Naturally, it took 7 months for a small plant that grows wildely on my stairs to fully grown into a beautiful plant with many flowers over it.

That is true, if you are not convince then check out the below post which I submitted 7months ago to contest of Hive account@kus-knee.

During these 7 month, I have placed the plant into a pot, took care of it with some manure and daily watering and seeing it grow day by day. Today, while looking at it I recall the small plant which started to grow from nowhere is blossoming completelly. I resemble it as growing a newbie into a full fledged Steemians on Steem ecosystem.

Once a newbie step into the vast Steem pond, he looks like a user in a wild isle, and no one to take care. Slowly they start to write content and started to show their talent and worth to the platform. Soon they get noticed by a whale. The whale has the ability to sow on Steem and noticing the talent, they pick and place the talented users into group of communities. These communities help the newbie with nourishing and polishing their talent further like manuring and watering of the plant. Once the newbie get accustomed to the whole new environment, they started to show sign of growth and slowly the blossom start flourishing on big Steem pond.

Overall it is just the matter of getting noticed and a helping hand that may put newbie into a whole new world with fresh life. I can relate this easily, as I feel I was like same. *I was a stranger over the Steem platform with no exposure about crypto universe untill Hive account@enginewitty put me up for the Hive account@thealliance and groomed under top guiding hand and help me sustain life till now. I met with many top class people over there with Gold & Silver heart, Hive account@snook , Hive account@saffisara, Hive account@katrina-ariel Hive account@nainaztengra Hive account@thekittygirl are few names ( there were many ) and of course Hive account@enginewitty though I could not match up with their rhythm but I remain active just watching their chit chat and feeling like being in a family.

I always suggest everyone to focus on three vital things on Steem Block chain.

Patience : Do not hurry up, just keep calm and hold your patience to enjoy really good time over here.
Persistence : Be regular and give your best. Irregular won't take you anywhere. Keep posting and give your best.
Community : Be part of a community, and help yourself with many like minded people all around. Living alone has no sense when we have so many people around.

The fully grown plant took me to my Steem early days , and I recalled every moment I had over here, with some bitter and sweet memory. I have spent 18 month now and still feel like I joined yesterday. There is so much to learn and explore on Steem. Just focus and keep walking.
