terry" or maybe more!

My sister didn't know if i will consider it, so she had consulted with me earlier today, but then she gave me his contact and told me to reach out to him in conversation and her reason? "So that i can keep on present in his mind".

She said: "contact him ASAP before he starts to think of someone else. Even if it is just to be in touch, please contact him, so that he keeps you in his mind".

Even on steemit!

Yes, many join steemit and can get disheartened by events, governance, inability to earn rewards etc but at least stay ever-present

Stay with me!

Most good things, only become really good when proven.

Deep! Even love can have a mediocrer, shallower meaning when it is not proven. Yes, love is self-sacrificing, long-suffering and patient.

Eve may have been said to have fully truly loved, if even in the midst of pressure (a really simple pressure in this case), she had stayed present in her act of loving, of her own free-will. Deep!

To stay present on steemit without apparent gain, does take a measure of depth (substance, self-sacrifice, selflessness, love, character etc) but again being "present" (the first simplest obvious solution) may be all that we have needed for success here, moreso, than building gigantic infrastructures to seek whale-help or jackpot. 

Perhaps, the jackpot is actually in our staying present here.

In general, there will always be times when we tire out a bit and can't create content but our presence is on steemit may just be as important than content creation.

It is important to me!

For one, there is "no loss" and with the steem blockchain, anything (great things, breakthroughs, opportunities, partnerships, jackpot etc) can happen, at any moment, on any day!!!

Infact, something nice is certainly happening right now as we speak somewhere on steemit e.g if you have some good amount steem power in your wallet, take a note of it right now e.g Check your current amount of SP, then refresh your browser after some seconds and tell me if your SP remains. You will have noticed an increase, because another incentive of powering up is that it keeps increasing.

 Too, steemit is a community of reputable great minds (potential helpers, partners, investors etc) and even in these minds, you may have to stay ever-present.

There is ton of people entering steemit daily and a ton, who have history on steemit e.g older whales, minnows, dolphins seeking these same help as well, that sometimes, the real competition (if there really is any) is in how much one stays present in the minds of potential helpers than the other.

Persistence pays off! 

Jehovah knows our needs yet he tells us to keep asking! Deep! (As even in "asking", we may need to be proven e.g consistent, persistent, deeply-rooted, of-substance, unshaken, free-willed, determined, exerted, pleaful, heartfelt, enthusiastic etc to be seen or established "too be really asking"

Just maybe!

Steemit is not Noah's Ark but even in Bible times, there were many cases, where all that was needed was being present. Infact, in Noah's preaching, he wasn't asking people to adjust their morals etc. He simply asked that they entered an ark, for their will be impending rain and they will need a boat. The first simplest obvious solution was the actual solution!

Yes, sometimes "being present" is all that was ever needed!

With the steem blockchain, there is even more reason to be present, than there is anywhere online. It is fresh, a newer type of technology, intriguing, has the best capabilities blockchain-wise, it is valuable in solving real world problems, it is free, it is the mainstreamest of blockchains, it is easy-to-use etc

Plus, there are many reputable great minds on steemit from all works of life, each incentivized to cook up knowledge (redundant and existent knowledge) and beautifully erupt it for free; and in reality:

the only difference between the successful and those aspiring to be successful is "knowledge".

Now if we see the news and read books and see videos and go to school and spend an average of 5 years of our lives on the INTERNET, then there is almost no loss in just being present on steemit. 

On steemit, breakthrough-INTEL can pop up/out anytime, any moment and in some cases, for split seconds!

e.g 

  • Once, sometime ago, here on steemit, there were posts indicating that the price of ETH crashed momentarily from $319 to 10 cents in seconds on the GDAX exchange and some of those who may have taken advantage, may have gotten quick hints, while present on steemit
  • And many who got extra tokens for the resulting split bitcoin-based blockchain, may have been here present on steemit, to have found out! 
  • Once in the past too, when steem dollar was around 1 dollar, it had spiked momentarily to around 20 USD each and several who may have had timely knowledge of that, may have had to be present on steemit.
The ever-missing piece of your puzzle may be in this post or in the very next set of posts, lined up on your now-feed!
The whale-hood that you seek, can happen on steemit in a jiffy but would you have been present here on steemit, thus, likelier to be present in the minds of loving steemians?

So just when you tire out and decide to take a break from steemit, how can you stay present on steemit?

