RE: IFC Season 2 Round 19 - Assist IrvinesImages
I don't think we should stop doing the rounds like "Find more players," "help a beginner," and "find a sponsor," because all of those rounds are ultimately working for the betterment of ifc and for the steem community too.
Well you shouldn't see any issue with this quest either then as I stated in the original quest blog post that this contest wouldn't exist if it wasn't for my father. You could even say my father is the largest sponsor because not only did he give me life, but he is providing me with a place to live and he buys me food sometimes as well and if it wasn't for those things I almost certainly would not have time to run this contest and I definitely wouldn't have the time to go into so much detail in my responses to each entry if I did have the time to keep it going in some manner. He is a critical part of this whole equation and the IFC continuing until I can make enough money to support myself.
I read the article you linked and I'm in a similar boat, even though I've sold photography for a long time I've never really had an official job outside of a few odds and ends here and there which were short term and I just started my first sort of official job doing freelance writing and it's been a bit stressful and starting out slow but hopefully will pick up when I get more used to it and gain more experience. Good luck with your situation!
You're welcome for being understanding and patient. I want everyone to feel like their voice matters in this community and even if it was hard for me to read some of what you said initially, I think it's good for me to think about these kinds of things.
I want to make this contest work and in order to do that I need to genuinely listen to what everyone thinks, I may not always agree but I still need to listen and try to put myself in their shoes and you did have some good points as well even if I disagreed with a decent amount of it. So thank you as well for bringing your thoughts to my attention.. I think the IFC will be stronger because of it in the long run, and I myself will be as well for continuing to learn how to communicate and talk with people better.
Peace.
Makes sense. If he weren't here, ifc wouldn't have existed.
I'm currently travelling right now so I won't be able to write that comment entry, but I'll write one as soon as we return home.
About disagreements, I think it's better that way if we are honest even if it means potential arguments. My best friend and I have had a lot of disagreements too in the course of our friendship and some were so extreme that it took weeks for us to talk to each other again.
But in the end, we always come up and say sorry to each other because we know our friendship is worth so much more than our opinions, and that's the reason why we're so secure in our friendship.
I want to be able to make that sort of friendship with everyone I meet, but unfortunately, people don't usually like their opinions being challenged.
You, however, do listen even if you don't agree. That's what makes a good decision-maker and a good friend. I know you're much older than me but I never saw you that way. I've always seen you as someone equal to me, at least in terms of personality.
And if you think what you're doing is right, then I trust you with all my heart :)
Sorry for the late response I've been overwhelmed, and I noticed you responded earlier saying similar so I have a feeling you understand.
That's cool you and your friend have such a good relationship! And yeah.. I think it's important to be able to disagree and still be friends, unfortunately you're right in that so many people just can't handle it and see it as a personal attack or whatever.. But if you can get passed that and try to understand where the person is coming from then you can both hopefully grow!
Thanks for thinking I'm a good friend! I feel similar about you. :)Hopefully we can continue to be friends for a long time into the future. Cheers bud.
