**When I first bought into STEEMIT about some months ago, I saw some post by other steemians then I asked myself that "Can I Cop Here" because I Never think I can . But as time goes on I started posting but to my surprise no upvote , no comment, and even I never earn single penny so I was so frustrated and I complain to @k-banti who was my fellow steemian because he is the one that introduce me to this platform I talk to him and said man I don't think I can continue here on steemit , he look at me and laugh he now brought out his mobile phone and login into his account and ask me to go through all his post i obeyed him and do so but while i was going through the post i saw some that doesn't have any upvote , no comment just like mine and also i saw with about 200 upvote , 69 comment and the earn was about $30.50 then i ask him that what happen to those post that doesn't have any upvote he replied that he posted it when he was still new just like me but he now said he was able to made it to the point where he has 200 upvote because he did not giveup when he doesn't have any upvote.** **Then he remind me about this fact that:** >We can’t grow, unless we are brave enough to keep on moving forward. ![achieve-1822503.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZrgevGqxop2JropY8aiZW7B5M83p4xk7tzKjoJXqR7b1/achieve-1822503.jpg) [src]( https://pixabay.com/en/achieve-woman-girl-jumping-running-1822503/) **There is not a single person on earth I’m sure, who has not struggled once or twice in their life. Even the most successful Entrepreneur has lost thousands if not millions of dollars. At times it becomes not apparent, because we only see the good times, we only their “today”. I personally know very successful businessmen who have endured some of the most difficult times imaginable, but due to their will and courage, managed to come out victors. But nowadays, we seem to be blind to the possibilities that could come, if only we stayed focus and directed most of our energy to achieving sensible goals.** **It's just that I could not begin to tell you how many times I’ve seen people give up all because they can't wait, its so common it's almost heartbreaking. Intelligent, capable people with noble goals, who all of the sudden throw in the towel and settle for so much less. To me it seems almost criminal, because I can recognize their true potential, and I know they won’t sit well with those choices, at least in the long run.** ![woman-446670.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWXrBRw43EDwRr7HhNZEgJTkcxjaj1AuMQDQB5Di9ADT1/woman-446670.jpg) [src](https://pixabay.com/en/woman-businesswoman-stairs-font-446670/) **I felt compelled to write this on my blog today, because I think it's enough to motivate , elevate our mindset or thinking. Also I know there are many who are feeling like the boat is sinking and there is nothing you can do to keep it floating. But this is not the case, at least not entirely. I won’t lie to anyone and say that everything I’ve tried to do in life has succeeded, of course not. But on everything that I succeed, whether it's in my career as an engineer or as a student, I succeed because I didn’t give up easily, because when it became really difficult, I was one of the few that didn’t quit.** **In conclusion, i would like to say this to all my fellow steemians once again that:** >### It's always dark before the dawn just like the tittle says. ### **...** **Thanks for visiting my blog** ## BEST REGARD ## **@Sannihorlas**
