The Road To Learning and Knowing; How I Applied This To Promote Steem At My Locality.

in #promo-steem8 years ago

You may at some point have thought that every word from the elderly is true and must live by. Sometimes, because of this you stress yourself in any direction the words will direct you, all in the name of complying to what is said.

Memories are unlocked when familiar situations reflect. I was hanging under a tree after I spoke with the headmster. I told him I was here to share with him including the other teachers a social platform where one gets paid for their ideas.

Under the tree I was very opened in the mind. The headmaster and the proprietor went on with their conversation. This is not real. It is scam or one of these occult groups. You people should not be naive. These were the submissions of the proprietor.

The headmster approached me later. Sir, I am sorry to tell you that we can not allow you today. I would advise you come next time. Today's schedules could not be compromised.

Of course, I left the school with many thoughts zooming through my mind. On the way, I turned back to the school. Determined to give out what I have which is nothing but steemit.

To the Headmaster and the Proprietor;
Growing up my mom told me to stick to what I have been told true. Follow what is only taught at home, my place of worship, school and what my culture says. Be humble, respectful, generous and loving towards your neighbours. Remember, in our family, we do not have money and first to appear when calling the have-nots. These were good submissions from her.

On the other side of the advice, my dad would call me and say son, to grow and fit well into every society, be receptive to any knowledge. Learn, read and think about anything that you come across in your life. Do not depend on what is taught solely but think outside the box and tap knowledge from all sphere of lives. Be tolerant, respectful, loving and on top of it be flexible but do not be weak. A good set of submission from him, too.

So to me, the Road to Learning and Knowing is Perception, Reception, Analyzation, Realization but never include JUDGMENT.

How I Applied The Knowledge To Promote Steem
With the above set of submissions from both parents, which one is good and worth living to you as an individual? Taking away your power to decide whether good or bad is to put off your volition power and hence has no will. And taking your willpower into consideration and decide what is good or bad is rebellion or disobedience, as you would term it.

Undoubtedly, however, the two set of submissions from both parents had had their effects but one surpassed the other depending on how each set of submission was perceived, received, analyzed and understood.

Actually, the proprietor knows me because years back I was a teacher in his school. Knowing how straightforward I am, he said explain further.

My Explanations And Objections To Their Conversation

  1. Steemit is free but not cheap: We all started steemit without paying a penny before registering or to login. I know we all buy data bundle for surfing the internet but that is between you and your SIM card network. Again, the fact that it is free does not mean steemians vote any content. Hence it is not cheap.

  2. Occultism: The word, in African, Ghana to be precise, has been overrated, misunderstood and misinterpreted inclusion. This has affected growth and development of so many things. To mention one aspect is the human brain and has poisoned many thoughts with fear. Occult means hidden. So even your name could be occult to me, provided it is hidden or not known to me. You are right to say steemit is occult when speaking for the fact that you do not know it. However, you are wrong to think it is demonic as most think of the word occult.
    a. If your definition for steemit is correct, then there will be no need to check originality. Checking plagiarism would be redundant because after all the devil needs majority which plagiarism impedes.
    b. If you are right about steemit, then every content should be voted. In fact, the opinion of the crowd should not be considered at all. The community should just award everybody gigantically when join so that more could be recruited right away. But this is not the case.

  3. Judgment: It is the first principle every true seeker of truth and knowledge should apply, defer judgment indefinitely. Your obligation is to test all things and stick fast to what is good. However, sir you did not even hear what I have for you, did not receive the message of steemit nor tested the community and yet you termed it differently.

  4. Ask from the right source: It is very important to ask the right people for the right information. If you want to know how flying is for example, ask from birds. Ask steemians for information on steemit. It is true that I am new on steemit but I am better than one who has not read about steemit or has not been on this platform. Assumptions will not help us sir.slide_7.jpg

The Proprietor's Response To My Explanations And Objections
You have not change. For all these years, you are still the same man I met some years ago. You are permitted to carry out your presentation.

Conclusion
Many are the challenges that will come our way while we move on with steemit. But do not allow yourself to be overcome. Only keep pressing on and on. Also, many might be ignorant and have misconceptions about steem and other cryptos, do not be a victim of their definition. However, be an agent of change to change their mindsets.
