Original announcement :[CONTEST: What does CCC mean to you? 3.43](https://steemit.com/steemexclusive/@team-ccc/contest-what-does-ccc-mean-to-you-3-43) by @team-ccc ![small.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR8TAbpmao42P2RRF5SHUj4JhnwAD5LpV2YWDc5JSKtVF/small.jpg) ## What does CCC mean to me? **Courage** to face any challenges that will be in the way to achieve my dream. I do not expect to have a shortcut to achieve my dreams or to think that everything will be an easy task. I dream of having cryptocurrency as my pension back up. If I can be successful in the world of cryptocurrency before the age of 45 I will be able to have an early pension. The world of crypto once is an alien world for me because, until the day a friend introduces it to me, I have never known of its existent. To be able to earn, trade and use it to cover for my short budget have been a blessing throughout these 3 years. Other than Steemit, I also have been exploring other crypto opportunities. Steemit has been my first encounter, my first step and the place I met wonderful people. I will never forget this platform as long as it exists and reachable. **Confident** to take a new step with precautions. In the world of crypto, I have promised myself that I would never use my salary to buy crypto. It is not because that I do not trust cryptocurrency. I am still considered a newbie in the crypto world. 3 years is not enough to gain experiences. Even after 3 years, there are still new things to me. The new token, new platform and the price of crypto are not static. Now it might seem expensive but I also have experienced the moment where it is only a few cents. Most of my earlier team that join in together with me have given up on crypto but I have my confidence that crypto will be my resolution in the future. I kept in mind that crypto is my long terms investment plan. It is not money that I invested but my energy and hope. I keep on writing story and my earning is still not much because I am not consistent. Even so, I can see the difference between earning 'zero' and now a few $. Not much compared to those who worked harder than me but it is proof that I need to keep my confidence in crypto. **Consistency** My inconsistency. There are times that I did not write anything for months and I notice that it affect my earnings a lot. In a platform where readers are the ones who decided that I got paid or not, consistency is one of the important things. It is not that I need to write a lot in a day but I will try to at least join a lot of contest every week. I thought that this is the least I can do even if my schedule is tight. I promise my friends that I will try my best and I will keep that promise as much as I can. Who are these friends of mine? I have written about them in my previous entry. One more person that I will never forget on this platform is @kenny-crane. His upvote has kept me going from the beginning of time. Even after I left for a while, he is still there and so are @steembasicincomes, @team-ccc(including members that still host contest) and @qurator. ## All of the above starts with engagement, patient, passion and the strength to on even if things are bad. I am inviting @marblely @gertu @olivia08 @myach *************************************************************************************** ![2018-03-02 08.55.28.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZULvj6xAeRRHQL1ZsfiJa2e1aTwdw3x3VosyRahNxEGn/2018-03-02%2008.55.28.png) ![blog banner.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaAAUHpKdPER3jV5dmuZ5YgpMjcDtjwtnwCCm7U9hHPob/blog%20banner.gif) ![RNFetchBlobTmp_ae8tqze70jjhabm72prxwt.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVZsrLUmzMmiHMUQ7Ma9m4sXeXD44iDD834tbtjepC7ys/RNFetchBlobTmp_ae8tqze70jjhabm72prxwt.jpg) ******************************************************************************************* This is an Invitation to join #ccc for [Guaranteed👍 Daily Income 💵 and Payout 💸 for Newbies (2.0) 🐟 🐜 🐛 in #ccc 👣 and Follow 👣 the Honor Code 🏅 - the Creed (Conditions and Limits Inside)](https://steemit.com/ccc/@freedomshift/guaranteed-daily-income-and-payout-for-newbies-2-0-in-ccc-and-follow-the-honor-code-the-creed-conditions-and-limits-inside) AND the [latest update]https://steemit.com/ccc/@freedomshift/an-update-v2-1-to-guaranteed-daily-income-and-payout-for-newbies-2-0-in-ccc-and-follow-the-honor-code-the-creed-conditions-and <<< please click to read.
