RE: My thoughts about our first week of the WOX Steemit Engagement challenge
I agree with you Jorge and I am glad that we decided to take this responsibility and try ourselves as a group of people with the same motivation. It is not only about making the users on Steemit to Artists, no, it is to let them maybe to discover the skills that were sleeping in them. We all know that every child like drawing, this is hte first what we do when we can hold a pen and see a paper, but this interest can disappear with time and if we let it can wake up and we sometimes get surprised with what we can reach.
Like anythign in this world it depends on motivation. LIke when I was about 12 y.o. math was hte subject that I was very weak and I did not like it. My math teacher was very good psychologist, she then concentrated on me, called me often to the board to do hte tasks and went through explaining. Aftrer a months I started to understand it and became very good algebra is my favourite subject now and I am still very grateful to this teacher who did not give me up and supported. Of course, the example has nothing to do with our blogging here, but who knows if our professional advise and support may change something in the life of those users. Will let them love drawing and even to do it with their children.
We are going to run it for at least a month and will see if there is any development happen, let us get surprised :)
I'm glad we agree. Among the people who participate, I can see (or intuit) that there are modest people and children who also participate. If for one of them this can be an opportunity to learn, receiving a critique of their artistic progress and even earning some money for their materials while they study seems fantastic to me.
We are living in a new era filled with possibilities that most of us don't realize yet.
Dreaming, it would be great to have a talent school in Steemit, with young people and children who seriously use the platform to learn and at the same time gain enough to meet their needs.
