And Yea!!! My introduction is finally made known here on steemit.com.
It wouldn't be an understatement to say my joy is to the fullest as I finally got a working account with this great platform.
Got a satisfying and convincing information about the platform rewind back to May/June 2017 can't say precisely, with a lecture well presented by a boss and presently a wave making steemian
, in the then group Euroversity which is now a great community promoting this wonderful platform in its uttermost part of its catchment area
.
If for no reason I wouldn't love the platform the urge to be an Internet guru and an endorsement by a boss turn friend means I can and I should which I have done now.
and
A quick rewind back to the time I heard about this, after the great lecture by and fully endorsed by
, just like many other many other success oriented members who has been searching and trying to get a working, paying and trustworthy platform, I go for account opening and I waited like other members to receive a confirmation Email.
I was part of the few members then whom their email came in late, it wasn't a problem waiting since the wait is worth it.
While waiting, uhmnnn! The UNEXPECTED happened, someone said UNEXPECTED? Yes! Unexpected, before the the time I heard about steemit.com, I had resigned from my work to move on with life, standing in my own and doing business adding it up with the online/networking business which I was then doing welt has been a good partner. I
I had a challenge then, I had the start up capital but if business is started, the sustenance of it and my own keep up would be a challenge. So I tried playing smart, I got the less costly materials and equipment needed to start my business remaining the costliest and most important part of the equipment needed.
I then put it in a platform with the hope of when I get it back with gain then I can go for the material, then use the gain which double amount of it will be for my upkeep and sustenance of the business.
Fast forward, the expected time for the expected income to fall in is due but nothing seems happening.
Now I am brain disturbed, Emotionally weak, unsettled mind, diversion of attention set in, gat a lot of bills to pay, I'm almost running to nothing I loss my all, I mean a reasonable amount of money in its hundreds of thousand which happens to be the life saving I had then.
In between this time was when i received
whichsteemit confirmation message, oh my! Oh my, this time around I don't even have enough to subscribe enough data to browse the Internet.
Well all this happened just when I thought I had seen it all then my lovely and most cherished device which I use to 'jejely' (simply) browse WhatsApp by using WhatsApp bundle provided by my network provider then got spoilt 🙄, this is so disheartening because to feed around this time was even a big task. Anyways It all happened but as a man with a big Why, I kept on pushing even when no one could reach me for a couple of months, not to talk of helping me.
Fast forward to now, I dusted my certificate and renovated my curriculum vitae (CV) smiles
😊 and got back to work late September. The right set of people is all you need around you, immediately I became reachable, my friends kept getting through to me and sharing better ideas, but hey!
Once beaten twice shy is what I've always heard so I put all together compared and contrast but there is this man who would not give up on me even when he knows i needed help, he says and I quote "Victor e be like say you don get where u dey chop money, come join steemit.com and you'll just be happy with yourself " that means Victor if you don't have any platform that is paying you, its better you join steemit.com , I can't just thank you enough, God bless you.
Well, I know different thoughts has been running through your mind as you were reading through my post, yes, it wasn't a favorable situation but yet it was the best part of my life experience.
#Lesson learnt---
Patience does it all
One step at a time, this will make your lose minimal if at all you'll (although its inevitable -- lose some to gain much)
The good in your hand is the enemy of the best out there, learn to give so you'll receive.
Big lesson learnt is PATIENCE! PATIENCE!! PATIENCE!!!
My fight has a purpose! What I have been through has paved the way for where God is taking me! Where there is pressure there are diamonds and where there is crushing there is oil! I may sweat now but the END Will be SWEET.
It's hard to wait around for something you know might never happen, but it's more harder to give up when you know it's everything you want.
Like my Pastor will say,
"When you fall down, don't remain there!!! Get up, Dust yourself, Chest out, Chin up and walk Straight. This is the morning of your life. It's a New Dispensation for you... Glory to God!"
Now I'm in a new dispensation Joining the great community officially the first online platform I'm joining in many months so happy to be here to meet people who their WHY's are bigger than mine
So, I introduce myself as (Joseph Onoriode Victor)
Expect greater posts from me.
Thanks all
