Introduction to Entering the Musa Gold Contest.

---

On this occasion, I, @sultan-aceh, would like to share my own story, written down in words. It's a true story I've never forgotten throughout my life with my beloved family in Aceh.

Turning words into tangible gifts! This isn't just a Steem user's dream, but it's also the deepest desire of those who participate in this Gold Story Writing Contest, a bridge between the online and real world.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the organizers of the Gold Contest, Musagold.com and Steemit.com, as well as to the main supporter of the WOX Community Admin @xpilar in this event, celebrating creativity, storytelling, and the eternal charm of gold, which only exists in Steem.

I hope that this true story, encapsulated in my journey on Steemit in 2017, will be a breakthrough for new Steemit users, encouraging them to remain active and creative in their lives wherever they are.

My respects to the jury in this competition are:
@adeljose @josevas217 @bambuka @inspiracion

---

Hopefully the Real Gold Story in the story that I experienced in the real world, becomes a motivation to all Steem users in Steemit and the community, that, the achievements that I have made, really need a process that we must accept throughout life to have become a reality, even though later I will not be a winner. it is a small thing that will not be a problem for me, but Steem users in Steemit have read the History of the Golden journey of a True Steem User from Aceh. @sultan-aceh

The Golden Story of My Personal Life and Family

---

Starting from Childhood and Adolescence

---

---

This is my mother and father's house. This house has been a silent witness to me, from my birth, and the same goes for my six siblings. But on June 8, 1977, I was born into the real world, cared for in a cradle, and crawled onto a table. Everything remains embodied in the frame of a life still adrift, unaware of the great ship that would slowly grow and sail into a human being who could be useful and devoted to my parents and everyone else.

Throughout my life's journey, I have always prioritized my goals and dreams. At the age of 11, I started selling ice cream around the village, helping my parents. That was my top priority, relentlessly, until I became an adult and completed all levels of school.

You can see a photo of my parents when I was a child. The entire picture is meant to be a memory and a glimpse into my childhood. This picture of me as a child is like a mountain of gold, invaluable to me and my children.

This childhood portrait is a memory I am very proud to keep to this day:

---

---

Until finally when I was an adult, my parents kept a photo of memories like unmelted gold. It turns out, I was given an education when I was young and had completed Kindergarten School.

---

---

Real evidence in sadness and happiness when writing and seeing this photo, this proves that our parents, mother and father, really love us when we are growing up,

---

Long story short, my childhood journey under the care of my parents has ended and I have started my adult journey, my life journey has begun, in my life journey, I always work to prioritize the gifts given to me, at the age of 11, I started working to help my parents, without stopping until I became an adult and finished junior high school.

---

---

At this time in 1994 to 1998 I began to live separately from my parents, and I chose a school that could make me able to work with welding machines, lathes, milling machines, screw machines, cleaning school gardens and others, my school was 70 kilometers from the city of Lhokseumawe, and I had to choose a boarding house around the school, I had to work extra outside of school hours, washing dishes in the school canteen, working in a workshop outside of school hours on Saturdays and Sundays, sometimes looking for wood to sell to red brick kilns. so that I could get money to pay for boarding and school fees, without having to burden my parents, who at that time were approaching old age.

---

---

Hard work doesn't bring quick results, but rather creates a lifetime of memories that we can use as a measure of future success. Every measured and certain step brings a smile of remembrance to our success.

I finally graduated from the Industrial Technology Vocational High School in Bireun City in 1998.

---

---

I'm good at taking care of myself, but on the other hand, even though I'm far away from my parents, I was also trained to be independent by a teacher named Mr. Imran and a woman, my adoptive mother. They always gave me advice, telling me that if I wanted to succeed, I had to do good, even though sometimes, goodness was repaid with evil in the real world.

My adoptive mother has now passed away from stage 3 cancer. We could only pray, even though in the end, my adoptive mother had to leave us in the real world and go to heaven.

The Aceh Conflict "The Civil War between Aceh and Indonesia" is Now Over

---

When conflict strikes, entire communities are in disarray, and several buildings are burned. A city that was once safe suddenly becomes a place of terror. Some choose to stay home. The wheels of government come to a standstill, and the desire to live a more decent life becomes a mere dream.

That's why I'm personally very tired of hearing about arguments, wars, or causing trouble. Likewise, on Steemit, I prefer silence to arguing with people I've never met. The bottom line is, it's better to smile than to fight.

Long story short, the Aceh tsunami changed everything. Although Aceh was one of the cities affected by the tsunami, the tsunami spearheaded peace efforts between Aceh and the Indonesian government.

Long story short, the Indonesian government, through the Helsinki peace agreement, agreed to grant the Acehnese people their rights, both from agricultural products and other sources, instead of simply exploiting Aceh's natural resources as before.

