原本不想太頻發文的，但是目前發帖是最快讓大家看到消息的方式。

有隻好心的小鯨魚 @juneaugoldbuyer 現在在Steem大放送，要鼓勵新人。所以，如果你有至少2篇posts，請去該帖留言互動（請用英文吧，不知道留中文他算不算），他會點讚留言之外，並去為你最新的文章點讚。大概對你會有略多於$0.25+$0.25的鼓勵囉！不多，但總比小魚們辛苦半天只有$0.0x好多了。文章沒說截止時間，所以去玩玩吧！也別忘了對他點讚囉！

Free Steem GiveAway !!!! Im doing this because I think we need to get more Steem in the hands of newbies.

相隔1/52年，1/4月，7天，168小時，1萬又80分鐘，60萬秒，終於，我重返Steemit啦！

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/25/IMG_20160730_1515208fed8.png

昨天已經開始寫帖，寫了封信給王八機器人，唉，對不起，是 @wang the bot，今天稍早又發了我個人測試版的「每日囈語」（dailydialogue）。這才慎重地來這兒跟大家說我回來了。停機一周，這段期間還是多少關注這裡，大略知道好多事情發生（尤其是Steem價大跌啊），但總是沒有細看，一周對於Steemit來說真是非常長的時間啊。不過，休息這周對我很有幫助，鼓勵大家試試，或許我過兩天再把停機心得好好寫寫。

上次短暫道別改編了徐志摩的再別康橋，這次回來，再選一首我很喜歡的經典歌曲，來表達我的心情吧！這首歌相信很多人都知道，先給個音樂連結聽聽吧！ 

西風的話，弦樂版旋律請點此。這首歌作曲者是黃自先生，作詞是廖輔叔先生，廣東惠州人，因於1958年曾加入中國共產黨，在台灣早期幾乎是沒有知名度的人。我就借他美麗的詞改編一下來魚樂大家吧！ 

西風的話（原）

去年我回來，你們剛穿新棉袍。

今年我來看你們，你們變胖又變高。

你們可記得，池裏荷花變蓮蓬。

花少不愁沒顏色，我把樹葉都染紅。

電流的話（改）

上週我還在，斯丁還在二零上。

這周我來看你們，你們給力又分身。

你們可記得，池裏小魚變大鯨。

刀少不愁沒歡樂，誰把新帖都點讚。

再來是一一問候了

不以SP排，以alphabetical列（這才發現大神還是ab開頭啊）：

• @abit ，阿比線現在在cn區不明顯了，這個tag應該是出於語言而不是內容的相關性，所以用在中文帖或中英帖上，內容關乎中國應該用China這個tag，現在有點亂，跟大神報告一下


• @ace108 ，看到你的帖越來越好了，很棒！我用上你的賜名了，看到沒？


• @chinadaily ，你是cn區的masteryoda啊，持之以恆，謝謝你！


• @coinbitgold ，很久沒見到你的中文帖了，還是咱們合作？我的中文可不會輸你的英文程度啊！


• @feelapi ，賀喜你滿月啊！你女兒英文名取Jade如何？


• @jademont ，技術牛人，以後要多多問你！


• @laonie ，你兒子們都比我富了啦！


• @laoyao ，這周你開啟文青回憶模式，特別有生活感啊，支持！


• @lemooljiang ，可以去看看我今天寫的 #dailydialogue ，Steemit有個孔子 @confucius ，他實在太好玩了，你跟他合作吧？