There is a ton of ways to stay present on steemit, even in the backgrounds. Not everyone is bound to post on steemit. Ofcourse, there are ton of developers who don't post on steemit but how about non-developers?

@libert would tell me, "i have analysed myself and i have noticed that i am not good with posts but i have a feeling that my calling point on steemit is curation and i told him to build that game. 

Yes, curation can very much be talent; can fetch you rewards and can keep you present on steemit and fresh and ever-green in the minds of steemians. 

Steemians know, when they have been touched by a loving upvote. 

Whales can spot you eventually as a fan and become your fan, starting to support you constantly or can spot you as a valuable curator and can contact you to give you opportunities e.g (delegate curation tasks to you or ask your views or advice on the state of the steemit community etc) or may decide to follow your vote etc

@aggroed contact minnows for their views and so does @acidyo, @donkeypong, @hanshotfirst @stellabelle etc

Reading and commenting

This a very fun activity in reality and easily keeps you "present" on steemit and in the minds of steemians (potential helper, friend, brother etc)

The days will still fly but never emptily by as you will have been present in a hub where INTEL can pop out any moment! 
Plus, you will keep on evergreen/present in the minds of reputable loving steemians. (Keeping your potential for potential help almost evergreen)

Note: Even in someone's mind you may have to stay present. We aren't the only ones in the world!

There is also the chat rooms.

E.g @drakos @timcliff etc are in the chat rooms constantly helping others, at times, when they aren't posting. @timcliff for instance, constantly submits pull requests on github for improvements to the steemit interface. See below:

@drakos likes to assist the witnesses and newbies.

#steemgigs

Everyone has something to offer!

While we are behind schedule a bit with the steemgigs interface on https://steemgigs.org; even while you decide to rest a bit, at times when you can't create content, you can manage to stay present in the steem ecosystem by having your #steemgigs ready-made and out on steemit. See this post by @thatsweeneyguy:

e.g your existing #steemgigs can keep your presence alive on steemit, allowing you to offer a service (proof-reading, logo creation, video edits, SEO services, software programming etc) in exchange for steem/SBD

Infact, "everyone has something to offer"; so their is no reason why you should have had some #steemgigs up!

Projects

You can create open-source projects and keep them alive even while you are away, using the service @utopian-io offers! This will open you up to likely venture-capitalists, whales, developers etc, who may want to partner or support your project.

Hahaha, being present is "presenting yourself" constantly.

ETC.

Let me pause here! I am your boy Terry, i am present and you get my gist!

Sort:  

One word that best describes you is: Inspiration. Not everybody has that inner instinct. I haven't met you but you build connection real quick for someone who has had a hard time lately.

The goodness of your mom's heart stays.

Explains an angel in you. Haven't met your mom but she raised a blessing to us thru you.

Stay with me!

I will even if you didn't ask me to hahahah!

Be present in Steemit constantly.

There are times I miss posting because of a lot of things on my plate but writing is my passion. I consider it mine. A thing nobody can take it out from me. I get satisfied when I compose. This is what I usualy tell my friends which eventually became my co-Steemians. Some people are not born with the passion of writing so it's hard to push someone who's not willing. The only thing I can do is to keep on encouraging them because I care.

There are a lot of people who has brilliant thoughts like yours. You're one of those I consider as a present I received this Christmas ☺ More power to you!

You just became my present. Stay awesome switie. Shine like crazy

You're def just the sweetest. And yes! I will 😊

Lovely! This is just so lovely!
My favorite parts,

  1. Jehovah knows our needs, yet he told us to keep asking.
    Exactly! Jehovah even wants to see if we are interested. It also depends on us. It is also up to us if we depend on him. If we are really present to ask for him.
  2. Noah preached the people to enter the ark.
    I actually never realized that he told him to just enter the ark, and he never told them to change their ways. You're too deep brother. Being present is being important. That's what I am always doing. I try to be present everyday. And even during the busy days and the hardest times, I am here even to post just one blog post. I make sure to be present here. Also, I need to power up with Steem Power to further support my team and my new refers.
    I will tell my new refers about this post to get encouraged.
    Just in case, here are they.

