I Feel Blessed
Today, being 4th April, 2018 marks my 100 days in this platform of creativity, ingenuity, humanity, beauty and Zest - http://steemit.com
Specifically, I registered for steemit on the 17th day of January, 2018 and actually confirmed on Wednesday, 24th January, 2018
My steemit journey and testimonies cannot be completed without the mention of @liltom who introduced and convinced me of the need to be a part of the value-adding community.
For this ONE HUNDRED (100) DAYS, I have had my hurts, pains, smiles, gains, joys, but above all - I have been challenged to reach out for stardom. This post seeks to present to every reader the experiences, though some follow-ups and analysis of my 100 days will be coming afterward.
Briefly, let me share some tips that have helped me in this race thus far
1. Steemit is a Platform for Genuine People who wish to Contribute
In my course of trying to encourage some of my clients in MY CREATIVITY HUB on why they should join this platform, some persons are so naive in their thinking such that the first question they ask is WHAT DO I STAND TO GAIN? Whenever I meet such persons, I know they are not ready for this journey. In life when our sole is seeking for what to gain and not what to offer, then success is far from us. Even the Bible says "it is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20: 35).
The emphasis of @liltom when he told me was that I have something to offer- which is my talent in writing and playing with words. Thus, my mind was already made up that I have a platform where I can begin to make a global impact. Thank God, it's a dream come true because Steemit is becoming a world project.
My desire to contribute my quota to this system was so intense that I started posting chapters of my unpublished books here. It didn't matter to me. My joy was great anytime I had anyone to make comment on the post with response that the message was helpful. This is one of the tools that has given me a great feat on this platform in the past 100 days.
This same testimony is attributed to the start-up of my CREATIVITY HUB in Uyo in 2013. Before then, I was so concerned in adding value to what anybody tries to set-up. My joy knows no bound when such idea as I offered was esteemed and it eventually brought success.
As a passionate teacher that I am, I measure my successes on the level of development made by my students and trainees. This made me take a decision that whenever I have a new trainee, the payment can only be made after which the trainee has shown evidences of being taught and is indeed practicing.
(a) Testimony #1
Barely Fourteen (14) days ago, I was endeared to @Ejemai's blog due to te wonderful and insightful posts he makes. I learnt great lessons everyday and decided to pin his blog as a tab on my browser so I can access it without fail on a daily basis. I was happy each time my comment on his post will attract his reply with indications that he learnt from it. Little did I know that in Seven (7) days from then, I will be opened up to a contest where he promised to delegate 6,000 SP to 12 minnows in the steemit platform and was so magnanimous to include planktons like me as at the time of that post. I joined the contest. HERE IS THE LINK. The terms of the contest was simple: State reasons you think you should qualify for 500 SP.
What will I have presented if I didn't have anything to offer in the steemit platform. With that I recalled the helpful posts I made even as a newbie. Some of the the posts are as follows:
5 SBD DAILY FOR JUST 3 HOURS: New steemians MUST grow
EARN 3 SBDs DAILY WITH GOOD COMMENTS
10 RULES OF THUMB FOR NEW STEEMIANS - Part 1
To me, those posts are timeless posts which seek to add value to the steemit and the blockchain in general. My strong points here were that given a higher Steem Power, I'll be encouraged to do more.
Still about what I sought to contribute to add value to the steemit platform and the blockchain in general, I took a bold step to seek a way to promote steemit by declaring a 30% DISCOUNT FOR ALL MY CLIENTS WHO PAY WITH STEEM or SBD in my CREATIVITY HUB- Uyo. This was my little way of marketing steemit so as to compulsorily invite my clients to the platform. My next post will feature them.
These two among others, I think endeared my selection for the benevolent delegation of 500 SP courtesy of @ejemai. This single gesture has made my 100 days in steemit more unique and valuable. Indeed, it is not a coincidence, it's been in the Master Plan. You'll soon here about that in one of the follow-up posts.

(b) Testimony #2
I have been hearing of the name @surpassinggoogle when i joined steemit, yet, I never understood his level of contribution to the platform until about 14 days ago still during the uproar #deletefacebook #joinsteemit campaign. As I canvassed several tags, I met the #steemitisbeautiful tag where I saw @surpassinggoogle's post. I then followed him and later saw THIS POST authored by him about eight (8) days ago. From this post I had to canvass his blog to discover his achievements in the system such as the @teardrops @steemgigs @steem-untalented and the recent @ulog as well as categories #steemgig #steemgigs #teardrops #ulog #ulogs #untalented and so on. After a careful read through his post, I determined to so all my possible best to add value to the steem blockchain and someday become a witness.
With this, I was inspired to author the following posts:
#STEEMITISBEAUTIFUL: How I became a HAPPY WORKAHOLIC - 7 days old
STEEMIT IS BEAUTIFUL: Am cutting Edge in my writing skills - 6 days old
and my highest curated post so far:
#STEEMGIGS: (TIL(Today I Learned)) — Don't hoard knowledge - 4 days old
I was inspired that I have something tangible to offer on steemit and am doing my best to ensure that I will add value to the system. His philanthropic and selfless life here amazing and inspiring.
