Giving back is very important, be it to your family, community and even on the Steem platform.

At a certain point of your journey on the Steem platform, we have been helped by others in one way or another. Up voting our posts is one. Commenting and resteeming is another. More often than not, we forget those people who helped us grow. We forget those people who supported us all the way. That is why, we try to help others who are new to this platform to grow.

Since I no longer remember other users who supported me, what I do is I try to Keep paying it forward. If I helped others to thrive in the Steem ocean, then I feel that I have paid back the support others have accorded me. If this would become our mindset, then growth here will be inevitable. And I believe this is the primary purpose of this platform. Not to earn but to engage.
