RE: A tough lesson to finally understand the meaning of being HONORABLE
Congrats you have been selected as Author of the day by the Steemvoter (SV) Guild, keep up the good work and helping make Steem great!
Note: You should receive many guild votes in an hour or so, enjoy!
Oh wow that´s just made my day!!!!
What is so great about this for me is that I also thought it was the best post I have done myself.
It took me 3 days to put it all together, digging up old photographs and newspaper articles and scanning them. Taking pics of my old medals as well as my sword.
And then writing the whole matter was quite an emotional experience reliving the whole past events over again.
I was quite tearful at times - lol!
This is a day I will remember, such things as this really go along way to give you motivation. Just great!
Much appreciated @steemvoter
Great post, I have to admit it was by far the best i came across for the day if not the month, I really enjoyed the read :) and could see a lot of work and thought had been put into this. ..Congrats.
Truly made my day big time!
I have been telling everyone I know how great Steemit is, especially to those I know and admire who are great content creators who are still on Facebook.
I tell them that on Steemit your work is not only appreciated but valued.
Today has just proved I was right.
I feel Steemit is a rare entity in that it has the power and potential to do great good in the world and I am so proud to be part of that.
A positive day I will remember for a long time.
Cheers @crytptoiskey
Hey, I'm replying from my personal account instead of the @steemvoter co-owned one. I really identified with your story, I grew up in the martial arts era of the 80's and this took me back, I myself was an amateur martial artist and did samurai training, Katori Shinto Ryu, and collected swords and weapons and stuff. I hit myself in the nuts many times learning the nunchaku watching Bruce Lee movies.
I understand fully what it is like to write and be tearful, I have had the honour of being involved in three top trending projects on Steem, @steemdrive, @steemsports and now @steemvoter guilds, every project was conceived with passion and emotion.
I remember the @steemdrive billboard campaign back in August 2016, I spent days formatting the launch post and obtaining quotes for billboards as well as figuring out how to get Steem to bitcoin to my native currency to pay for them. On the day I posted an hour past and I only had a couple of dollars, @instructor2121 (now founder of @steemtrail) came to me in chat quietly and told me my post was the best one he saw all day and said the votes will come, not long after @rainmain was the first whale to vote me and then @blocktrades, like you tears just rolled down my face when I saw the post and my dream starting to become real.
The days when the Steem price was high were magical times of wonder, I am enjoying the Steemvoter Guilds because they bring back the excitement there once was on Steem and is a great way to earn rewards while helping uplift others as well. Thank you for taking me back twice today, first with your story and again with your reply.
I would like it if you join our @steemsports community channel on discord, we are hoping to build a global Sports community around the @steemsports project and webapp, hopefully creating demand for Steem through our project. You seem like a great person to have in our sub-community.
Hey thanks man what a wonderful comment and good to meet a felow 80s martial artist - jeez those were good times.
"I hit myself in the nuts many times learning the nunchaku watching Bruce Lee movies" --- I have been there lol!
Hey man I can feel your enthusiasm for this platform and that is actually the real priceless value on this space, without which the platform would collapse. My sincere respect and admiration to you @thecryptodrive
For sure man I will join up to the Steemsports community.
I think the only reason why I have not done so before is that I am still learning the ropes and looking around at whats going on.
I keep hearing so many positive comments on what you guys do there it was only a matter of time I ended up there anyway but I must admit it is nice to get a personal invitation. That means a lot.
Hey thanks again greatly appreciated.
Sure no probs my friend, the best thing about Steemit is you meet great people, @cryptoiskey and I have been friends since nearly the beginning of Steem and he has been involved in all my projects. @marcgodard the co-founder and dev of Steemvoter and I have been friends since around October last year. The connections are truly the spice of Steem.
