Hi guys,
I, @wonderss want to use this opportunity to wish you all an amazing weekend!
Yess! Firstly, I want to thank @surpassinggoogle for giving me/ newbies on this platform the priviledge to testify about the impact of steemit in our lifes since we started. Am glad to say that am super-excited to participate in this contest.
I joined steemit through @utomobong early this year, January 2018 and since then, it has been an amazing experience. I had overheard about this platform from the likes of @conquerorsampson @samstickkz @peewillz last year and never cared to know what it was all about until @utomobong spoke to me about it and I finally decided to give it a try. Thus, this far...I have no regrets being on this platform.
The most amazing feats and adjustments I have achieved from steemit are in their top 5:
1• Short Forms of writing abated
Before now, I have being a strong addict for social media platforms such as facebook, instagram, twitter etc but the reverse is the case now because steemit has taken over as the no.1. On facebook, I usually use short forms of writing in communicating with friends but since I joined steemit, I have being unconsciously tamed to write in full and it has helped me academically as my speed in writing especially in exams has increased. Before now, I would always write in exams with fear that I might drop a word in short form but with the constant visit on the steemit platform....it has completely changed and am grateful for that.
2• Improved Writing Skills and Study
Before now, I never imagined I could really write with good contents except writing songs and ofcourse, it wont be long. Steemit has made me develop my writing skills as I now write even before I realise I am doing what I usually dont do. There's a popular saying that:
'you cannot give what you dont have'
I read a lot...about everything readable and I believe in the process steemit is making me and has made me. Already, I have been writing and waiting to pour it all on this platform.
3• Time management
I have learnt to conserve time so I can have enough I can get to improve on my writing skills. It has also helped manage between academic work and being online. Sincerely, I cant recall when I last visited facebook...it will just be the whole day spent online. So, its either steemit or books. Time is best conserved that way for me and its an amazing adjustment.
4• Cryptocurrency
Joining steemit has being an eye opener to the various cryptocurrencies. Heard of them but didnt know much about them....the likes of Sbd's, bitcoins, altcoins etc. So far, I know more about Sbd's and still in learning for the rest.
5• Innovative
I have learnt to take everything that happens around me to thought and possibly into writing and thats the dream of a every young person. Bottomline, I am most creative, thoughtful...always thinking solution and adding value especially on this platform.
I cant end this without appreciating @surpassinggoogle for what he is doing....this contest and making me discover my inbuilt writing gift/ talent.
Looking forward to contributing to the growth of this platform with my amazing contents in a bit.
