continued........
So the 1st part became a huge success !! I received more then 130 comments and due to that I couldn't make time to write more the next week. I tried to reply everyone but it seemed impossible. But I read each and every comment even if I didn't reply to some. It was amazing to know your stories about how steemit helped you in one way or the other. I am sorry for missing out on replying to some comments but you guys were waiting for the second part and I had to finish this one off. Also, the 15 ways changed to 21 ways because I realized some more amazing ways through which my life changed due to steemit. So there is another part coming guys with more ways !! Until then, here is how my life changed through steemit it and how you can changes yours too :) :-
9. The habit of reading will open new gates for you :-
This one is really important to know so that you start reading other's content !! Some people say to me that come on, who the hell is going to read so much and then comment !! It is so time consuming and neither do we feel interested to read. Well yes, it happens in the beginning but if you force yourself do read continuously, 3 things will happen !!
First, your reading speed will increase and the time it took you to read 1 article, you will be able to read 5 in that time span.
Second, you will be able to do the above because your focus and concentration power will increase dramatically, accompanied by a greater ability to grab complex vocabularies and grammar. This would help you in the outer world as well to live the moment to the fullest while concentrating at one place at a time, thus helping you save your time in other chores as well !!
Third, you will realize that even those articles, which you have no interest in are providing you with some knowledge that you would never have known whole your life if you didn't force yourselves to read !! Soon you will turn into one curious being willing to accept knowledge and keep your mind open and read whatever is presented in front of you.
10. Change your life by changing your techniques :-
To reach the park in your society, there are always MANY WAYS. Aren't there? Similar is the case when you want to reach anywhere else, may it be your dream life, your motive, success etc !! What I mean to say is that you need to Experiment.
Sometimes some things works on some people, sometimes they don’t work at all, sometimes they work on everyone . You need to keep trying, just try a different trick and never give up !! Whether it’s life or it’s steemit. Here are many ways to write, many ways to leave an impression, many ways to attract audiences, many ways to make contact etc. You just need to find out what works the best for you.
11. Is getting old the purpose of life ?
Of course not, but we all are heading there. But we still enjoy our journey. That’s how you should take your aim !! Only to give you a direction. You need not hurry. Instead you need to enjoy the journey.
Steemit teaches you to take it easy and take it slow. You might get a little late to be a dolphin or to be a whale but you would be there, someday!! Why to hurry? Just enjoy the journey 😃.
12. Unity in diversity :-
When you speak to people of different nationalities here on steemit, you realize how big the world is, and how small your thinking is ! You realize the things that you thought were just so damn serious for you does not keep any importance at all in other countries. It broadens your mindset and slowly makes you rethink about your narrow thinking. It makes you mature and you stop over reacting on small issues. You start having a broad vision, you start thinking for long term and temporary issues do not disturb you anymore. Also, you learn so many things from people of different nations. Steemit acts as a union of diverse places and help people learn each other's culture, perspective, lifestyle and thus helps us all grow together.
13. Steemit will bring forward a new you :-
Your hidden talents and abilities will find a way to display themselves through this platform. I started with poetry, then started writing articles. Then I uploaded my songs as well at times (I will do that more often but I have some plans before that) and now I also started writing fiction. When you get used to steemit you try to explore yourself and you start doing what you always wanted to. What's better then that ? Steemit gives you a platform for almost ANY TALENT. Steepshot is there for photographers, dsound for musicians, dtube for making videos about ANYTHING that you want to !
14. Help others change their world :-
Did you ever feel that blessed feeling which comes after you help someone? It's much much better then helping yourself !! If you think it's not true, then you haven't ever helped a person IN NEED !! The happiness and gratitude that you will find in their eyes will make you feel out of the world. Steemit gives you a chance to do the same through the POWER OF WORDS !! I don't need to describe the power a pen holds, do I ? We just need to use it wisely. (Though the pen is now digital and invisible :P)
I really love helping others and that's the main purpose of my writings !! Steemit will give you a chance to change other's life by every word you write. Yes many don't read but when I have to make someone understand about something, I just send them a link to one of my many months old articles. (Yes you can save yourself from arguments also this way. Though there is no guarantee of the other person NOT running away due to slapping an article on their face whenever they try to prove their point. LOL)
When I joined steemit, of course money was a concern but since always, I wanted a platform to write. If you read any piece written by me, there is no way it doesn't help you !! They are all designed this way !! I never write for formality ! And I really hope everyone wrote the same way but anyway, I will keep on doing my stuff letting others do theirs. So help others either by writing **as per your reader's interests/benefit OR vote for them. Don't vote any random person who don't deserve it ! Vote those whose content needs to be voted and whose content can make a difference in the world. There are many people struggling on steemit, many even putting efforts and time but only those people, whose content can help anybody deserves to be voted according to me !!
15. Improved grammar and vocabulary :-
This doesn't need an explanation. When you write a single word for the same expression every time, there will come a time when you would feel like that you should use a synonym instead. You will google and look for similar words which would thus improve your vocab. Also when you develop a reading habit you will have to search the meaning of those complex words thus adding to your vocabs again. Also reading and writing will both improve your grammar as well !!
