Anyone that did not appreciate or acknowledge the reward (no matter how small) and the potential of steemit and steem is definitely not meant to be here.

You said it all with this

Here is one key: do not compare your account to others!!!
It is easy to look at a someone with hundreds of thousands of SP and say, this is a scam. If you do that, you will certainly fail.

That up there is problem with us newcomers but we are not very wrong though. it is hard not want more when you check the trending and home and see how much reward some posts are getting.

What we minnows need to understand is most of those reward are as a result of poster's investments or getting in early and working their ass off.
It is best we use this as a motivation to get the next level and succeed on steemit.
