SteemFest 2 Lights Up the Way

in #steemfest27 years ago

My take on Steemit after SteemFest 2... @ned and the team at Steemit.com have landed squarely on their feet since the Larimer departure. They've worked through the necessary transitions and have now found their own voice. They have a vested interest in seeing Steemit and Steem do well... as do we. We may, at times, disagree on project priorities, but we share the same overall vision.

So, as I see it, patience at this time is paramount. Yes, there's still some house keeping to do. But, opportunities like Steemit are rare. They have a life of their own. They're difficult to speed up or slow down. So do your thing, make your 'play' and enjoy the ride.

Lastly, it's always good to set up a few personal guidelines to insure you're steadily 'steeming' forward... on course. Mine are very simple.

"Post original content only, exercise my 'witness' vote wisely, be a thoughtful and discerning curator, support a humanitarian effort daily, set aside a few Steem from each blog for my future 'nest egg', take some income to reward myself or to support my projects, and always strive to leave the Steemit 'room' at the end of the day in better shape than when I entered it." Do these daily and I believe good things will happen!

Stay positive and stay well!

@brian-rhodes, your philosophy on the present situation and how to go about it is exactly the same as mine and have been sharing this thought with quite a few people today already. This time, I don't even need to write, I just TOTALLY agree with you, word for word!

As we say in Quebec, patience is *"The Mother of All Virtues"!

Stay well, keep your smile and taking god care, Steem on and, more importantly as you already know and show us, thrive on!

Namaste :)

It was very nice to meet you there, best greets, Norman

Well said and love your positive attitude!

Thank you. Just carve out your little 'Pieds de terre' on Steemit, post interesting and original content, save a few Steem for the future and all will be well.

it was amazing to meet you Brian, thanks for your advice and your incredible stories. I will try to be patient as I wait to see these films realised, but at the same time, I really hope those producers just pull their fingers out and get you funded! You have a wonderful way of crafting character dynamics and your stories need an audience! :) x

@basilmarples Thank you for your kind comments. Pleasure meeting you Basil and looking forward to staying in touch.

Hola Brian, soy nuevo en steem, me acabo de registrar, no conocía este sitio hasta hace poco y estoy tratando de ponerme al día.
Mi saludo desde Copiapoó, norte de Chile.

Hola Mario! Bienvenido. Te deseo buena suerte y diversión! Solo asegúrate de guardar tanto Steem como puedas. Quién sabe, puede llegar el día en que valga la pena. miles de dólares. ¡Cuídate!

Hola Brian!!! Gracias amigo estoy recién aprendiendo como funciona este sitio. Estamos en contacto!!!

It was cool to meet you at Steemfest. I agree it was really well run and we had a great group people. I made lots of new friends

Cool meeting you as well! I remember your handle. But, I must admit, I'm a little screwed up trying to match faces with handles since I accidentally deleted all my pics from Steemfest2. Arrgh! Stay well!

I'm not great with names and faces either. I think we just chatted briefly. I hope you made some good contacts

I did. Lots of good contacts. Lots of discussion. A very rewarding event. Take care!

I did. Thanks.
