Pay it Forward Curation Contest is where curators pick two authors with good quality articles and have reputation 55 or below. The curator then features those two articles into a single article and comments the link of that curation article into @pifc current week's contest post. In a nutshell, curators are promoting the two articles to others who may not have seen the articles yet. The contest is now on it 22nd week. Anyone can join so for those who are interested, click here for the details.
Thumbs up to @viking-ventures for covering @wolfhart as a judge for this week. Welcome to @tarazkp as the guest judge. And well wishes to @wolfhart. With your fighting and jolly spirit, I know you will come back kicking again.
I have seen several posts which seem so good but turned out to be the other way around. Either the post is a plagiarized content or the author is a spammer. This led me to have few checks especially when featuring articles in contest like #payitforward. One of those checks is to see if the account is of a real human being. I got to know this thru SteemPlus plugin which I installed on my laptop. It shows categories of accounts like Human, Spammer, Bot, and Pending. I think the last one means pending verification of the account. I haven’t explored if there is a mobile version of SteemPlus but at least it works well with the laptop.
My featured authors for this week are again coming from the introduction tag. Both of the articles are the first post of the respective authors.
@honghkd
The first one is Hong from Thailand who is a student taking English major. In her self introduction, she talked about her interests in arts like singing, playing the guitar and drawing but she was told by her mother to take English major instead. While she took it negatively at first, she made a rebound and came to realize that her mother only wishes her well. What I admire about this lady is the perspective that doing what you do not like is a self-improvement. She sees it as opportunity to learn and that is a very good way to stay positive.
@spivey
My second featured author is @spivey. He has the habit of refurbishing bicycles either from trash or from those who gave their bicycles up. In his first post about low cost bikes, he talked about how he revived a bicycle that was ready to be thrown away and another one that was just given up and not being used. He plans to share pieces of information he has about second hand bikes. Though he did not specifically mention, I thought he is into investing in such market which I think will be a good one for as long as safety is always taken into consideration as I reminded him on my comment.
