There are these worlds I have observed and realized they have one thing in common. There is one common language they speak. In fact, they belong to an Island called What is happening Now?. The habitants are what is happening now habitants and what they discuss is what is happening now.

Cocoa farmers have their farms kept under the care of others, who will regulate, work in the farm and harvest the ripe cocoa, remove the seeds from the pods and dry them. While all these activities are going on, the farmers will be at their homes in the cities waiting sometimes impatiently for their money. At times like these, the only question they ask is, what is happening now?
How amazingly it is to see the impatience of a child who plants or sows seeds. He is the first to go to the garden in the morning and the last to leave in the evening. The intermittent period from morning to evening is when the anthem 'what is happening now' is sang. Every visitation to the garden leads to excavating of the ground to see whether the sown seeds have germinated. The expectation is to see the seeds germinate the same day. Interestingly, all friends must hear of their effort and see for themselves so the farms get occupied by children almost of the same age group who speak the same 'language'.

While those who are matured on steemit and in cryptocurrencies are almost always thinking of how to invest into one crypto or the other or checking to see the rise in steem or other cryptos, newbies are constantly checking on their blogs, how much they have earned so far for the post. The funnier part lies frequently in checking of their wallets for payment. Haha.
The matured steemians and those into other cryptos are like the matured farmers and newbies are like the child who sows a seed and expects it to germinate that very fateful day. The truth is that, it won't happen because its against the law of process of germination. And the same to payment on steemit which won't happen before 7 days unless otherwise.
Before a child knows how to walk, he/she will rise to his feet but will fall, fall and fall upon every rise. It is not about he/she can't. It is about he can. It is about he will. But all boils down to time and process. Rising and falling is a learning process which brings about gaining control over the grounds.

We (newbies) are also like that child, on this platform. The journey can not be invariably smooth. Ups and downs shall appear. Valleys and hills shall be present. Crooked and straight ones shall manifest but all we need to do is to take a decision and fill every valley, level every hill, straighten every crooked road and finally be the success.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Lets therefore take solace in the words above that, every season comes forth with its apportioned time. It is a process and timing. We too shall grow and get there, may be not today but tomorrow but tomorrow could be a second.
