Hello everyone, 
Hive account@mannyz here. A month ago I was still struggling with how to make steemit a part of me and become a full steemian. The picture above reminds me of that.
Hive account@perkyyoung, a friend of mine, was arguing with me yesternight as we talked about my one month on steemit so far. He argued that someone who is one month old on steemit is still a newbie irrespective of his reputation (lol). But of course I didn't buy that idea, this is because ones reputation shows clearly how long one has been on steemit, how well and "spotless" he has been participating; and of course how sociable he has been so far.
Let me also say that one has to be effectively sociable to be a part of this community. Our 'judge', 
Hive account@ibezim agreed to my points as he is also one month old but his reputation is still struggling with crossing the 30 'threshold'. This is because he hasn't, for a long time, tried to participate fully in the activities of the community. And as a motivator and steemit preacher, I've downed it on me to give him the necessary motivations he may possibly need to partake in continuous activities of the community and benefit very massively.
As I wrap up my celebration, I wish to advice us to continue to make steemit a wonderful place it was meant to be so that all, including all newbies, will see ample reasons to join in the activities of blogging, socializing and investing.
