Steemit is mysterious ... my one-week wrap-up

Steemit is mysterious ... my one-week wrap-up


I have been here for one week. It’s kinda long in cybertime, but not so in my real life where I spend most of time working… Anyway, share some thoughts with you guys, maybe there are a lot (and obviously keep increasing) of new steemians out there who are like me - excited, thrilled, committed to write with very limited time, but at the same time confused, bewildered and sometimes a little bit frustrated… 


Don’t worry. This post, this wrap-up, is going to tell you…… 


That’s exactly what steemit is: mysterious. like life itself, like the crowd, like existence. Really?! so profound? ha! I don’t know. I am just a new comer. But just thought it would be good to share some thoughts so people like me can know that - You Are Not Alone!


Okay, I will just share two thoughts. First of all, you will get used to a lot of zeros, circles, rounds, nils… whatever you call it. Be positive, they are like smiley faces. You get them from serious posts, casual posts, serious relies, few word replies… all zero… O after O. sorry, O.O after O.O… If you are lucky, a 0.01 will make you smile all day!



Second of all. Not really so. Sometimes you do get lucky. The problem is you don’t know how to get lucky again. Like me. I seriously wrote my introduction with passion like this:


 A father from Taiwan, thinking … introducing myself a bit…


But it’s a 0.0. That’s fine. It’s a first time thing. I get it.


Then somehow I came across the idea of sharing my recent smoothie recipe. Just for fun as I really like the taste and can share with no one except my wife (she said it’s the best juice she ever had). It’s here (be careful, there is durian inside):


 Share my recent secret smoothie recipe - very simple super good but …


Amazingly. It’s payout is 10 dollar or so… which is unbelievable to me as I haven’t even got ANY reward yet and this post is so casual and not serious… 10 equals 0.01 * 1000. Yes! 1000 times the minimal reward. I of course was thrilled and encouraged to write more.. 


So I decided to introduce a really inspiring story I’ve heard recently and it really gets me think deep about how my life should be. It’s an amazing story by a Japanese young fellow. I typed every word by reorganizing the story from various sources… I thought this post should get a fair amount of attention, and of course some reasonable reward, though I indeed just hope to let more people know about it. here is the story:


 An incredibly inspiring story from a marvelous Japanese young man Yamada …


Well. So far, it is just an 5-vote and 0.48 dollar story. Sure, much better than 0.0 smiley face. But I just got confused. Which way should we go to know more about what the community wants?



But it all become clear after I read @johnsmith article:


Why the Steemwhales are upvoting Crap instead of Your Masterpiece - And why you should be Happy About it


Seriously, don’t worry about the payouts, let the big guys here worry. Have fun writing and sharing and good things will happen. Even if it doesn’t, you had fun anyway.
