WHY DO YOU LOVE AIR-CLINIC?

When I started steemit as a newbie I actually started with @airclinic, I developed myself and gained more insight about health, articles writings, learning of new words and meeting new people on steemit.

@Air-clinic has been a foundation of growth for so many steemians who started as i did, I love the fact that it's based on science and medical genre where you can find different segments that deals on medical and health issues with different medical experts and consultants all over the world coming together to save lives and make impact through blockchain.

My stay on @Air-clinic actually opened my knowledge to how I could also contribute to my community, for me, Air clinic is not so different from a physical hospital we visit when we need medical attention.

HIGH AND LOW POINTS ON STEEMIT

My high and low points on steemit has been a journey so far, first, I will talk about the low points on steemit where it has been a bumpy journey. I started steemit reluctantly, I joined and lost interest in a day or two because I felt it was a waste of time, but after so much encouragement from friends, I went back to it with the mindset of making money and lots of money.

But funny enough I didn't, due to my ignorance in making good contents I equally earn nothing on several occasions, sometimes I almost gave up but I kept on until I started earning in cents, my first steemit cents upvote was like a fortune to me, this was what encouraged me more to continue. Gradually I got to understand that steemit isn't all about making money, we can gain so much more from it psychologically, morally, educationally, mentally, spiritually, socially etc.

My high point on steemit if I would say was when the @steemhelpinghands organization was created, it brought all the tool I needed to understand the concept of life, I met people I couldn't, connected to people far and near, got people's attention.
It was a way of impacting lives through the use of blockchain and I accomplished so much more than I could when I never knew about steemit.
I would say, my high point just started and more is yet to be unveiled.

HOW DO YOU BALANCE STEEMIT WITH REAL LIFE ?

My steemit life and real life has not been an easy thing to balance, I'm also into business field where I try out different business models and cryptocurrency is among them but steemit requires almost half of your daily time and commitment which I give by trying to make schedules on my daily activities, Its a good thing steemit is based online so I can be operated anywhere, anytime.

All I just do is schedule a particular time of day for any online activities in order to avoid any conflicts with my business and daily activities.
I believe blockchain is the future and I want to be part of that future.

MOTIVATION FOR YOU

My motivation to go into medical field started when I lost my friend to malaria in the year 2002, during that period there was a public strike and he was rushed to a private hospital where he should be treated but doctors rejected him, the ones who agreed to treat him requested outrageous sum of money, all because they knew we had no option.

My friend died a few hours to his birthday, he was intelligent and smart, he always wanted to be a medical doctor. On his sick bed, he told his mom he doesn't want to die, while his mother kept on encouraging him and sang birthday songs in advance, birthday songs were the last words my childhood friend heard before he left the world.

Back then, when I was told I became furious, though I was young I felt like doing something against the doctors who rejected him. Ever since I decided to save lives and impact lives in the future no matter what it takes, this was what motivated me to pursue the medical field my friend couldn't have.

CHALLENGES/SURVIVAL

I've faced so many challenges in life that almost made me gave up on everything, life has never been a bed of roses for me though. There was a time I almost committed suicide because I was tired of so many things, I don't want to dive into my past stories and challenges but

FINAL WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE AIR-CLINIC FAMILY

My final words to other medics out there is they should all remember people's lives are in their hands, no one should play god, life is a precious gift we cannot give and we have no right to take.
Show compassion because by saving lives and treating people we all are making the world a better place for future generations.
