"To get to where you want to be from where you are, you must be willing to do what you have to do."
The greatest accomplishments do not necessarily start out as the best idea to everyone, it is just like an idea like every other, we simply have to push beyond borders and get everyone to see the game plan the way we intended it to be. The road is not always smooth, the road is not always perfect, but when we have the will of fire in us, nothing stops us from achieving our goals.
Enter the SIN2 movement
The toughest challenge we have ever faced as a movement did not come from lack of finance or thereabout, it came from the initial journey to cement in the minds and heart of everyone that SIN could be attributed to something good.
I remember an old movie I watched so many years ago titled "Stuart Little." In the movie, I recall when they said a little goes a long way. So many people believe that the little was actually a metaphor of such. In actuality, it was a reference to Stuart and that achievements do not necessarily come from the oldest person, the 'smartest' person or even therein.
Sometimes, the most remarkable achievements come from the people we least expect. What started as something small has now gone global. We are pushing beyond borders, growing bigger, aiming even higher and guess what? We are the Steem(it) in Nigeria movement.
So many people have asked why we made the event basically free, the truth is when money is the priority, quality absconds.
We seek to solve a major problem (or at least that was what I had in mind when I started this). I once read somewhere that the richest people in this world did not even actually seek out to be the richest, they simply provided solutions to the problems facing humanity or at least their immediate environment.
We looked at Africa, using Nigeria as a case study, we realized some things;
- Unemployment.
- No job security.
- Terrible pay and so many work hours.
- Technological retardation.
- Bad internet representation.
- High poverty rate.
All the points are but a few which we seek to solve. The aspect of bad internet representation stems from previous misrepresentation of the continent by a few, especially a few years back when there was the "African prince" debacle. However, the many cannot and should not be punished for the few.
We seek to correct and redefine that impression that the few Judases have given the world about us. Time to put those brilliant minds to great use.
As I pointed out in those highlighted points, now is not the time to start thinking of profit, it is the time to think about making revolutionary changes that will put this great nation on the map for good.
With a population running into hundreds of millions, we have not just great potentials but hundreds of millions of unexplored potentials. We don't just want to simply on-board users, we want to onboard investors and the investor mindset. A scenario where we don't have powerdown happy investors.
I have it on good authority that the blockchain sees the bigger picture, even when people try to make me see reasons why I should abandon steem, I only see reasons why steem has potentials to become the best.
I love steem, the SIN2 movement is for steem! We don't just want to simply on-board users like I earlier stated, we want to change the world. I see a world where steem is dominant and I have always believed in that dream.
