Opening

In my post this time, I will discuss about "how steemit communication changing my life". This is part of the challenge guided by @dobartim, in the #Steemitultimatechallenge tag. Thanks to @dobartim for making us this great challenge, and thank you very much for sharing it to all. Hopefully my writing can be a motivation for all steemit users.

How Does Steemit Can Change My Life?

At first I knew about social media steemit in 2017, precisely in June. I tried to register a steemit account at that time with the account name @taufikrastafara. However, at that time I did not know how to use steemit properly and correctly. I use steemit in my own way which by then can still be said to be stupid. I also do not know where to ask and who to learn. So that steemit account lost it password, and I cannot open it again.

However, after that I got to know some friends who are already proficient using steemit, and thanks to the encouragement and motivation of the friends, I signed up again steemit account at the end of December 2017. Not long ago, just about a few minutes my account was accepted. With the name @rastaufik10, here's the account I'm using until now.

Today, it's been about 2 months since I used steemit, a lot of changes in my life. Now, I will explore some changes in my life, since I have really focused on social media steemit.

About 22 years ago, precisely on November 15, 1996, I was born into this earth in a simple family. My parents are only small farmers, and I am the third of four children. Even though I was born from a family with a poor background, I was not desperate or disappointed.

Since I was in elementary school, I have started looking for money to help increase family income. Starting from selling peanuts and ice cream to school friends. Until the time I was in high school, I still like to make extra pocket money by helping my friends to sell clothes.

So I've grown up as it is today, many things I try to be able to make money for the cost of life. There are many ways to do, such as trying to use Youtube to make money. But, when I can almost withdraw money, suddenly my account is blocked by the Youtube. I've tried it several times, but it continues to fail at the end. But it has not been able to make me discouraged, I keep looking for other ways to rise.

I've also tried to be a Blogger, but my blog did not last long. Because of some things that made me unable to survive. Honestly, I'm really stupid if it's talking internet technology. For me, making money on the internet, really needs a lot of struggle and good knowledge. Not being able to use anything like me, which at the time did not know anything, could have produced poor results.

Now, since steemit exists, Blockchain-based social media has changed the lot of people in this world, especially I personally feel the change with this steemit. However, to get good results in steemit, it is not as easy as we see as well. Many struggles must be passed, also many stages and steps to success in steemit media. To get success, here is not just to write a word and post the picture only. Many things we must do, like any other job, should we put hard work and passion to struggle, also needed consistent in the work.

I already feel, my life is much better than before before I focus, and using steemit in a good and right way. Some things have made me proud of this steemit.

First of all, I am proud of steemit because, I can fix my bedroom with the money from steemit. Formerly my room is not comfortable to occupy, because a lot of dust and mosquitoes enter. Small cobwebs are also numerous on the roof ceiling of my room. But that used to be; now it's very different. The room that I have now rehab is very comfortable for me to use when the break time arrived.

Not only I am proud of the success of me to improve my bedroom, my parents who are now starting to turn white hair, also very happy and happy with the changes that occur because of this steemit. All of you, readers, look at the pictures below, pictures that can prove that I have finish to fix my bedroom.

Not only can pimp my bedroom, but there are some more things I can say with pride here. This is all because @dobartim that has made me motivated to write a post that can make you all also motivated, to focus and work hard in this steemit. All things that begin with the struggle, will definitely produce good results.

Approximately 22 years ago I live in this world. My childhood friends have been and can be said often out of town by using air transport, the plane. But, I was the first time to ride a plane in my life. This is also because steemit exists, if steemit does not come into my life, maybe until now I have not felt how the atmosphere in the airplane.

I was the first time on an airplane, it happened about 2 weeks ago. At that time, I went to Cimahi City, West Java, from Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. Distance from my area to the city of Cimahi is about 2650 KM. Must cross an island, from the island of Sumatra to the island of Java, this if taken by land route. My departure to this city of Cimahi, to attend the invitation Meet Up Indonesian Steemit Community Chapter Bandung, which was held on February 16, 2018 ago. Only with some capital SBD and STEEM, I can go to the event, by air transportation. Finally, I can catch a plane, and can feel the atmosphere on the clouds are very beautiful. Happiness mixed with emotion, because steemit, I can feel that I never felt before.

About that, you can read my post a few days ago. But, the writing is in my local language, the Indonesian language. If you do not mind, please click on the following link, to prove that I am really the first time to board a plane because of steemit.

There's one more thing I have to tell you all about the changes I'm feeling. Already in recent years, I try to sell clothes for men. However, due to capital constraints, there are some obstacles in the business. So I managed to get to know some steemians friends who helped promote my merchandise, eventually my goods sold and now I can add more capital to keep selling the clothes. Now also there are some steemians who bought clothes to me, really happy that I feel.

I also have long idolized an artist in my country, the top celebrity in Indonesia. She is a national dangdut singer, who is very famous today. On her Instagram social media, has 4.1 M Followers. So many of her fans, her name is Dewi Persik. I also like this artist.
Because steemit also I can meet directly with this beloved artist, in the Capital. As I said in the previous few paragraphs, I went to Cimahi City, West Java, to attend the Community Steemit Meetings in Bandung, West Java. Finish the meet up event, I went straight to the City of Jakarta, to meet artist Dewi Persik that I idolize so much. It's also because of steemit, everything happens so fast. If steemit does not exist, then Meet Up Steemit in Bandung also does not exist. With none of that, then I did not meet my idol.

Closing

So, for all of us, let's go through step by step, step by step, to succeed in this steemit. There is really no easy thing that can make the best results. So with this steemit, let's both work without plagiarizing the work of others. Keep creative in making good posts.

I'm sure everyone in steemit will succeed in changing his life, as long as he wants to work hard and focus on using steemit well and correctly.

Thats all from me, I hope you all motivated with this explanation. Thanks also to @dobartim who has created such a great challenge, so I am motivated to keep you motivated.
