For every child, learning to stand on his or her feet and walk is one of the great achievements in human development.

Some even told me they earned just some few cents for their introductory post. Their subsequent articles were no different. One of the pioneers of steemit in Ghana,

In all these, their persistence and desire to contribute their quota to make an impart did not let them quit. I urge all newbies including myself to draw inspirations from these and believe that your strive to make it on this platform will surely see the light of the day.
However, our desire to make it to the top will not materialize without commitment.
