You can’t do much carpentry with your bare hands and you can’t do much thinking with your bare brain - Bo Dahlbom
Steemit is a platform that has helped so many people become creative. I personally I'm a project of so many steemians who wanted me to grow.
My journey on steemit has been very interesting, meeting people who took me as their project work. As a new steemian, I always wanted to learn how to write well so I visited blogs of notable steemit veterans of which I started to learn how to write.
Soon I was opportune to meet with @fisteganos who thought me what I needed to know about writing. I became a laboratory rat for the project @onequality and I'm really glad I was and I'm still a part of the project.
Like a Japanese proverb says "Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher". I always say that I'm a product of continuous mentoring and believe me I speak the truth. Writing alone wasn't enough, I needed to discover myself and this became possible with the help of @surpassinggoogle. I became his gig project even before I heard of #steemgigs
If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants - Isaac Newton
Also, I have learnt a lot from @donkeypong, @hanshotfirst and so many other great steemian directly or indirectly.
GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

great initiative @gbenga
fully supporting you on this with a well deserved upvote
keep it up and thanks for making nija proud...
I would think this is much more a contest than a steemgig. It's getting harder and harder to find real service offers and requests.
Why a nigerian and a non nigerian OMG NATIONALISM!!! but I already have the feeling of who is going to win ;) so I won't participate in this one, or will I. Okay let's see if I can beat you at this one @smyle ;-) as the non nigerian that means :P here is my entree https://steemit.com/society/@seveaux/thinking-multicultural-relativism
Lols ! You are funny brother ! It is a competition and someone must win it ! All the best bro ! 👍
Nice initiative brother
Wow, i am really am interested but I am away.from my laptop. Maybe the next virus contest i manage to join an entry.
@gbenga ,it is rare to find someone that's already at the top to help those beneath, but you just prove yourself to be a man filled with virtues and ready to help the minnows, i learnt a lot from you as you are always ready to help in order to keep the community going.
Thanks for this opportunity..

This is good
This is super, giving back to the community that made or is still in process of getting one made. The camaraderie here is not found in any other social media. Bravo 👍
I'm not going to enter because I'm not the best writer. I do believe in giving back to the community and I am glad to see you are using the logo I made at the top of your post. :)
Thanks @doctorcrypto for the logo, but you can participate in the contest. Nobody is the best writer, we are all learning. Moreover who said you are not a good writer?
It is in you.
