Hello parishioners of the and apostles of the church. After watching the welcoming post of the
, I decided to sit down and think about how it relates to me. In life, they say "change is constant". Looking at the video "who moved my cheese", I can relate so well as a student.
After high school, I decided to further my education as a student and so I opted to take up a course in college. I started a programme in college last year after failing the entrance examinations for two consecutives years. I had a very close friend and got admission into the program together. Times are hard in the country and money is scarse and so my friend and I decided to do menial jobs to make ends meet. So we decided take up a part time job that pays us 4$ every day and for a short period of time,we were comfortable as we have a revenue to at least pay for our books. On the bad side, the job was stressful and time consuming. I decided to look for a less stressful job which pays even if it is as little as our present job and then I got to hear about steemi which pays even more with less work.
As soon as I got my first payout, I was excited and I told my friend it but to my surprise he did not sign up. He gave a reason that it is a ponzi scheme and that it will "crash" very soon. I tried to explain to him that Steemit is not a ponzi but he was adamant and decided not to join the platform. My friend kept on with the stressful job that is taking his time and energy and its affecting his grades presently.
Significance of My Story:
From the story, you can see that my own cheese which is the new cheese is steemit which is a less stressful job but the old cheese is $4 a day from 6pm to 12am job my friend is stuck with. My friend does not want to read the handwriting on the wall which is cryptocurrency.
