I will be getting back to my DM activities (steemit.chat, discord, facebook etc) again really soon!
I used to be so-so-so active especially in the DMs and this may be very much unknown, except to many steemians.
Even as a minnow, this was much the case! I already started to be part of many steemians' journey as well as part of the making of many initiatives running on steemit till date.
Normally, its those lowly blogs of mine and the sound it creates; and people would connect to the very person of me through these blogs and perceive or feel something and they would visit me in the DMs and i would answer.
Normally, they will come around to ask very simple yet tactical questions e.g how do i become like you; to which i would usually answer;
To be like me, you will have to stubbornly be awesomest version of you!
Even those times as minnow, i wasn't fretting away from giant questions. Many times, the questions many steemians had for me weren't simple questions like "how do i improve my steemit blog, what is SBD etc"; i don't know what they perceived or maybe i know but the questions where more tactical e.g "can you explain to me what "vision within dreams" by Ned Scott means" OR "Terry, i have this proposal in mind, can you please read it and tell me if i can go ahead with it on steemit or can you help me tweak it to befit the steemit community" etc. Then i would start to get simple whitepapers of projects and these lovely ones will want to know if their projects will work out here, based on my understanding of the steemit community etc
Every simple chat throughout the days even then, started to involve impromptu/on-the-spot decision-making and further indepth understanding of humans and life.
I was also settling disputes! Lovely steemians started to perceive also my disposition when it comes to humans; the high-road, impartiality etc and would come to discuss their next cause of action and together we would save relationships playfully.
Even when i was minnow, whenever people are feel tied and are inclined to pinpoint to themselves constantly as minnows or redfish etc i would say:
You are whale to me!
I was always keener on the substance of the human and the person of the human behind the steemian!
Hahaha as minnow, I used to curate and comment and watch and observe and by means of these simple interactions and i would spot talent or potential talent and reach out to them and we would go to the DMs and there were many who i reached out to, by this means.
My first steemit.chat community existed then, called "steemitisbeautiful" followed by Steem Lab, which was among the few steemit discord servers in existence. I used to get drained at the time; "hours of chat", where i would offer myself willingly to speak mostly about life (to answer questions like; "how do i succeed on steemit") because understanding life and humans fully and success will follow, steemit and beyond.
I had my first set of steemian mentees; special youths from India, Nepal and South Africa, Nigeria, Philippines, USA, Spain etc.
I learned even more about humans and life on steemit
I have done so much of life and understand it, to really amazing heights (infact this is one of my main gifts), that humans are just the same to me!
And on steemit, i learned even more; "humans are just the same!" Even the so-called world-elite are so-so-so human!
Everything there is to learn about humans (regardless of status or race etc) and human reaction, plays itself out on steemit! The world just puts invalid even unnecessary "classifications", when in reality, we are all just humans!
Yes, there are bound to be leaders etc but in reality, even a leader is only as good as his followers!
Thus, i am always interested in the person and the substance of the person and to me, that is where there is a standout, moreso than any skill or expertise; geek or illiterate, whale or minnow etc; but that's me!
Upon reaching steem for instance, i didn't need to read whitepapers! I tried instead, to perceive the substance of the persons of Ned and Dan and established it; then steem became my bus-stop.
So even in public chats (steemit communities) e.g on discord, we would end up in the DMs and in these DMs we would talk for hours and i will sift, to find the amazing things that you constitute and together we will celebrate this beauty; then if its about steemit success, we will tackle it in newer ways because i have come to established the very person of you.
"Flaws allowed!"
Hahaha, there is no doubt that i will celebrate you because i sift even the not-so-good to find good in it.
You see the spammer; i may see the passion!
You see that kid always being dumb by wearing their shoes incorrectly; i may see beautiful intelligence in that they keep doing the wrong thing correctly each time etc
I am your fan
Where i was headed in this post, all along, is here:
Tell me your goals, dreams, innovation, forgotten dreams, intentions, etc and i will tell you how to bring it on steem and bring it to life using steem/steemit, starting with that simple one-page blog of yours, then into full-blown life in the coming months or years.
Hahaha, i am not afraid, so air them out freely; relegate reservations; 'flaws allowed'.
See, even if you tell me, that your aim is to build two of the tallest skyscrapers and a train railway connecting both scrapers, i won't fret because i tell you, according to me; the solution to most even seemingly giant challenges, is in the first simplest obvious solution; however many times, we (even the so-called elites) tend to jump to the Nth most complicated solutions first e.g you want 100 million US dollars, have you attempted calling central bank to politely tell them to leave you the key to their vault on the weekend?
See; "with steem "dreams almost equals reality""
Did you know that in this very post and the comments-responses that may evolve below, i may have given out 100 million dollars?
Hahaha, so before jumping to the "central bank" solution, why not ransack this post fully first and pluck out an easy 100 million?
I implore your participation
Just below in the comments, speak all untalentedly! Enter into dream-world and speak to me of those dreams and unmet vision or goals. Pick up the forgotten ones and we will bring them back to life, here on steemit and by means of steem. Simply air them out in the comments and i will get back to you with my response telling you how to bring these aspirations, intentions, enterprise, innovations etc to life on steemit and to full-blown life on steem.
See; "with steem "dreams almost equals reality""
Assume money, expertise, status, nation, infrastructure, company, team etc is not a problem and just air out those dream, intentions, vision, enterprise, business, desires, goals, etc and let's see how we can begin them already starting now.
I should be the scared one now!
