Should I get to share my own story too?

Lol.

Let me not bore @eric and other followers with too much to read.

I agree with you my friend. Steemit is a complete package.
And I'm truly happy I met a beautiful soul like you.

Mahatma Ghandi said, “Success is a series of glorious defeats.” Never be afraid to stumble, failure lays the foundation of both humility and compassion. If you think you’re tough, if you feel you’re strong, like you have all of the confidence in the world and don’t need anyone’s help then I would venture a guess that you haven’t even began to test your limits

We've all faced defeats.
Let me throw back a little. When I was in highschool, I thought if I could make good grades, all my problems would be over.

Entrance exams into the University, I prayed to pass. That if God should answer just this one, I won't bore him with any other request ever. Many Times, many challenges, many promises.

We weren't broken, even if we did fail we didn't stop. We tried harder in exams and life so it was victory in the end.

This article is really an encouraging one my friend and I appreciate you for sharing
