Lovely^^ You said it better than I could. I will leave the business quotes to you and stick with what seems "groovy" to me. "Chewing on glass" does have a ring to it though. We've all been there before when every bite cuts the upper lip, tongue and the roof of our mouth. When we try to swallow it hurts even more. The future is the abyss and nothing is bright and there is no morning star in a start up company.

I commend the founders of Steemit and the first bloggers for their blood sweat and tears. Just one blogger starting out can find it a full time job here. Investing just a little time to make some comments and putting up a couple posts a day cost a lot for me but this nothing compared to other ventures I have made. Becoming a father is like chewing glass and sending the kids to school is like looking into the abyss. I invested a lot in a liberal education preparing for a career in law or politics then after two years changed to natural sciences learning research techniques in molecular Biology. Finally I became an English teacher investing my time and creativity with kids in Korea for 20 years. Even if I was making 500 dollars a day on Steemit I would never leave my teaching job. The investment I put into teaching credentials and the investment into the kids cannot be compared. We are all really an individual start up company. If not then what are we doing?
