Hi, let me introduce myself.

I have a few days to observe and study Steemit. And finally I decided to do so.

About Steemit

The first thing I would like to say - I have long been associated with the IT sphere. Since I'm always thinking of various advent of blogs and social networks that I published.
For example, it could be:

• Daily monitoring;
• work and professional publications, information about my achievements;
• Photos maded by me and my wife.

But I have never started a blog. Perhaps I have not enough time for this. Perhaps I am too lazy. And maybe I do not want to do something poorly. Because I am an introvert and a procrastinator, as they say now. (In fact, all the reasons are correct)

I use social networks, reading blogs of experts, professional and entertaining information resources. But I am always in readonly mode. Sometimes I made likes for nice publications and share them with friends.

Now, when I know about Steem, like many people, I interested on its idea of "actively participate in the life of a social network and get rewarded for it."
And I decided to do this experiment. There is a lot of things are not explainable around us. Someone has already earned cryptocurrency. Someone in the video in youtube. Someone on streamings.

It is considered to be in my family, that in order to make money, you need to work hard. It is understood that the work should be the head or use physical force.

But Steemit is something original! Let's see how it works ...

About myself

I am 36 years old and I live in a small town in Russia (so sorry for my bad English, I used a translator). For many years I lived in one of the most beautiful cities in Russia - St. Petersburg. But my childhood I lived in another country (former republic of the Soviet Union).

I'm an introvert, and I find it easier to be alone or to spend time among the closest people. And of course I love spending time at the computer or with the gadgets.

In this case, and because of my work, I do not want to show my face.
I also do not like cheaters and liars. And I hate to lie.

About family

I have a wonderful family. Wife and two children. Boy and girl. They are wonderful. My son is an athlete, and his daughter - the little princess (beautiful and a little whimsical). I believe that they would be better than me.

My wife is a great hostess and amazing cook. And she has always supported me in difficult moments. I love her so much.

About work

I like my job. I am lucky that the work and hobby have coincided for me. Due to the circumstances I can only say that I'm something like an analyst and technical writer.

By the way, do you know that many employers (in Russia and probably in the world) are now studying the profiles of people in social networks, before hiring?
Even communicating with partners, you can look into the social networks and make an opinion about the person which you have to work.

By the way, I am a candidate of technical sciences (PhD). I want to say that I rightfully deserved this degree and my dissertation greatly appreciated my colleagues.
This experience really helps me in my work and in life. Unfortunately, it's difficult to express my feelings about it in a foreign language. But to be a real PhD in Russia means a lot for me.

Sport

In school I was very fond of basketball. I played it for days on end with my friends.
And of course, I loved to watch NBA matches. My favorite team was the Chicago Bulls. A principal idol was Michael Jordan (23).

After a long break I started playing volleyball. I play with great passion, and I was getting pretty good for a beginner.
Now I rarely watch sports matches. Only occasionally volleyball. Beach. Female.
Well, you know what I mean. ;-)

Music

I love music. Music helps me to relax. Music helps to concentrate on work. Music can enter me into a trance. Perhaps that is why I prefer electronic music.
I often listen to drum and bass, house, dubstep. I like Moby, The Chemical Brothers and more. But most of all I like trance.

One of my favorite tracks is Infected Mushrooms - Dancing with kadafi.

I also like to listen to electronic music of 90's (rave, happy hardcore).

Cinema

I love good movies. Heat (Al Pacino), Snatch, Matrix, Avatar and others.
Recently, I watched a few TV shows. Most of all I liked the House MD, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Walking dead, Game of thrones.

Games

I used to heavily addicted to computer games. Most of all I like shooters - Quake, Counter Strike, Delta Force. One of the best games I ever know is Grand Theft Auto (GTA). By the way I am one of those who learned to ride in the GTA before started to drive. :-) I really liked Minecraft.

Now sometimes I play CS: GO.

With my son we play different games on the XBOX. Most active in Minecraft. We are mining diamonds in the mines and build houses together.

Books

I read not so much as I would like. Most recently remembered:

• Dalai Lama, "The Art of Happiness. Leaders for Life "(yes, that's my nickname came from here)
• Аlexandre Dumas, “The Count of Monte Cristo”

Also I love science fiction and fantasy.
Now I read “Game of thrones”.

So I told you a little about myself. I hope you are not tired.
I want to wish all of you success in life and work. And of course good luck in Steemit.
As a scientist, I hope to succeed in this experiment. Otherwise, I did not start it.
I look forward to your support.

PS: In Steemit I'm most interested in nature photography. I'm also a little photograph. I think I will create a few posts with my photos of the places where I lived and which I attended.
