You can’t do much carpentry with your bare hands and you can’t do much thinking with your bare brain - Bo Dahlbom



Steemit is a platform that has helped so many people become creative. I personally I'm a project of so many steemians who wanted me to grow.

My journey on steemit has been very interesting, meeting people who took me as their project work. As a new steemian, I always wanted to learn how to write well so I visited blogs of notable steemit veterans of which I started to learn how to write.
Soon I was opportune to meet with @fisteganos who thought me what I needed to know about writing. I became a laboratory rat for the project @onequality and I'm really glad I was and I'm still a part of the project.

Like a Japanese proverb says "Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher". I always say that I'm a product of continuous mentoring and believe me I speak the truth. Writing alone wasn't enough, I needed to discover myself and this became possible with the help of @surpassinggoogle. I became his gig project even before I heard of #steemgigs

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants - Isaac Newton

Also, I have learnt a lot from @donkeypong, @hanshotfirst and so many other great steemian directly or indirectly.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

“If you wait until you can do everything for everybody, instead of something for somebody, you’ll end up doing nothing for nobody.” - Malcom Bane

In my own little way, I want to start giving back to the community.

STEEMIT VIRUS CONTEST

I love creativity and I cherish creative minds. The steemit virus came into existence through creative thinking and it was meant to help steemians grow.

There are good posts that leave the new tab untouched because they were not noticed and I have decided to reward good writers in my own little way.

Do Not forget

great initiative @gbenga
fully supporting you on this with a well deserved upvote
keep it up and thanks for making nija proud...

I would think this is much more a contest than a steemgig. It's getting harder and harder to find real service offers and requests.