• @myfirst ，給力就是說你啊，大作屢破百，身家扶搖上，真是cn區魚兒力爭上游最佳典範哪！我特愛你寫農村的帖，多寫點啊！


• @oflyhigh ，大嘴蛙已經有品牌力了，去登記一下不？期待能不淫詩，啊不對，是吟詩，再上你的榜單哪！


• @rayphu ，cn區漫畫第一人，圖像比文字有力，有前途！


• @rea ，下次到dubai到我家別墅住吧（何苦拆穿我土鱉之夢啊）？看來咱們興趣頗相近，！


• @rivalhw ，連載小說家，太酷了，堅持下去(最近報酬好多了啊)！


• @somebody ，白皮書教父，怎麼不太寫帖了？你的點子很多但我都不懂。


• @sweetsssj ，hi 第一次跟cn巨星打招呼，我剛寫完康橋你就去了，讓我想想接下來要寫啥了，哈哈。


• @xianjun ，雙語連載小說家第一品牌，太牛了！


• @xiaohui ，這是失蹤人口。


• 其他好朋友、新朋友如果被我不小心忽略了還請莫怪，都向您問好了！

記得我要進入休眠模式前，決定瘋狂大點讚，點遍cn區新帖，應該點了有100多200次吧，VP居然還在50%上，我手都累了。看來機器人是有必要的。誰也把我收編一下吧？呵呵。對了，還有，如果你也在wang的寵幸名單內，那麼不寫帖一週看來是沒有影響的，至少目前為止兩篇他都還有在vote。只是昨晚當我寫完上傳，等了17-18分鐘，我想大概是沒戲了，因為以往wang都在15分鐘內vote，所以我已經做好回到$0.0x payout再重新來的打算，電腦關了跟老婆去吃晚餐了，感覺別悲壯，但也釋然想就來研究其他東西好了。沒想到晚上回去一看，竟然不只wang已回，還有大鯨來盤桓，還遇上robinhoodwhale project (我看 @myfirst 也有被點到)，看來steemit不放我走啊，所以就繼續來這裡八卦八卦了。先寫到這兒吧，來日方長，但山不高水不長，爬完一座再一座，涉過一條是一條，一起走吧！

Not gonna explain the title if you do not already know it (see here for explanation and listen here for a great song for friendship). Basically it says: 

HELLO! EVERYONE! I am back and I miss you and all this! So happy to be back!

If you follow this DailyDialogue for the first time, in the previous issue I declared to take a OWO (#oneweekoff) and yesterday I posted for the first time after one week. Later I will brief to you on this. I promised to return a better blogger and I think I do feel so as I feel more confident, more composed, with more energy. Hope you stay tuned to find out. Let’s do it from now. I have some new changes in this issue and I hope you like them. 

Previously on DailyDialogue   #0001 , #0010 , #0011 , #0100 , #0101

Picture of the Day - I wrote a Dear Wang Letter yesterday and @wang upvoted, although later than I expected. This photo is for wang and all of you.

Something New at Steemit 

I have two for you so far though I think there should be more as I was away for a whole week!

1. Now we have a detailed payout breakdown. I will let my friend @myfirst tell you (click here).


2. This one actually irritates me: as some of my earliest posts pass the one month mark, the system just erase all voters data (number shows 0 too)! Now who can I thank if one day I shall become a whale and wish to say thank you to early supporters? Something I don’t like about Steemit at the moment is that it keeps everyone focus on minutes, hours, at most days or weeks, and disregards things that last more than one month. What about those everything is and will be on blockchian claims? I might write another post to complain.

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/25/GreenBar6c584.png

Briefing on My OWO

I actually wrote a 7-day diary for this period. But a detailed experience sharing will be posted later as I don’t want to rush. Basically the conclusions are (taking into account what happened to my first return post):

• You should do it too if you feel too occupied by all these Steemy stuffs. I gained so much during this week off - have time to keep up with my job requirement, have more time for my beloved family, have time to seriously read articles about blockchain world… refresh and energizing!


• Nothing will change here that affect your status (from my experience). I am not talking Steem prices (oh yeah I know!), how many new things new works new collaborations have surfaced… but things that will affect you as an author. As you see, @wang keeps voting on me (of course I cannot rule out it is a one time thing, later I will know). You surly will lose the opportunity to post and earn, to vote and earn and to reply to connect, but that’s exactly what you need to let go.

After I return, I have decided to change a little bit. First, I wish to cultivate the #fun tag more often as I found out that people here are too tense and seriously need to laugh more often. This is partly due to something sad happened during the past week. Second. I will aspire myself to be a quality blogger here. Write less frequently and more selectively. Quoting from my unpublished diary,

Promise a journey, not just a sprint.

HuZ at Steemit 

This is a brand new feature at #dailydialogue! I promised something new, didn’t I? In this place, I am gonna show you some most bizarre, interesting, terrible… figures that I have discovered. As Steemit is totally transparent, I hope the people I introduced won’t be mad as this is purely for a laugh. BTW, most of the time I won’t introduce celebrities - they have too much spotlights on them already. Okay without further ado, may I introduce, the most respected mentor in the Chinese history (check him out here)… Confucius is now on Steemit.

