Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

Today's guest curation is provided by @ecoinstant, our first guest curator! @ecoinstant is a man of all trades, diligently dedicated to making the world a better place through all of the tools at his disposal. Sustainable development is the end goal - let's all reach for it, building in peace and harmony.

You can earn up to 15 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Read below for details.

Now, on to today's great selections...

Why Do We Make Our Life So Difficult??

Have you ever realized that we are the main cause of our own problems? @sharoonyasir takes a contemporary example of a soap opera, and shows that basic lack of honesty and communication are how we generally make our own lives very difficult. This psychological and sociological breakdown is very fun; if that is you have ever watched television.

The Taste of Chicken

The taste of chicken is a short story - a chapter in @snook's book of freewrites. Touching on the relationship between men and women, this particular story shows how @snook likes to show both sides of a thing, and opens our minds doing so!

Birding in Suriname 8 - Hummingbirds nesting in our garden

Birding is the perfect activity for making the world a better place. Not only do we take precious moments to admire and respect the beauty of nature, we also see that in order to encourage birds we need trees and plants, which are good for our environment as well. @gardenbsquared is one of my favorite birders that I have found on steemit, maybe because of his long involved articles showing his experiences for a week, not all about only one bird.

Sometimes not doing anything is the right thing to do.

I have been following @vangelov's series on mystical places, things and teachings. The world is truly a spiritual place! There is so much mystery out there, and here we get a nice nugget of wisdom: observe, patience, calm. Do no harm.

Conclusion

We had a long wait before getting some guest curators, but wow! Didn't @ecoinstant make some fantastic selections? He definitely sets the bar high for others to follow. For submitting these four great selections, @ecoinstant earns 12 SBD today. In addition, each of these choices receive full upvotes and resteems from @sneakyninja!

Submission Requirements

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will also not be accepted.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen if you mistakenly choose an article previously curated in The Daily Sneak, if another submission curates your same choices and is published before yours, or if the editors do not accept the content quality of some of your choices.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 3 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 15 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces. We hope that they will spend some of the SBD earnings to power up- but it's their choice.
