RE: Contest Alert: Beyond Steemit's Walls
Sincerely, @bossj23, this post you've made hits differently.
You see this statement,
...what you may be looking for in life, another user may be the answer.
it encapsulates a lot of truths. Steemit is just like any other social media platform. This is a place to promote your skills, share your experiences and learn from others.
You could find a job here. You could find a person to work on your next project together. You can even find for life partner here.
I remember reading a post one time. The author complained about a encountering a challenge. I dropped my contact requesting that they call me ASAP that I was willing to help.
I waited for one week, no response. What the person didn't know was that I was working on a project that could fetch this person not less than ₦300k that month. And this author was qualified.
Gosh, I am still pained that a steemian missed that opportunity.
Maybe the Holy Spirit had caused the author to make that post during that period so they benefit as well. But I understood that they might not have been comfortable with the idea of speaking with a complete stranger. Which is understandable.
Also, I know they might have found favour in other ways because I know the creator always supports us in our times of need.
But it reminded me that this is not just any regular space. This is a social space to mingle and grow.
"...what you may be looking for in life, another user may be the answer."
I pray I never forget this as well.
What did I just read... 300k? Oh my, my village people are at work.
One thing I've noticed, just like on other social media platforms, is that some people are very cautious about chatting with others outside of their immediate circle. I can't even recall if I've chatted with anyone outside my fellow countrymen.
I have a close friend with whom I chat about anything on Telegram. She encourages me to always do my best instead of comparing myself to others. I refer to her as my "mom," not to show off, but because I've disappointed her several times, yet she still believes in me. Many of you know about @wakeupkitty...
Does that ring a bell for you?
Recently, I reached out to a user named @cripto-pie by commenting on his post, 1, 2, 3... but I wasn't getting any response from him. A few days later, he finally replied.
I asked him why he never responds to comments on his posts, and he said that people don't always engage with him. However, I was impressed by his dedication and commitment to posting daily without fail. I've never seen anyone so creative when it comes to photography.
Though I may have lost his attention (I don't think he remembers I exist) 🤣, I still see him as a mentor. The funny thing is that I have no idea where he is from.

Wow. It's good to know you try to reach out to people from different countries and also have meaningful conversations with them. Why not try mentioning any other user? 😁
I mentioned 2 people in the comments....... Okay
Next week......I gonna reach out.
I got the ck test late and I couldn't just figure out everything that once
Like, you get! And these were high-profile clients. That was access. That was money. Still, some disappointments are blessings sha.
That's sad and my apologies for replying to this late. I've had meaningful conversations with people in different countries, but I've not gotten the opportunity to interact with those whose ranks are below 70. I hope to do this soon.