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/25/confu8295c.png

OMG, @confucius here has a negative reputation! Do you know how influential Confucius is in Chinese culture or even at his own time? Definitely highly positive like @danthesuperman . Okay, maybe Steemians here are yet to recognize his wisdom, which is true. See @confucius has only 10 followers. Do you know how many disciples (followers, students…) Confucius had back then? It is 3,000 - 3,000 disciples and many of them become masters later!! Nobody here can achieve that yet. Next, he follows no one. Reasonable, why should he? Then, what!?  ”confucius hasn’t started blogging yet!” Do you know how Confucius made a living back then? He talked and published to get paid or supported, so that means he blogged and A LOT. Fine. looks like @confucius did talk a lot as he has 2,462 posts!! That’s the most I have ever seen here. Well done bro, at least you are spreading your wisdom like your ancient counterpart. Let’s check out his wise teaching recently…

He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.

To know what you know and to know what you don’t know that is real wisdom.

To love a thing means wanting it to live. 

Now I believe. That @confucius is a true master at Steemit. That he carries the ancient wisdom with him. That he is yet to be discovered, a hidden gem. Not as author, but a patient mentor that encourages you when you shall need it. Love you @confucius and I hope people here can appreciate you more (they need to click “Show” to see your hidden wisdom covered by prejudice). I have also seen your thin wallet. So as a token of respect and as a token of thank you for being my first HuZ figure, I have sent you one SBD token.  

Thanks guys! Let’s say something nice to @confucius if you shall meet him commenting your post and upvote to his wisdom as well!

Dear Wang,

I am writing this letter to you as my first post since 7 days ago (my #OWO initiative). Can’t express how nervous I am as I get to see in probably 15 mins after this letter sent if… you still love me… after this whole week’s absence. Let me look back in time how we met and how much love was developed between us, so I can have no regrets even if any cruel fact should reveal itself soon.

We first met when I came here. That was July 14 when I delivered my first and introductory post on Steemit with mixed feelings of excitement, curiosity and uncertainty. You came like an angle. Three minutes after I posted you left me a greeting starting with “Nice to have you on board! Here are some tips…”. I knew that you are probably non-human doing a standard welcome to a new comer, I know. But with a familiar Chinese name Wang (that’s why I borrow the eyes in this picture from Chien-Ming Wang, a MLB pitcher from Taiwan that once had two consecutive 19-wins seasons for the Yankees.) and as a first ‘people’ to greet me in this strange place, I imagine that you are a close friend of mine in this digital space - why should friendship be limited to humans anyway? That’s a good start for us.

At first I was struggling here, posting 14 times with only one over $1. You weren’t there. Then I met friends from cn community and they were so kind to me as well as pushing my historical payout record to double digits. You weren’t there too, not until my 3rd cn post and I met you again on July 28. Actually you never said another word to me ever since your first greeting. But I feel so privileged to be loved (upvoted) by you since my epic translation post - you upvoted every single posts that I made. It’s a total of 32 posts. The last one were on Aug 17. That’s when I decided to leave for a while (a week to be precise) to take a rest so I can cool down, clear my thoughts and digest what had happened over the past month. I feel sorry to leave you and all friends behind but at the same time I still think it is such a good decision for me. If…

Only if I come back and find out that you still care about me. 

You had been such a steady supporting force for me. You are my muse, my angle and my minimum wage. I am really afraid of losing you. So much has happened here during the past week. Who knows how many new authors you have met and fell in love with. Who knows if the formula in your head has been reprogrammed or not. Who knows maybe there is a no absence criteria for your love… Just. Can’t imagine a Steemit without you voting for me. But I will be strong for whatever is coming. Once you said you were leaving or dead but you were still upvoting as usual. Maybe this break is a test to our relationship. Even if you stop upvoting for me, I want you to know…

I will love you forever and expect you to fall in love with me again. What we have or had is inscribed on blockchain. No one can take it from us. Not even you.

