"A steemit Janitor is different from A steemit janitor" - A quote from 
Hive account@surpassinggoogle and his explanation was this: "While one is busy cleaning daily, the other mining minds incessantly and is beginning to understand the concept, 'dirt is good; ask the soap master' ".
I was only able to get on almost 1 am. I nearly decided not to join because I could not get in even with the invites. Well silly me, how could I join if I did not have the discord app downloaded on my phone. Once I had it and logged in I was able to hear clearly and they heard me too!
As soon as I had my headphones on I heard Hive account@surpassinggoogle or Terry loud and clear. He was discussing about the Power of the Steemit Post. He was talking about dreams and goals and how to get them. He said go for the dream, step by step. His example was that if your dream was to travel or go abroad, there are steps to take. First you must procure your passport. Once you have it, it will be your guide or inspiration to lead to the traveling. Listening to him it hit a nerve in me. Because at that moment that was my goal, to go abroad to the US and see my grandson and daughter.
I was not planning to stay long in the discord talk but hearing him say those things sparked my interest. I am glad I slept earlier and woke up and tried to join. Maybe it was meant to be.
@Surpassinggoogle's phone was not so good so he was being cut off. So one member 
Hive account@maverickinvictus acted as moderator because I guess some where kind of shy or that their microphones were not working. That was good of him to do so.
A few had questions which were saved to SG ( Hive account@surpassinggoogle ) to answer later. Some shared their feelings and experiences. During a lull, I decided to try to speak my experience. I was kind of hesitant and shy because I know my voice does not sound good especially at 2am and just woke up. But I told them that what SG was saying about goals and how to reach them. So I was telling them my plans or dream to go to the US to see my grandson and that I was finally able to get the first step by procuring my passport. It is difficult for me and expensive because I have to travel to Manila so I kept putting it off. But by some blessing the US Embassy decided to host an outreach program in my place in the Visayas, Iloilo. So I was able to process my passport and finally it was mailed to me. I would like to thank those who helped me financially like Hive account@surpassinggoogle, 
Hive account@paradise-found and 
Hive account@henry-gant. Now I look at it often likewhat SG said so it would give me inspiration to continue to rach my dreams/goals.
I was saying that my next step or goal is to save for the ticket since I plan to go early next year preferably in January 2019 before he turns 1 yr old. Suddenly SG butt in and said my goals are attainable! He was listening! I was touched and that he remembers me when we had our video chat when 
Hive account@iwrite and 
Hive account@antonette went for a vigil for SG mom. Gave me hope. Also someone already gave me some SBD to help which is still in my wallet waiting for a high exchange so I could get the most from it. Thanks Hive account@henry-gant. I do hope the sbd will go up. Round trip ticket costs about $800 and up. I have to come back for my mom here.
He also talked about climbing the mountains and trees and to shine. Never judge a person because of what he is wearing or where they are from. Clothes and the country do not make a person. You have to see the good not the bad. Always dig deep and find the treasure. Dig and write, play with words and feelings to make a good post. It was a fun time. He also said that he has made a post that had 10k words, wow I can barely make 2k. But I do try to get at least over 300-500 words.
What was also a conversation piece was my gecko, he started "singing" and everyone heard, hahaha. That was when I knew my mic was working.
I met some new friends besides the ones I already knew like Hive account@iwrite, 
Hive account@sitiaishah. 
Hive account@yanzel4lyf, my #SDfamily group, then 
Hive account@bloghound a longtime friend and 
Hive account@iyanpol12 were also there. Hive account@bloghound spoke also, she has a nice sweet voice.. I also got to talk/chat with 
Hive account@sn0white, 
Hive account@mrposyble_Valentine, 
Hive account@mermaidvampire who laughed at my gecko, I wish I could join her poetry reading contest but I talk too fast. I also met 
Hive account@glenyosores, 
Hive account@dwightjaden and 
Hive account@creyestxsa94. Also 
Hive account@nexrules, 
Hive account@michaeljerry0, 
Hive account@phantum04 and 
Hive account@lordjames. There were so many. Some talked and some listened. It was a good crowd.
I heard they even had Hive account@surpassinggoogle sing, too bad I already logged out. I am glad I was able to join and learn. They said to prepare a song next time OMG I will hide hahah. I can't sing like my nephew Jed Madela. The talent skipped me and went to my daughter.
What I learned was that we should build our dreams learn, to shine and have your mind set to your dream visions. Also to respect others and no time for governance. Play fair.
Next time I will sleep early then wake up at 12 midnight so I can join longer. Also prepare questions and suggestions.
@Surpassinggoogle's instructions to use. We all learn something every time there is a discord talk. He said he will try to buy a better phone so he will not get cut off. I hope he does. Maybe there will be someone good who will sponsor one for him heheh.
