As a human being we tend to seek for comfort in every endeavor we enter to. We need a support group like our family, friends, collegaues to name a few. Being able to share your thought, ideas and comments are a natural response to us, but we need to choose to where we would release that wisely. Choosing people as your core group here in steemit is not being anti social, but for you to have a concrete wall with good foundation for you to survive.
"Don't let anyone dictate what your next step will be, just weigh things are and do what you think your more comfortable and will benefit you the most."
We should understand that when you are starting up here in steemit we surely needed someone to teach us how things works here or the techniques. When starting we all should acquire more knowledge from experiences and from the community as well. We should try to follow those who are here first but we should know when to start being independent in terms of decision making or in things that you think will be better.
Start as a student and eventually become the leader.
Doing this is not a disrespect to the people who you learned from instead, we are really greatful to them, but its just a way of testing your skills and the knowledge, experimenting things because here in steemit it is a trial and error. The more error you have the more knowledge you acquire thus the more chance that you will become successful.
Considering yourself as an independent is a sign of growth. it means that youare mature enough to handle such hurdles that may come in your way. Being independent is good but we should always looked back to the people who helped us and at the same time we should also help those people who are just starting.