Hahaha thank you for spotting the spottables and for your persistent love. I will visit them. I haven't been so productive in the chats lately but i am preparing to resume. I will visit with you soon there

Thank you so much brother! They are very happy. In fact, we went out after the field service to eat out and discussed about Steemit. Of course, encouragement spiritually as well. I also have a new referral who is good at arts. I am convincing him with his craft. Here he is
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@jetskie/letting-people-know-me

You are just awesome @surpassinggoogle. Thanks for all your inspiration. What would i have done on steemit without your advice and motivation. You bring the best in me. I have learnt a few things from you and i have also done some study in God's word and they correspond.
God has given all of us gifts. Sometimes we call them talents. Nothing is small if God accepts it
When you serve the Lord with the ability He has given you, you bring glory to His name and blessing to his people.

Frankly speaking, this alone should be enough to prompt us to use our gifts.

The Holy Spirit moves us to walk in the will of God. Several of you may have witnessed an urge to start using the gifts and abilities God has given you more. Be it writing, encouraging, singing, witnessing, whatever it is. God gifts us all.

Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly. Romans 12:6
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God?s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
Notice the bible talks about 'us exercising the gifts' or 'using them to serve others'.
Some things matter more than others. If you resist the urge that God is placing upon your heart to make full use of the gifts and calling He has given you; others will pay the price of not receiving that which you were given to bless them. Read 1 Peter 4:10 again.

Your refusal to use your God given gift will be questioned by God on the judgement day.

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. Romans 14:12
We all have our excuses for not doing the right thing at the right time. The lazier a man is, the more he plans to do tomorrow
The problem is, tomorrows never run out - until it is too late.

What are you doing with the gifts God has given you? Remember:
God will judge us not only for what we did, but also for what we could have done and didn?t

Some things matter more than others. Using your God given gifts matter. Thank you for backing your sayings and motivations with the scripture @surpassinggoogle. God bless you.

This words are deep and profound. As for me I want to be among those that will not waste his gift and use it to serve of humanity.

I really like your mindset, you are going to go places.
We shouldn't think that we’re useless in God’s eyes—because we're not! Even if you aren’t aware of it, God has given you at least one spiritual gift or ability—just as He has every other believer.

And God wants us to discover your gift and use it for His glory. No, yours may not rbe as public as someone else’s gift; not everyone (for example) is called to become a president or teacher. But that doesn’t mean your gift is any less important in God’s eyes—because it isn’t. Some people, for example, have a God-given gift for encouraging others, or being kind or merciful, or giving wise advice to those who need it. The Bible says we “do not all have the same function. … We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us” (Romans 12:4,6).

He gave us the privilege of being made in his image and likeness. This is a weighty sentence

You must look your facebook @surpassinggoogle

Can i keep this in a special place?@princesson

The problem is, tomorrows never run out - until it is too late.

Awww. You can dear. Thanks

Keep for two

Hanhan! Issi your keeping? @surpassinggoogle 😂😂😂😂

patient

really, i understand 😁 patient patient

Even in the illustation of the talents by Jesus, the one who buried his talent lost favor. We can't pinpoint it as exactly wrong or condemn it and it is the easier route but i still prefer the harder route with all its hassle as to me, it is more testimonial

I still opined that sweat sweetens the success. But then, do you think that there is a middle ground here?

I have seen people who got victory on plata of GOLD!

Profound words right here.
James 4:17 outrightly aligns with your concluding lines where it says if you know to do good and probably refuse to do it, it's a sin. One of the vital lessons I have learnt on steemit so far is living for humanity which has been inspired by @surpassinggoogle severally. If only we all can swallow such mindset, using our gifts as listed above and finances in the way that improves the living of our neighbor. The man next to you who is less than you in status is probably there around you for you to be a lifter. We are stewards of all that we possess and a constant reminder just help reshape our habits and how we treat people around us. Thanks for this profound thoughts.

Really very huge point you are making here. Thank you dear. I believe we should Ask God to show us what gift He’s given us and lets discover it more. Then commit it (and your whole life) to it and seek to use it to help others. The Bible says, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

tnx for upvote

@princesson nicely described, wonderful comment written and got a healthy reward from @surpassinggoole. That's our great plateform Steemit where everyone rewarded. good luck.

Hello @princesson

merry Xmas. Honestly, even as powerful as @surpassinggoogle's words of encouragement and spiritual uplift mentioned are, I found these few lines of yours equally empowering.

