RE: Into the win: Participation on Steem

in #steem6 years ago

So maybe it's down to the fear...

'What if the past stops repeating itself right now if I joined for the first time.' And how is that stronger than the fear of 'What if it doesn't?' ... Oh, I think This was in a previous discussion some months ago. Still, I'll leave it here.

I find it very hard to convince people to join. I try with good friends. Some of those people should have progressive thinking. Some of those friends organize an event at the end of this week and it's about 'The Future Before it Happened' or with that kind of meaning. How about that?

I am late (in relation to when they are planning this) and too early (in relation to how ready I am) to ... 'Show Them'.

Four people have followed me here so far, two are already inactive but their accounts are there. One, my fiancee... we lost her password. I still can't believe I haven't been careful enough to remember if or how I intended/tried to keep it for her. We have a string of words from the steeminvite service which won't work. Maybe replaced by another string on our request. Maybe it's lying around here somewhere but... but... anyway. Lesson learned. The account is so fresh that she can just start over again when she finds the time. And I can't stress enough how really busy she is. Enough that I wouldn't press/push harder.

The fourth one is new and active :) Yay!

Some of those I can't convince are even people who were into mining BTC in 2008. Or 2009? Got hacked and robbed, then got refunded and were quick to sell their BTC at less than $20. Or something like that.

The problem is we are quick to quit at the first failure. In general. Unless one has enough experience to know for real not to quit even at failure number 1000+

Do I?

Those that can fail often and learn from each to improve the next instance are those who have a process that eventually leads to success or mastery.

Yep, it sucks to lose the passwords I bet, which reminds me, to resave mine a few times more :) THose inactive accounts might come back later, and the new one might get a bullrun as a welcome :)
