@swissclive and @steemmatt thanks to both of you for an amazing blog and an equally heartening response.

I was feeling pessimistic about this whole thing since today morning as I read a number of blogs about the infighting within the community about self-voting and auto-voting abuse and reading it all made me feel that there's no way a newbie can make any good here on Steemit.

Your words of advice finally gives me some inspiration and motivation to carry on.