@surpassinggoogle is an incarnate of a genius, a pillar of many subcommunities whose contributions to the growth of steem blockchain is an encyclopedia on its own. I had dug deep into his blog to dig up some of earliest writings he authored when he was a nobody on steemit and found those ones as educative and inspiring as his present day writings.

Among the things I learnt from him was seeing myself as someone who has a stake in Steemit and therefore engaging in actions that would have positive touch to steemit growth.

With these words of yours that so as powerful as his, I will not be surprise if you become another 'surpassinggoogle' in the near future.

Thanking you for this biblically based teaching and motivation. They are so succinct and inspiring.

Upv by
@eurogee, the Steemivangelist

My dear @surpassinggoogle.....

You have come again with another yet intriguing post.. Now analyze these lines oozing with the cream of awesomeness and wisdom

Without this depth, you will understand the lines just as they are but you may miss out on context and the full extent of its application (in between the lines); you may be better be able to stick to rules than fully grasp principles e.g the Bible didn't say "don't smoke cigarettes" but it does say "not to defile the body". Now, there is conscience as well to tell you "what's the gain" and some comedy science to tell you that "the most dangerous butt on Earth is a cigarette stick" but apart from that; "a measure of depth and an understanding of "life" itself" as to know that there are bigger things than mediocre merriment and responding to "each impulse".

Now those words are deep! I am glad you went down further to recognise that not everybody is a genius to assimilate such words at a seemingky faster rate than another would. I think i fall in the former category. One who isnt quick to grasp the literal/figurative essence in deep lines such as one above but luckily, i still have an idea on the message you are trying to pass accross.

With the steem blockchain, there is even more reason to be present, than there is anywhere online. It is fresh, a newer type of technology, intriguing, has the best capabilities blockchain-wise, it is valuable in solving real world problems, it is free, it is the mainstreamest of blockchains, it is easy-to-use etc

I use to tell people i meet since i joined steemit

Better to be on steemit than any other social media. Asides the monetary compensations, there are lots more to gain on the platform! Well, some of my friends joined for the cash aspect but when they were not gaining much, some just went back to their normal lifestyles: facebook and all. I am glad i remained a presence still in the steemit community. I believe i could someday touch the lives of others through being present. In my own little way, i am trying and vying for that dream. In my own little way, touching lives. I have become, in my little way, a steemitestimony. Now i ask myself, if i had given hope up, what could have happened to those destined to find their paths through the little candle i should Lit? Or better still, what would be the fate of those who woukd still be assigned under my umbrella when i eventually get to that position i'm aspiring? For this only reason, i am sticking put.

Our lifes on steemit shouldnt be only about us. The day we learn we ought to take care of some other responsibilities, that day we have moved up a step on the steemit ladder.

If there is anything i am grateful about, it is that Steemit has been affixed to my lifestyle. My friends wont do without asking about steemit when asking of my welfare. They do know i love it! I love my presence in it! I love that i could be an agent of change and effect change. Steemit is not in any way a Noah's ark but where explorations are only limted by your unexplored potentials....

By the way,

Its been quite a while i dropped a comment on your posts. Hope you would forgive me and love me still. I am available now and promise to drop by more often.... I have missed you much ..... Jehovah continue to keep us..... Cheers hun💝💝

Loading...

Life on steemit is the best. That is why we are saying steemit for PRESIDENT. My wife said I love the fact that you are doing what you love doing on this platform and I ended up telling him about @surpassinggoogle. Though she is not on this platform but she is a fan.

Thank you for that. Really touching. My regards to her and thank her for me for taking care of your beard

She is the reason why I have this beard on me.Things you do for the sake of love.(Lol).She loves it and does do take good care of it. I will deliver your greetings to her (ma ji se fu). One love bro.

Yes o...
It's better to be on steemit than any other social media. It's intellectually lucrative, very edutaining and more resourceful.

A nice platform to meet awesome people from around the globe.

Meanwhile, @aderonkemi
In relation to your confessional statement as regards being absent for a while, the #untalented Bureau of Investigation do hereby issue a subpoena against you, and you're expected to appear with a cogent alibi.

Thank you.

So sweet that law part. I told one law woman from naija to join us here but she hasn't posted. We need de law here to play with us

@idunique, i'd implore the UBI to tamper justice with mercies. Lol...

