I had no idea when the first time I joined this platform. I knew nothing but I just try to understand how it worked by reading other Steemians' writings, exploring FAQ, and also by questioning to my friends so much. Next, I try to spend a couple of time to practice what I have learnt. Day by day, it seemed that I got an illumination at surfing on it. I feel excited every time I comment on someone's writing, even though there is a hope that the one whose writing I read will also read and comment on mine. However, it's not like what I want. I must reflect on myself then, it could be because of lacking quality of writing or may be, it's because of still lacking interaction with others. This is the fourth month for me and the strong relationship has not successfully built yet. I do appreciate for all Steemians who have ever upvoted, commented, and resteemed mine. I'll try to be more patient, more active, and more interactive in the future.
What I wanna share today is what I think it is gonna change a piece thing of my life. Yes, I surely state that my habit has changed since I joined Steemit. In my spare time, I usually spend two hours and more to interact with friends on Facebook. I read their statuses, like, and comment on them. I can say that I am pretty famous on Facebook. Sometimes, I watch funny videos, romantic films, and sing several songs on You Tube. But recently, most of my spare time is used for reading many updated articles and writing. Yes, I am really sure about it. If you ask me why, read this one (https://steemit.com/steemit/@city29/a-hope-in-steemit) for more detail.
Besides, the following quotes are always inspiring and motivating me to do such positive activities at my free time.
A capacity and taste for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. —Abraham Lincoln
Reading is an exercise in empathy; an exercise in walking in someone else’s shoes for a while. —Malorie Blackman
“I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.” — Anne Frank
“You can make anything by writing.” — C.S. Lewis
Reading and writing are good habits for improving our skills as well as educational capacity. However, watching movies and listening to our favorite songs are also good for reducing stress and boredom. So, I'll try to keep reading and writing as much as I can and sometimes I'll go back to my previous habit for enjoying my hobbies when I need, I guess.
Thanks for reading
Cheers,
