I think that it’s about time to introduce myself to my Steemit friends, who have been discussing and laughing with me for some time now.
My name is Predrag Milošević, and I’m a 29-year-old beautiful, smart, funny, strong, you-name-it guy from Belgrade, Serbia.
I have graduated on Faculty of Organizational Sciences, worked as a Project Manager in a couple of companies, and dumped my corporate career because I didn’t like spending 8-10 hours on work + 1-2 hours on commuting five times per week.
I really felt that I desperately need more time for myself, and I’ve managed to get that time by switching from corporate to freelance career. Big thanks to my ex-girlfriend and current best girl friend for introducing me to Upwork. I’ve managed to become a Top-rated Business Plan Consultant there, which allows me to have a fair life in my country by working just a couple of hours per day from home.
However, about a month ago, also introduced me to Steemit! I will summarize my thoughts about Steemit like this:
- I came here for the money
- Very soon I came to believe that there is no much money for me here
- I choose to stay anyway because I really enjoyed the opportunity to express my life & society thoughts and get a lot of much-appreciated meaningful feedback to them
- After connecting with some like-minded Steemians, I came to realize that there actually is (and will be more and more) money for me here, too
- I choose to reinvest everything I earn on Steemit in powering-up my Steemit account
- I decided to decrease my freelance activities (I increased my hourly rate and closed some old contracts in order to get fewer jobs) so that I can have more time for posting, commenting, upvoting, and above-all enjoying Steemit
- My topics here have and will mostly include life philosophy, social norms, morals & ethics, psychology, history, and some beauty
I would like to take this opportunity to thank some of the guys who I already consider my Steemit friends because we have had multiple thoughtful and/or funny discussions here (sorted in an alphabetical order; my apologies to the friends that I’ve forgotten to include):
, who always carefully reads articles and posts comprehensive, meaningful comments
, a guy for whom I can’t decide if he’s wiser or funnier, very often posts highly useful and fun info
, a girl from neighboring Croatia with very positive comments
, a very wise and polite grandfather from Asia with always thoughtful comments
, an extremely positive German girl currently volunteering in the Philippines, lovely communication
, a guy with short but straight-to-the-point comments
, who always thinks about what he reads and adds very valuable and comprehensive opinion and feedback
In addition to Steemit and Upwork, I spend most of my time on dancing the Argentinian tango - I'm spamming this post with my tango pictures because I don't have many non-tango pictures. Here is an extract from my article about my tango experience:
I needed months of persuasion to try out the Argentinian Tango because I thought that there is no way that I could like something like that, that dancing is "gay", and that I would be horrible at it. Now I become jittery whenever I don't tango for more than one day.
Social tango has nothing to do with what is displayed in the movies. Social tango is nonverbal communication, synchronization, and relationship between two persons, music, and other people around you. It doesn’t require you to wiggle or shake your butt, but it does require (or maybe it’s better to say “helps you develop”) openness, relaxation, awareness, sensitivity, creativity, and musicality.
What makes it special is the way it is danced. It is danced in a close embrace (hug) with a focus on feeling, leading, following, adjusting, and improvising with your partner instead of doing choreographed, memorized moves independently or with a light contact with your partner.
Here’s a link to one of my favorite tango songs: Juan D'arienzo - El viento me cuenta cosas.
As an interesting fact, before discovering tango, I was mostly listening to punk music and going to punk parties. Here's my pic from a punk concert:
As I'm finishing the writing of this post, I feel happy because I'm becoming more personal and open with you guys. : )