Long story short, peace has been achieved, and now there is peace.

Migrating to Jakarta and returning to Aceh

---

It started when I returned from Jakarta to my office on Jalan MT. Haryono, hoping for a career in a big city. It turns out that money can influence one's progress, and rank and position can hinder one from advancing and developing, and from thinking about future advancement.

As my days away from home began, my thoughts began to wander. My food supply was dwindling, and my savings, which normally required three meals a day, had to be reduced to just one.

The clothes and contents of my room were all I could see around me. My cell phone rang, and my wife and children constantly asked when I should allocate money for their expenses. Without further ado, all I could think about was getting home quickly and seeing my family in Aceh. With minimal expenses, I immediately packed my belongings and clothes and headed straight to the airport. Here are the moments of my return to Aceh.

---

---

Arrived in Aceh in 2017

---

Menjelang kepulangan saya, Saat itu, saya bisa tersenyum, karena sekembalinya saya menuju ke rumah, saya bisa bertemu keluarga di Aceh. Di dalam pesawat, saya hanya terdiam dan terdiam seribu kata.

After arriving in Aceh, I missed my wife and children, who had been waiting for me to return.

Situation After Three Years in the Acehnese Village
Days, weeks, and months passed, and problem after problem arose in my family's journey. The problem was how to supplement my income to support my family and pay for my children's schooling. As time went by, year after year passed, and in 2017, my hair began to grow long.

At that moment, my thoughts began to spiral. My friends kept disappearing, and my debts piled up at the coffee shop. If I hadn't been scammed after helping others, I wouldn't be in the situation I was in now. Finally, I decided to spend my time at a coffee shop in Lhokseumawe called "Syarif Delima."

Desperation began to set in. What should I do to support my family? Sometimes I didn't go home, always spending my time looking for additional work, hoping to find one soon. I kept thinking and thinking.

I tried to play a role on YouTube, but the videos I posted received no views or subscribers. despair even on the journey in the month that kept changing dates, despair had begun to enter my body and soul at that time.

---

Steemit Introduction August 2017

---

At the "Syarif Delima" coffee shop, all the memories were engraved, the joys and sorrows, until I didn't go home for days. Time continued to change, day became night, night became morning, until finally, July 2017. I sat there alone for almost a year. By chance, I bumped into someone with the account @sipildanarsitek. He kindly offered me a Steemit account, explaining that posting pictures could make money.

Although that wasn't the case, I was already confident and continued posting daily, sometimes 6 or 7 posts per day, sometimes earning $0.000 and sometimes $0.21 per post. I rarely paid attention to it, continuing to pursue anything I could photograph. Although there were occasional "Cat" Contests, I still knew nothing about steemit.com.

By taking the time to read and keep reading, I finally understood that the content of my posts must be original and that I use relevant hashtags. From there, I gradually changed the images and content of my posts.

In August 2017, my account was created, and now it's 95 months old and has a reputation of 80, having created a total of 28,195 posts. I post almost every day, covering various criteria and types.

One night, I posted about birds. It turned out my post was noticed by @xpilar. He asked about the bird image. And that's when I was discovered and constantly monitored by @xpilar.

By re-steeming and commenting kindly, we always talked in the comments section, not on Discord, and then we continued the conversation via email, eventually leading to Steemchat and Discord.

---

In Stemit December 2017

---

As time goes by, I always follow and manage contests called fish contests:

---

---

Without realizing it, my time with @xpilar has reached the end of 2017, December 2018 to be precise. These words still linger in my heart, still smiling as I write this post. Through a contest hosted by @xpilar, at that time, I continued to strive to collect Steem, SBD, read, and learn to write, all things that could be useful, fueling my spirit to never give up, in order to achieve success and big dreams in the world of Steemit.

Throughout everything I've been through until now, I continue to prepare quality posts such as macro, nature, travel, and social assistance, tirelessly. And my body and soul have truly become part of the big Steem family.

During my free time, until one morning, I was taught by @xpilar to save 25% of my savings in my wallet to be converted into Steem Power in my own account, to increase my SP. And I did so without the slightest objection. Sure enough, my SP increased.

even though on that trip I used my cellphone, I sold some cellphones to pay for coffee, and after I had the money, I redeemed them at the pawnshop, that's how faithful I was when I did it, without anyone knowing, without realizing it, the burden had started to lessen, I was able to balance playing Steemit with working in the world, in Steemit my only friend is @xpilar, who can align my thoughts, emotions, feelings, which concern the heart.

