Last Day of Photo Challenge – My 7-Day Story – Life & Steemit Strategy Explained
My Day 7 of a photo challenge has arrived, so it is nice & easy to post a photo and hi and bye and that’s all.
But I am not a photographer, so I don’t know how much my photos can mean to anyone just seeing them. So I want to tell a story.
I want to break these rules, because it is my post, my story, my life, my moments.
The reason I am here is because I appreciate this platform, the innovation it brings, the future it may hold and most of all the fact that most of the users here have a vision, decide to spend their time in offering value.
Value comes with originality, authenticity, honesty.
If we educate ourselves and others, we will become more and this can only be good.
I will start with posting my 7th day photo.
Reward – Ανταμοιβή
Reward is usually the outcome you expect when doing something good. Ever since we were children we would most probably listen “Eat all your food, or I will not let you go out and play” .. “Do your homework, and I will buy you a snack” or similar.
We have to get older to understand that even though motivation is nice, bribing is wrong. We should do what we enjoy, without thinking of reward. It is still nice if it comes, but it should not be the main goal.
Sometimes the reward is the ‘game’ itself.
Being here, writing and communicating is my reward on steemit.
Fight – Αγώνας
Almost nothing comes to our life without having to give a fight for it. (Well, except if we are inheriting our extremely rich uncle in Australia who has no other relatives, but us)
We need to make efforts to be born, struggle to learn how to walk & talk, strain to learn how to read, count and find ourselves in the process. (if ever : ))
If you are new on steemit reading this, this post about how to avoid frustration on steemit by @indigoocean might help or maybe my older post how to make the most out of steemit by me might help
Persistence – Επιμονή
Sometimes what we strive for does not seem to work in our favor. There are two chances. Either we are after something that we should not (because it is not for us or maybe we are chasing windmills that do not exist) or we follow a wrong path.
We should be persistent and consistent if we want to be successful at anything. Persistence can take us a long way.
In the words of Bruce Lee
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times." - Bruce Lee
Respect – Σεβασμός
Respect is a very powerful word maybe not so easily explained. It is mostly perceived by other people's actions. It brings positive feelings to know that we and our work is appreciated by others, our family, our teachers, our friends.
We need to appreciate to be appreciated. We need to earn respect and for that we need to respect ourselves & the others.
We should not forget to ..
"Give to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself."Thomas Paine
Innocence – Αθωότητα
Does innocence have an opposite? Guilt? Corruption? Perhaps many more, but in this case I wish to share the importance of keeping the child inside us alive. Our thoughts should be pure, clear, true. Remember that innocence is NOT ignorance.
“In any case, you must remember, my dearest, that the main strength of innocence is innocence itself. farewell.”
Imagination – Φαντασία
As per Albert Einstein’s Words
"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions"
Serenity – Ηρεμία
Sometimes we imagine too much.
Sometimes we try too much.
And we forget ourselves.
We forget to take some time and relax.
Let's close our eyes and transport ourselves to a favorite place or even better, put on our boots, remember they are made for walking and that’s just what they should do.
Visit your serene place, clear your head and be ready for the next adventure!
Remember that it is only a win-win situation if you believe it is.
