Hi Steemit

This is a poem i got from a shrine i visited while in Japan during my Christmas holiday trip

The meaning is :

" A down-flowing stream still reflects the image of the highest peaks above. Let your heart, in a similar manner, be humble but reflect high ideals"

What impresses me with this poem is the time i got it.

I was in a family trip with my parents, cousin, my sister and her family. And i was most excited to brag about the gains i have made in Cryptocurrencies. It was the second day of the trip, so i had one day of a little bragging :)

And the next day,

"Hey, be Humble!!"

Sometimes it is hard not to brag about the gains you have made in 2017. As the start 2018 is looking even more impressive than 2017, we are most likely to get another year of crypto gains. The more gains we make, the more important and hard it is to be Humble with our gains.

I have put this poem on my computer desk as a reminder to be Humble with my gains.

To All crypto people

Aim high and be humble with your gains !!!

This is the shrine
