I've received a few comments off and on Steem regarding the inequality of this platform. The fact that the distribution of Steem Power is very skewed. This is undeniable and of course it does bring to the surface some major challenges for the newer users who are joining and starting from scratch.
The truth is that, I understand very much so the issue and sympathize with those who jump into the platform and start to participate of Steem right away. It's apparent that if you are not starting with a big account, if you are not someone who enjoys a certain level of influence, you will have to work really hard to make a difference. I can accept this seemingly negative fact, but also not be blind to the fact that life in many ways is very much the same, and maybe none of us should be too surprised.
What I'm trying to say basically is that like many things in life, success, growth and relevance is a battle uphill that not everyone is willing to work for. Yes, we not all start from the same point, but I'm sure almost everyone can name someone who started from an non-advantageous situation and through sheer work and dedication made a difference.
I will go even further with this thought at the risk of offending someone. Success only belongs to those who are hungry enough to chase after it, and if you are having thoughts of giving up, because this is too hard, because someone criticized you, because someone flagged you (certainly my case), then it means that maybe this venture is not for you.
There is no one way to grow on this platform, not one formula anyone could give you or sell you that would work every single time and for all users. This path is one of discovery. If you are brave enough to stick around through the learning process, through the painful mistakes, you will certainly make a difference. But, the choice is up to you.
