Your advices are great, clear, straight forward and crisp and we need that because, Steemians should understand, everyone here came to make something and if anyone thinking that, in one moment Big Steemians will give their valuable upvotes or people will give their Steem and SBD then it will not happen because it's their asset and their earned or buy it. In the case which you mentioned about the requirement of 500 Steem, instead of coming like that, and if he would created an post about the situation with backing some evidence and seriousness of his situation, possibly he would get some upvotes, because we have tools now to write, so if anything is genuine then write it. At last i want to say that, if life is not easy and we complaint numerous things about life then how will be Steemit easy, which is inturn an aspect of life only. Don't just ask, produce your own opportunities, think Steemit as an treasure land, write, write, write and you don't know from which written investment you will get gems. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
