I just gave you $55. You deserve it. Welome to adulthood 3.0.
I always saw Steem Power in the context of adding wealth to others. From Day 1. That is why I wanted it so bad. Money, well, I have not been motivated to make money. I have a bad relationship with it, because I always attached the worst kind of greed monsters to the idea of money. I bought the definition of wealth that our society has created: vapid, soulless people who would run slave factories, raping the earth for profits. Now, with Steemit, I realize that wealth can coexist with deep philosophical value systems. We are finally free to realize that nature and money are both freely flowing and abundant. Scarcity has been designed to keep the masses enslaved, while the slave owners, the most psychotic individuals reap the rewards. This is a backwards system, divorced from natural laws. We have been living in a system that is designed poorly. Steem is designed with the best, nicest, most valued people being rewarded. Even if you decry the whole "the tits win the awards" thing, men, have themselves to blame. Without men voting for these tit posts, they would go nowhere. How many whales are women? I bet there are either 1 or zero. This is the true imbalance of the tit reward system. It will even out, maybe.......
Agreed this simple post encompasses everything that steemit should be. Please post this from your account @stellabelle so others can see that while money is great and needed for sustaining life in our modern world, there are many more valuable things to pursue after. I happily vote for people that show they are selfless and use their profits here to make a literal difference. A child contributing a few pennies out of their small piggy bank to a charity is more valuable to me than a millionaire writing a check that is a drop in the bucket for him or her. The selfless act shows that you are willing to have less and give more. I really enjoy helping people realize what their value is and what they can contribute. Not everyone is a great writer, but everyone has a passion or story that sharing might make someone else's day or turn someone on to something new.
OMG, Leah. Please copy & paste this comment of yours and build upon it to become a story/article of its own.
YES. Yes. yes. So masterfully, wonderfully, wisely stated.
you've stood out as one of THE best writers on this platform since I first got into it, and this perspectively completely sums up the attitude/outlook/perspective/philosophy that has inspired many of us who've invested so much of heart & soul into this.
PLEASE expand upon this and publish so it gets trending and more people will read. the more people that really get this, as you've well-expressed it here, the better for the whole community...
(and your votes are worth $55 now?? you have indeed joined the ranks of the whales. :-) )
if you think @stellabelle is a shark, clearly you don't know her very well at all.
and don't fool yourself into thinking sharks don't also appear in the form of prancing around trying to knock other people down while concealing their intentions behind smiley faces...
Im glad you are generous to other people,it will make them happy for sure.
As you can see rok-sivante is ill and he really needs that.He will surely be excited about it :)
though to be serious for a moment - as it obvious based on all three of your comments on your thread what definition of "ill" you've intended...
be careful of what projections you make here. reflections may be provided that show you aspects of yourself you've wished not to see... as much as you may have been able to hide them from yourself, sometimes the writing is clear on the wall for others who can see through the words you put forward masked in smiles...
I've only been here a little over a week and I've found some amazing stories and information from people in so many different backgrounds - I really enjoy my time here!!! Also, I think that learning about other peoples experiences is what helps me grow as a person so thanks for being here!!
The more I see the Steem power and SBD rewards come from my posts, the more I want to read other peoples content and reply to it. (I'm used to replying to comments on my YouTube channel because I love interacting with fans).
I consider myself a pretty positive person already, but learning about everyone else's journey and experiences is just making me feel even more positive about life (Even without the rewards)!!
I look forward to seeing more posts and I hope you have a great day!!
YEAH BUDDAYYY!!
That's how great steemit is and how HUGE the potential of this platform is. I don't have much power (I'm in the lower part of the powerlist of the website) but I tried to help a guy who's looking for help in this post. Unfortunately, it didn't go well... I hope people like you and @brunopro and others like-minded get to be top of the whale-list and can help less lucky people. Steemit can do it. Let's make of Steemit something even better than what it already is, I believe it can happen :)
Upvoted and following you, hope I'll see you around soon.

Brilliant post. I love how Steemit encourages good behaviour. As the code gets refined over time, there will be no point gaming the system and the only answer will be to just get involved, be nice, and have fun.
First of all I am thankful to @eSteemapp because they have added an awesome feature to showcase the top posts on the upperside of everbody's profile, that's how I found your amazingly well written blog
I am reading it and I can totally relate myself with few of the lines. Yes, It has become an addiction and I am learning a lot from the platform. I was never a social guy and I had never participated in the communities. The last 1.5-2 months have been amazing for me. Steemit is one of the reason I could get back to the track called life. I was unnhappy about my portfolio.
I am pretty sure that I am on the right track. Yes, the platform has rewired my brain to the some extent. I have started to involve in the communities. I am trying to add values wherever I can and the most important I am loving whatever I am doing.
I truly appreciate your act of giving money to the people who appreciate it with love. It is kinda unconditional because you don't expect anything from 'em. This experience is itself a reward and money is nothing in front of this overwhelming feeling.
It was a wonderful experience to know your perspective because these kind of articles are gems for the new users . Resteeming...I would love to read more from your side.
Lots of love

Well. I would say your way of writing is incredible. I am eager to read and learn more from your side. You always talk about adding value and that inspires me for sure.
I since I know the world of the bitcoin, the ethereum and steemit, I realize that people here see more than other people. I.e., that obviously an of our goals is the of winning money. Whoever says that he is not lying. But we also have a desire to share our success, our deeds, our anxieties and failures. Gradually we will know each other, share some love with some, others will like us the way to captivate us with their stories or travel, but if there is something that unites us all is steemit. All have Steemit in common, and it is something extraordinary.
Really interesting to read.
I think it's a rare quality to be able to be this astutely introspective and highly articulate at the same time.
Steemit is the perfect platform to be rewarded for such abilities and you seem to have it nailed, sir.
Keep up the good work, and have an up vote from me!
yea, I stumbled upon that post of yours commented yesterday. GOLD.
please keep up the good work with that attitude of creating value for the community. you will go far, exert some amazing positive influence, and make real magic happen. ;-)
Value is key, but the real value is not in the posts.
It's in the relations created out of posting and being part of network. Follow each other. Motivate each other. Be a better commenter and give constuctive feedback to improve one another's articles and writing.
You've got a very powerful and underated message here. Upvoted for sure. It struck me when you said "I persisted through that discouragement". I know what that is like.

I would rather call you a shark,not a dolphin :)
Dolphin are peaceful,and sharks love profit :)

thank you for recommending @brunopro. this article of his is an EXCELLENT one.
Brilliant post. I love how Steemit encourages good behaviour. As the code gets refined over time, there will be no point gaming the system and the only answer will be to just get involved, be nice, and have fun.
YES.
upvoted for appreciation of your attitude. :-)
Oh thanks so much rok. Very much appreciated. Looking forward to more of your posts.

Whoa. How interesting - always a trip seeing comments come in on posts two years old. A rather cool eSteem feature indeed. :-)
Well. I would say your way of writing is incredible. I am eager to read and learn more from your side. You always talk about adding value and that inspires me for sure.
🙏
Curious as what others that eSteem feature might bring up - there’s some gems buried in there from the last couple years for sure...
There are many awesome features I would say.I like all of 'em
I since I know the world of the bitcoin, the ethereum and steemit, I realize that people here see more than other people. I.e., that obviously an of our goals is the of winning money.

Very good article, and very well writen. You got my upvote and respect Sir ;)

post quite good, but not for everyone.
Agreed
You've got a very powerful and underated message here. Upvoted for sure. It struck me when you said "I persisted through that discouragement". I know what that is like.
