Our parents not believing in us or in steemit for that matter is something positive, and let me tell you why:
As always you can watch the video, read the blog or do both:
Generation Gap Alert
Okay so your parent may support you in some things, and not in other things. They might support you with almost anything they do, or they might disapprove of your whole life. Guess what: They grew up in completely different times than you did. Do you really expect my 56 year old mom that works as a nurse to start jumping around like a happy puppy when I told her I wouldn't continue law school because I was making piano lessons on something called DudeTube? Uhh, it's called YouTube mom...
She wasn't happy, yet now she is kind of going like: hmmmm maybe that wasn't such a bad idea.
And now I haven't even told her about steemit because guess what mom: I'm trying to build a new career writing blog posts on a blockchain that is called STEEM whilst earning cryptocurrency called SBD and SP that is not readily available at the grocery store because I first have to transfer it to an ethereum or litecoin account before... Nah I don't think she will be thrilled.
Your Parents Don't Believe in You.
Look no matter whether your parents support you or not. They will not be able to believe in you. At least, not as much as you might hope. Times have simply changed so much in the past 30 years that there is no way they can comprehend the thoughts that are going on in your mind, the brilliant and not so brilliant ideas, the vision for a future that, will occur when they are no longer with us. It doesn't matter if they love you, or believe that you can make it work, they can never believe in things like Steemit as much as we can, because it wasn't a part of their lives when they grew up. Therefore you should not care whether your parents believe the things you believe, whether they support your or not, you should just do whatever you feel is right.
Do Yo Thang
All I'm saying here is that, it is nice and can feel very safe if your parents believe in you, yet it is not relevant for your future success. It is great if your parents support you, they should they are your parents, yet if they don't, for whatever reason understand that it (a) doesn't influence your outcome and future (b) is most likely due to the fact they simply do not understand what is going on in your life and time of being on this earth.
