Hello my wonderful Stemians. Hope you were not expecting to meet your worst nightmare, i just wanted to throw in some humor before introducing myself. My name is Gabriel. The reason why it took me such a long time to introduce myself, is because of the addictive nature of steemit. I have spent most of my time interacting with great minds on this platform, through reading their posts, commenting and replying to their comments.Am highly pleased to be part of this wonderful community of great people and minds, who have really impacted my life as a whole throughout these two weeks i have been on the steemit platform. I have learnt a lot, from health care to crypto currencies, from sports to homestead, from finance to arts, etc.
I was introduced to this wonderful community by my colleague @kenhudoy, who gave me a lot of advice about this platform,emphasizing that it was a platform aimed at helping others become better people, even as they help you become a better person.As a newbie, truthfully i ignored this advice and i wanted to look for a way to make money fast. But after reading some posts and commenting on these posts and they replied me,i felt different. I felt like i was part of something big. I no longer had the 'get rich quick' mentality, i began to feel like i was connecting with people who were interested in issues that i was interested in. It was no longer just another website, but one where i began to learn and socialize.
Because of this blessing, I want to sincerely thank @ned and @dan for this product of hard work and dedication, giving us the opportunity to relate and communicate with each other. I also want to give a shout out to other established members such as @surpassinggoogle, @berniesanders, @ben, @dele-puppy, @noisy, @good-karma, etc.
I have so much more to say, but i will have to stop here and use my final words to thank some stemians who have been a source of companionship, inspiration, and encouragement to me in these two weeks of my steemit journey. @teamsteem the post you made with the topic 'Never lose sight of why you are posting' helped me lay a good foundation that has contined to help me in my steemit journey. @kenhudoy your post on 'using dirty fish tank or aquarium water to fertilize your plants' was a bank of information for me, @timcliff the content of your posts are always original and fresh. @jerrybanfield i have all your videos i could lay my hands on, they were of immense help to me during my first few days here.
