RE: Don't ask for upvotes. Do these instead…
This is exactly the kind of novel attitude this community has which I love... How many other communities would users take time to really try and educate their community and bring them up to speed with important life lessons that will help them find success?
Seriously, instead of hating on spammers (often from different cultures and societies with different kinds of values), this post perfectly encapsulates the way our community is taking the patient approach, trying to bring everybody together and build a consensus...
This is really important message and one that needs to be amplified...
A Resteem for you for having a very human and personable story of your life to share with us! This adds value to our blockchain! xx
Thanks for resteeming.
It wasn’t a long time ago , that I also got pissed off by spammers. But I have a friend that operates an NGO that helps refugees and educated me in their culture and way of behavior. It really opened my mind.
Different people have different perspectives and we should respect the model of the world of each human being.
No worries! It actually all ties in with my latest article. I was writing about how the rewards-pool incentivizes reaching out with the community and trying to build on a culture of genuine wealth-creation... Everybody here has at least had one thousand dollar idea... If all of these ideas could be captured and held in one place, that would make that place the most dynamic and exciting center of activity in the world!
But how do we do this is the culture is divided and schizoid... If people have this idea that somehow Steem has this mana-from-Heaven value that comes out of nowhere...
That cannot work, there's nothing sustainable about that kind of model... People have to be incentivized to do their absolute best, to share something absolutely unique, pertinent, timely, helpful, informative... This has real value... This is how social media should functions.
But yeah, I specifically made reference to the fact that posts like yours are actually the norm on Steemit, not the exception... We all have a stake in educating each other, helping each other grow, and rewarding each other's absolute best behaviors and additions to this blockchain.
You can check it out here if you'd like to see my appraisal of this community and how absolutely delightfully it is all coming together! Warning, slightly starry-eyed and inspirational content!
Thanks for your participation and involvement in the chain!
Peace and love,

I also see Steemit as a huge social experiment. It's in our hands to make it work in our collective favor or we can screw it over and return to our facebook misery.

I have to say I just re-read this post and actually really love the tone! It's a great message and I'm glad I resteemed it :)
A+ for motivational character building speech! xx
