Speak Life #5 | Soaring High

There’s an old saying that "if you see a turtle on top of a fence post, you can be sure he didn’t get there by himself." I don’t know of many successful people who aren’t like the turtle. They’ve taken responsibility and done the work, but others have provided ideas, mentoring, coaching, encouragement, and more. Avail yourself of the wisdom and help of others, and you’ll go farther faster.

When I get my self involved in this #steemit platform, I see it as a great opportunity to further my knowledge and learn some stuff that would help me in many ways. I thought that this is going to be a brain-draining as well as we will be interacting with the community in a foreign language. True enough! And maybe I am not the only one who thought like that.

Now that I am in, as a newbie, I have discovered that Steemit is actually a big world. I was lost! This is not only an open platform where in you can just post your thoughts and or learn from reading others blogs. This is a business with many faces. I would need to have someone who could patiently coach me and mentor me faster, someone that could probably understand where I am coming from and won't take advantage to my inocence. I need those so I could channel them to the people that I recruited to join here. These people would pretty much rely on my knowledge too as they get started.

In order for me to start soaring and help others to do the same, I have to be on other people's wings to learn. Listen carefully and humbly take every instruction with a grateful heart. This is a chain. This is how we should put in our hearts to. That we need the help of others so we could extend our hands to help others too.

I am just starting and thankful for Hive account@marylizacaindoy and sir Hive account@john for introducing this platform to me and to Hive account@anakiles for consistently helping me grow here.