---

Gift From @Xpilar

---

At that time, I was an Acehnese citizen and a Norwegian citizen @xpilar, indeed it had become the subject of attention of Acehnese steemians, until one morning, I don't know what dream @xpilar had, it turned out that I was given a gift by @xpilar, amounting to $ 267,138 SBD, and that gift, my soul and mind trembled, what did @xpilar do, it turned out that my togetherness with him, I was given a gift by him. indeed I was very happy at that time, but on the other hand, he must have a family and have problems like what I experienced, so, happily, the gift, I returned it to the @xpilar, and when returning it, I only left a message in the memo section, I told him to keep it for his old age.

The Journey of Friendship on Steemit Towards Golden Reality

---

In December 2017, I had a project lined up for construction, but it hadn't materialized: building a house for my family. I was very sad at the time. I'm skilled at building houses, but after falling from a height while constructing this house, I injured or pinched several nerves in my lower back. So, the construction had to be continued by another builder, who paid me a fee.

After undergoing traditional medicine and massaging my back, the pain subsided and I recovered.

---

---

Without realizing it, it turned out that my dream came true right on New Year's Eve, January 1, 2018, @xpilar asked what my dream was, and the answer was yes, there was a house built from #Steem and #Sbd without any power outages, I was able to build a house thanks to savings in a swallow and thanks to the extraordinary support from the good intentions of steemit users in 2016 as the spearhead, supported by steemit users, steemit seniors, and full support from people who are always friendly to anyone on the steem-steemit blockchain, which is none other than @xpilar

Memories of building the Golden House from Steem 7 years ago

---

---

I never get tired of repeating the Golden Reality that I experienced in my heart and soul, if you look at the house above,
It is very impossible for the reality of building a house to be completed, thanks to the prayers of my wife, my children, prayers from friends, prayers from people we once loved, and prayers from people who are always loyal friends with anyone in Steemit, then, Allah SWT gave a miracle from the heart, mind and conscience of a person from Norway supported by the @xpilar family, from the intention of his heart and hands the golden house from Steem, can be completed until I can occupy my beloved family in the real world,

---

---

that fact, engraved on the night of January 1, 2018, @xpilar approved and fully supported the construction of my house in Aceh, so, at that time I and @xpilar made a surprise, without telling anyone about the continuation of the construction of this Golden House from Steem, to get an extraordinary surprise from all steemit users, because, this house is the first house that is beautifully engraved in a gold wrapper, in the history of steemit until 2025, the Golden House built using steem and sbd, as well as massive support that gives votes. $344.05, until the building is completed. This question came from the heart of @xpilar, who asked, "What are my goals for 2018?" I answered, "To accumulate Steem and SBD to build a Golden House for my family." A few hours later, @xpilar replied, "I will fully support the votes and construction costs 100%. So, right then and there, after reading @xpilar's answer, I immediately closed my laptop and ran home. With a heart filled with joy and sadness, I immediately shared this happy news with my wife and children at home in Simpang Kramat Village.

For a week, I purchased all the materials and building supplies to build the house. I continued with my daily activities, creating quality posts and recruiting new users. Although after joining, those new users disappeared, friends who already knew me kept looking for me because I wanted to join @xpilar at that time. So, even though house is under construction, my post place is still there, as below:

---

---

Since the beginning of this Steemit house, I've devoted my entire body and soul to staying on steemit.com. Not just surfing and posting, but also engaging in social activities, community service, explaining Steemit, finding new users, and recruiting members. But nothing I do compares to the Golden House I receive, including the support I receive for every post and contest. Whatever it is, I'm still indebted to Steemit. That's why I'm still here and making history through the MusaGold.com Contest.

Now that everything has been gradually completed, my love and loyalty have been expressed by creating a Steemit logo on the 1.5-meter inner wall of my house, as shown below:

---

---

After I moved to my house, I started a new life, I bought more equipment for my child to sleep, I bought everything with Steem and Sbd, so, Steemit has made a decent place to live for me and my family, can pay for my child's school fees and raise my children until now in 2025 still with Steem at steemit.com.

---

---

After my dream came true, everything went well and perfectly all this time with @xpilar, because our age was getting older, we both often didn't sleep either day or night, so, at that time, I was the one who controlled some contestants during the day and when I was sleeping. , then, the contestants on steemit, @xpilar was in control, that's the journey we went through while time continued to spin. so, it's not surprising, until 2025, xpilar and I rarely slept day and night.

