First of all steemit has they said is a lovely place where you can stay and grow with help of working together with others
Steemit is said to be a place where you can make money with your content, just keep writing and you will make it on steemit
But is not just as easy as it sound, it can be very difficult to come out of the crowd even with your great write-ups.
But one person give me much joy and I respect much and he/she is 
Before you can grow you need someone to help you and that person is damarth, I'm new here but since I join, the encouragement I got as a newbie was an upvote from him/her , so I decided to take a look at his page and check out some new introduceyourself post to know if I was just lucky or special then I find out that has been his doing
He always upvote newbies to encourage and welcome them which is to me the best thing that can happen to any newbie of steemit
I'm not writing this for any upvote from him as I notice also on his wallet people send him messages through the transfer memo begging for upvote some with very lame excuses and some ask for donation which is not supposed to be so. But I also like the fact that he/she is a person of dignity, as I took time to check all the links sent through memo and he never upvote them.
My sincere gratitude goes to you
So you can share your thoughts about him in comment section if I'm right or wrong.
And by the way he did not have profile picture so I couldn't get his photo.
