Before going on to write about my amazing adjustments I want to specially thank for his great efforts to help others grow and to actually being out the best and the talents in other people, I was please and am so grateful following him
, his post have been respectfully resourceful, I also want to thank
who had been my guide on the way, my student who is now my teacher on steemit,
is a great motivation to me being active in the steemit community.

Though to me am still a newbie and yet to understand fully all resources on steemit, but it gives me pleasure to express myself which I love to do alot, I am participating in this contest not because of any rewards though there may be but because of the reward of expressing myself.

Steemit has practically given strong and amazing adjustments to me, I remember when I first heard of steemit, I heard of it from someone who even didn't know anything about it, who want even registered in the community, but the boldness in which he spoke of it got my signed up because this fellow had spoken of how much money can be made from steemit, only sign up, and he said this particular one, 'as people begin to like your post you're making money', sure he was referring to upvotes. I signed up, did my first post, no one liked (upvoted) it, I was walking with no direction, with no purpose of adding to another person's life, I just wanted to make money, sure, I was discouraged and abandoned the account for 3months, before then I had also told some other people and my students like who signed up and decided to be active and learn about the community while I was inactive, so the months after
came by my house and told me how successful he had become in the community, his testimony fired me up and got me active, now not just to make money but to first of all be original and post things that will be resourceful and add to someone.
Since I came into steemit, meeting was a blessing to me, though I haven't been able to talk to him one on one, I pray I will someday, he became to me an example of what I want to be, help others grow, my sense of purpose and Charity has been more energized, I have been able to start placing others before me, what we do in this life is for others that's why I have made it a commitment that the first SBD I withdraw from the community, I will visit the orphanage home with it including the one I'll get from this post, giving back to life what it's given me, that's what I've learnt and one of my greatest adjustments.
I have come to believe that everyone had something to offer, this is great, now I can boldly express myself though I daily seek to develop myself and be better, be better so I can add greater value to others.
I hardly will successfully read a long post to the end that feel not educational, but since I discovered that everyone has something to offer I have made it a habit to read posts word for word, line for lines till the end, I've also come to understand that I actually get to learn something from those posts.
Now I wake up every morning thinking of what to post that will make someone say thank you for your post and at the same time express myself, steemit has given me that.
I have had some adjustments by diversifying without diverting, I decided to stick to trading and teaching Forex without doing anything else so I can be a master of my trade, but this community has thought me to diversify without diverting, I can now also teach Forex and also interact and learn new things daily without being distracted thereby giving me a larger and broader audience.
I have also adjusted my thinking of things and people, when I first signed up, my first post discouraged me and I therefore underrated this community and gave up on it, until helped me by his motivations and testimonies I got active again, I before didn't understand the platform so I understaffed it, I have learnt not to underrate anything or anyone instead I should study and understand them because everyone has something truly to offer.
I was a quite an unfriendly person even to my family, was too occupied and never gave space to let me be in people's heart, but after reading Terry's post talking about being present, I now have wonderful communication with friends and family knowing that being present in their heart means being present in their lives, I now always keep in touch as it has increased the bond of family and friends, thanks to .

Though it's just 9days since I got active in this community but I wake every morning knowing that as I get online am going to meet a family and also going to learn new things. Steemit had been resourceful, fun, enlightening and a place I come to express myself.
I want to thank and the #untalented family for initiating this contest, thank you for your effort to see others grow.
I still remain from Portharcourt, Nigeria.