My Hopes and Dreams Before I Die

---

Indeed, my hopes and dreams have been granted by the grace of God Almighty, directed from the good intentions and heart of someone @xpilar and his team as well as all Steem users. Many of my dreams have come true, I still have golden hopes and my last dream before I die is, I really want to meet @xpilar first, and followed by other Steem users like dobartim, and all Steem users. This is something that cannot be exchanged for any Gold and no matter how much Gold I get, this is my promise to myself, even though later @xpilar does not want to meet me, after I save a lot of Gold and Ung, this is simply me will look for @xpilar's whereabouts.

even though 5 minutes after shaking hands, I am willing to return to Aceh, later, I will tell everything in the next history in the following year which will be a few months away towards 2026, so I hope, after losing my good friend @reflektor has gone to heaven, I will not lose anymore people I know and have supported me all this time on Steemit, hopefully, throughout the year 2025, @xpilar, team, all Steem users, will always be under the protection of God Almighty, who is given a long life, good health, and always healthy with family wherever they are. "Amen"

WOX Community - LOCAL Aceh Team

---

---

The WOX community was formed by @xpilar on June 7, 2020, at 4:03:21 AM. I was immediately selected as a Moderator there. Although I admit there are still many shortcomings, @xpilar continues to provide new breakthroughs.

To realize this real-world connection, I created the @aceh-team account as a local community account. Users on steemit.com will be connected to real users, created directly by @xpilar on November 8, 2020, at 4:46:51 PM.

You can see that life is like gold, slowly melted, shaped, and used for the benefit of the community. We welcome everyone, young and old, and we also embrace Steem users. We cultivate a mindset that photography in the forest is like photography in the present, to produce golden seeds in the form of Steem in the Steem blockchain pool.

It's a matter of intelligence or incompetence. I believe that no matter how difficult life may be, communicating with friends can yield gold in this internet-enabled era. Through the @aceh-team account, born from the WOX Community, many have developed brilliant golden ideas, fostering a brainware mindset to utilize the internet, software, and hardware.

Let's take a look at the reality of the golden events we've witnessed with real-life individuals, @sultan-aceh, below:

The GOLDEN CHILD account of the nWOX Community @aceh-team, which is a child of the large community account, namely the World Of Xpilar Community, has also made golden historical memories during its time on steemit.com a reality, such as,

WOX Community through the Aceh Local Community-Team

---

Within the WOX Community, through the Aceh-Team Local Community, my friends and I also have our own memories of running contests. The contests I ran were perfect, the memories are beautiful, but running them presented an extraordinary challenge for me, as a Steem-Steemit Supporter. However, I still had to maintain it through the WOX Community, of course, so that the votes I received could be shared with friends, for coffee, snacks, and when tired of looking for photos together—all of these have become memories, just needing to be repeated another time.

Although individual members left for various reasons, we continued running contests in the WOX community, such as:

Gold Level Macro Photography Journey

---

---

As you can see, my journey of gold-level photography through the Marophotography lens that I have, was able to carve out my togetherness with WOX community users, while learning together in the Aceh forest. The purpose of this review, besides testing Musa-Gold, is to republish it so that Steem users can learn about the journey of someone before and after becoming a WOX Community Moderator. I'm still here, and none of them have moved to other communities.

What this means is, I simply want other users to develop, using their own identities, personal expertise, skills, and creativity. Therefore, the WOX Community will not hesitate to support and accept other users with various expertise, and establish itself as a neutral community mentor to find solutions for Steem users to become Moderators in other communities... remember this with a smile, okay?

That's just the overall picture. It's not my desire to show off my photography prowess, but rather to showcase the togetherness that is the result of all my past photographic work. Therefore, my dreams and aspirations for the future of providing photographic insights to Steemit users in the real world should be realized in the future. But you, Steem users, will have to wait for me to collect 200,000 SP in the future, okay? Definitely....because this account doesn't have the term POWER DOWN anymore...going forward and moving forward.

The final conclusion in the golden soul in my heart

---

From the beginning of the story to the end, you've seen and read. If you want to have a golden soul and be able to make a difference in others, don't just wait, but do it now to make it a reality. Thus, thanks to your good deeds, you will surely receive support. Praise be to God, prayers, and mutual support, through steemit.com.

With the guidance and direction so far, I simply want to carve out the footprints left by the time I've written this story and this post, which has truly changed my life. Never regret if our lives aren't better before, but time will lead you if we patiently live for a long future.

Hopefully, through this Musa Gold contest, steemit.com will be a loyal, equal partner in the Steemit community, the WOX community, and the Steem community, and make it a reality in the future through this contest.

That's all I can say. I hope that new and existing Steemit users will continue to improve the quality of our relationships by providing support, even if it's small. So that even small Steem users can increase their Steem Power in their respective accounts.

Special thanks to the Musa Gold Contest Implementation Team, the judging panel, the Steemit Team, all Steemit Witnesses, Steem Users, and Community Users who have read and commented on this post. May you and your families always be in good health and have a long life with your families wherever you are. Amen.

---

---

Steem is part of a collection of gold with my friends, my life and my family, may we always be healthy together, until we can shake hands. Wait for me in your country and city