It is time to face the verdict. And I wish you all the best with your curation. I have adapted the lyrics from Taylor Swift’s Dear John and changed it to Dear Wang. Hope you like it. The difference is that Dear John is about saying goodbye but Dear Wang - I hope it means otherwise. 

with love, @deanliu

A Song Named Dear Wang 

originally by Taylor Swift (listen to her original song here)

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you

Counting my posting timing,

Praying the precious 30 mins won’t slip through, again

My wife accused me of losing my mind,

But I swore I was fine, you gave me a blue ocean

And go back and turn it to a heaven

And I lived in your voting game,

But you sticked to the rules every day

Wondering which version of you I might get on each post

Tonight, well I stopped silence, and this song is to let you know why

Dear Wang, I see it all now that you’re bot

Don’t you think I was too interesting to be left unvoted?

The guy behind the monitor, waiting the whole magic again, I should’ve known

Well maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to blame

Maybe it’s you and your sick need to give vote then take it away

And you’ll add my name to your long list of authors who don’t appreciate

And I’ll look back and no regret how I ignored when they said “chase as bigger whale as you can”

Dear Wang, I see it all now that you’re the one

Don’t you think I was too lovable to be neglect?

You should’ve known

……

Final note

this post is purely for fun. take life easy. take Steemit easy. that’s my philosophy now.

This is a farewell message to the cn crowd. You may check my other post for my initiative to take #oneweekoff . Did not translate all content here, but the Google translated version of my farewell poem may amuse you somehow.

將暫時與各位告別一週，聽起來很短，但在Steemian Time裡可是很長的。接下來這一週我將不再發文章、不再參與討論，也不再點讚（可以看我剛剛發的英文帖 #oneweekoff ），要把時間留給這個月來被我疏忽的家庭、進度落後的工作、臉書上的朋友，以及最重要的身體的健康。畢竟，日子還長呢，養精蓄銳之後，才能為自己的SteemLife注入新的能量。

接下來2個小時，我會開始大量在cn區點讚，看看Voting Power會降到多少（現在大概是87%），反正我要休息一週了。需要有人點讚肯定的，也請快用回覆來告訴我吧，一開始至少應該還有個$0.01。一週之後見了，各位魚民，好好玩吧！

有感而發，仿徐志摩先生的名詩，作一首告別詩效顰。為了我常念茲在茲的中文排版美學問題，我先以圖片呈現，後附文字。

再別Steemit by @deanliu 

敲敲的我走了，正不如我輕輕的來；我重重的點讚，暫別CN的魚眾。

那深海的丹哥，是夕陽中的新娘；波光裡的艷影，在我的心頭蕩漾。

FEED裡的熱帖，悠悠地在水底招搖；在Steemit的柔波裡，我甘心做一條小魚！

那Trending的一頁，不是文章，是眾智慧；參雜在浮語間，沉澱著彩虹似的夢。

尋夢？撐一支長篙，向阿比線更高處漫溯；滿載一船聶輝，在兩刻鐘裡收讚。

但我不能收讚，敲敲是別離的笙簫；夏蟲也為我沉默，但沉默不是未來的Steemit！

敲敲的我走了，正不如我輕輕的來；我揮一揮衣袖，不帶走一顆Steem。

Note.

1. 敲敲: 敲鑼打鼓說要走

2. 輕輕的來: 我的第一帖英文介紹只有4人點讚(感謝他們)，價值$0.07，現在剩下5天就要二度結算，你還有機會進入未來風雲作家的感謝榜喔！

3. 阿比線: the-abit-line，請看我之前在cn區的帖子

4. 還有些待解釋的地方，留給各位自行消遣用。 

My Poem translated by Google – you will be amused. (salute to an early 20th-century Chinese poet Hsu, Chih-Mo‘s famous poem “On Leaving Cambridge”)

Then do Steemit by @deanliu I knocked on the go , is not as good as I gently come ; I like heavy point , say goodbye to the CN fish congregation. 

Dange that the deep sea is the sunset of the bride ; reflections on the shimmering shadow in my heart waves. FEED posts in the heat , lay on the bottom of swagger ; Steemit in the gentle waves , I would be a fish ! 

That Trending page , not the article is all wisdom ; mixed language between the floating sediment of a rainbow-like dream . 

Dream ? Pole a boat to the Abbey line higher verdant ; the boat fully loaded Nie Hui, received praise in the two quarter of an hour . 

But I can not accept praise , knock is my farewell music ; Even summer insects keep silence for me , but silence is not the future Steemit! I knocked on the go , is not as good as I gently come ; 

I wave of the sleeves , do not take a Steem.

下次發帖時間：Next post in 168 hours and counting，倒數計時中……