Switie was your real intention here to make re-fall for you? Gosh, i so fell. I fell for you and when i am standing, i am loving you still

Switie was your real intention here to make re-fall for you? Gosh, i so fell. I fell for you and when i am standing, i am loving you still

When it comes to steemit success, even success in general, sometimes all that was ever needed is presence.

Nothing but presence is what is needed for success in here. life here is better only with presence. More of the reasons your presence is of paramount to us.

@Surpassinggoogle, your absence makes my heart grows fonder. And it's like steemit is boring to me in spite of countless activities that take place.

My wish for you is always more strengths.

Thank you much. Jehovah's willing i will keep on here

I will never give up. I must fufill the purpose my late Dad wanted of me, a noble purpose. I have to ask for success and it has to come. Thank you for this inspiration.
Every human being conceived carries with him or her that innate ability that is uniquely his or hers. It is like our finger print. Lots of people may carry the same ability, but the way we use ours will make us unique.
These talents, gifts or strengths are our diamonds. We need to dig them. Nobody can dig them for us.
Once we find them, we should remove the dust. Keep polishing them. The more we take care of them, the more we can recognize the other diamonds in our lives.
Soon, our gifts and talents, just like diamonds, will shine brightly and will serve us well in the long run.
Because we took the time to search for them, the return of investment is more than what we have imagined.
Because our Creator saw that we are using them, He will bless us with more opportunities to apply them.
Make a promise to yourself. You’ll search for your diamonds. And you’ll make sure they will shine brightly. Thank you for giving me that extra push. I will surely do great things both here on steemit and my immediate environment.

You will reach those places! You are awesome.

I do want to end this year strong. I had big plans for the end of this year and even after my mum passed, these plans got bigger meaning and essence but i have been a bit slow and behind schedule.

I know Terry, it's a hard time for you... It's been awhile I came around because my device was not good, so when I came on and heard the news, I had wondered if am still gonna here from u this year, but here you are, still fired up. Had to make my entry for the #untalented-mama, Be strong Terry.

Trust me, the #untalented family shared this moments with u, u ain't alone.

If you want to support an extra witness and you support mine "steemgigs", it will be really helpful, especially in terms of giving me the direly needed extra drive & strength.

...Of course, done and dusted.
My prayers are with you too, You need it.

This a very fun activity in reality and easily keeps you "present" on steemit and in the minds of steemians (potential helper, friend, brother etc)
Very true, it's a way of showing that u are here to create a lasting relationship, get interactive and know about others.

Nice hearing from you @surpassinggoogle

Thank you very much bro, for so much!

@surpassingoogle you are so strong and consistent and despite your you didn't give up instead you made your plans bigger and even derived strength from a situation that was supposed to be a set back wow... I have said it before and am still goin to say it you are an inspiration. Keep up you would surely reap good

Thank you much for encouraging me. I will keep on!

yeah @surpassinggoogle you are an inspiration to many

Perhaps, the jackpot is actually in our staying present here.

And I am here, presenting my self and my deepest gratitude to the ever supportive human on steemit and that's you sir Terry, our @surpassinggoogle. Whenever I read your posts, I am always learning. There were times that I was discouraged of my little earnings here in steemit, and I decided to just leave, but then when you supported me with your upvotes I got recharged, thank you. But of course the knowledge I got whenever I am present here is already a great blessing to me...So I decided to stay and be present for the rest of my earthly life here in steemit.

Hahaha, things will certainly get better. 2018 will be better

Now if we see the news and read books and see videos and go to school and spend an average of 5 years of our lives on the INTERNET, then there is almost no loss in just being present on steemit.

I think steemit is the best place to learn. Here is my point, all I ever did in school was try to pass exams and impress my lecturers who never really cared if I passed or not, I would even spend my hard earned dime to achieve this goal. Here on steemit I have learnt for free and made some good money too. What I have learned on steemit is not limited as there are great minds from different fields of life coming through on a daily basis. So I totally agree with you here sir.

To stay present on steemit without apparent gain, does take a measure of depth (substance, self-sacrifice, selflessness, love, character etc) but again being "present" (the first simplest obvious solution) may be all that we have needed for success here, moreso, than building gigantic infrastructures to seek whale-help or jackpot.

Another high level of truth here. Giving up means getting nothing while pressing on does not exactly mean getting it all but there is huge possibility that we might end up getting it anyways.

You have always been my best man without a wedding when it comes to living life. Stay strong for the community sir!
