A few days ago, I was with one of my teacher at a dining hall in Pakistan. A homeless who polishes the shoes came and asked for money. I told the boy that my shoes are already polished and gave him 10 Pak Rupees but my teacher asked the boy to polish my shoes again. After the boy went, I asked my teacher why you asked to polish my shoes even though my shoes were already polished. My teacher, " Son, if you give him the lust of earning by begging and by showing himself poor, he would never ever work hard in his life. Better to ask him to polish the shoes every time he comes because the polishing would give him the feeling that he is earning through hard work and ultimately this will transfer to his personality when he is older".

This is a great point and story! I started my Steemit journey making a penny per post, if that. But through consistency of work, I managed to draw the attention of the big whales, who then brought me to where I am now.
Thank you so much for the motivation. I am a beginner and i will follow your footsteps to become successful for steemit.com
