Over the six months I’ve been active on Steemit, I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon: although this is largely a social platform, I don’t know much about the majority of people that I’m following.
For example, everything personal that I know about , who is my favorite Steemian overall, I found out during the “one beer a day challenge” she took. Before that, all I knew about her was that she’s writing lovely psychology articles and always wholeheartedly answering comments.
Also, I know nothing personal about , who wrote my favorite series of Steemit articles – his mind-blowing musings about the future of AI and humanity.
I understand and respect that some of us prefer to remain private. However, I’m guessing that I don’t know much about many Steemians simply because they’ve published their introduceyourself articles ages ago, while I still wasn’t following them.
To solve this, I would like to take this opportunity to promote the usage of reintroduceyourself tag and invite the users who are active here for a long time to publish a “reintroducing myself” article.
Although I’m not here for very long, at the time that I’ve published my introduction I haven’t had 90% of the followers that I have today, so I’ll reintroduce myself too.
My name is Predrag Milošević and I’m a 30-year-old guy from Belgrade, Serbia.
I have graduated on Faculty of Organizational Sciences, worked as a Project Manager and/or Business Analyst in a couple of companies, and dumped my corporate career because I didn’t like spending 8-10 hours on work + 1-2 hours on commuting five times per week.
I really felt that I desperately need more time for myself and I’ve managed to create that time by switching from a corporate to a freelance career. I’ve managed to become a top-rated business plan consultant at Upwork, which allows me to have a nice life in my country by working just a couple of hours per day from home.
Big thanks to my ex-girlfriend and current best girl friend for introducing me to Upwork... and Steemit!
I spend most of my free time on dancing the Argentinian tango. Here’s an extract from my article about tango written months ago:
I needed months of persuasion to try out the Argentinian Tango because I thought that there is no way that I would like something like that, that dancing is "gay", and that I would be horrible at it. Now I become jittery whenever I don't tango for more than one day.
Social tango has nothing to do with what is displayed in the movies. Social tango is nonverbal communication, synchronization, and relationship between two persons, music, and other people around you. It doesn’t require you to wiggle or shake your butt, but it does require (or maybe it’s better to say “helps you develop”) openness, relaxation, awareness, sensitivity, creativity, and musicality.
What makes it special is the way it is danced. It is danced in a close embrace (hug) with a focus on feeling, leading, following, adjusting, and improvising with your partner instead of doing choreographed, memorized moves independently or with a light contact with your partner.
As an interesting side-note, before discovering tango, I was mostly listening to punk music and going to punk parties. Here's my pic from a punk concert:
I hope that this has brought me closer to my followers and, more importantly, I really hope that other people will follow this trend.
Isn't it about time that you write a "reintroducing myself" article? : )
Have a wonderful day, week, and life!
