My Steemit account was approved almost 3 days ago. And since then I have been actively engaging and contributing.
It’s fun, you know?
To contribute, connect, and engage is truly fun!
But you know what?
As usual, I was clueless to start with. I have been self-employed for over five years now.
When I started? I was clueless back then.
Writing was not natural to me. I had to learn it the hard way. And you know what? English is not my first or second language.
So when I started learning - you guessed it - I was clueless.
I never knew how to cook.
Yep.
Clueless there.
You know how this one ends, right?
Why am I saying this?
Every time I was clueless, I found a way out. It is not just me - but anyone can do it. And that’s because a wise man once told me something incredibly important.
I always remember these three words and wish to share with the community even if you already know this. What are these words?
Simple:
"Be Deadly Curious"
That's right. Just these three words. Feed it to your mind.
Always be deadly curious.
Like this cat:
Because Every time you are curious, you ask questions. And these questions lead to answers.
So when I joined Steem, I was curious.
→ Curious to know how it operates...
→ Curious to know what people think about it...
→ Curious to know the technology behind it...
→ Curious to know the value I could bring to the community...
And It Gets Better
This curiosity has led me to Google more about Steem, go back to the frontpage of Steemit.com and read articles to the point that my mind was ready to explode.
So much of information, man!
But you know what?
I am taking it all in.
And I am also asking silly questions. Where, you ask?
One Good Place Is Steemit.chat
Steemit.chat is a free chatting service for Steem users.
As an Indian, I was surprised to find an Indian channel there. I quickly became friends with its admin @firepower and learned there are over 7600 users.
With 99% active.
As you can see from the screenshot above, there are dedicated channels. One is to promote your post, other to talk anything in general. There are tonnes of channels there.
You can simply hang around.
Or ask silly questions like I did.
In fact, I was curious to know all about the system and asked @the-ego-is-you who was active on Steem Chat. He was truly helpful and answered everything.
The best part?
We went from crypto currency to relationship to God.
So if you have some free time, whether you are new to Steem or old, definitely check out Steem Chat. And, as always, remember those three words, each and every day:
Be Deadly Curious!
Cheers,
Sid
