@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
This is an easy one!! An act of kindness I received here on Steemit was done by a very kind and generous person!! That person would be @kus-knee!!
I had been on Steemit for almost a month now and I decided to do my introduction post and that day changed my life!! I met @kus-knee and he helped me a lot and still helps me up to today!! He even helped me come up with my slogan “ Steemits 13 year old blogger” which has changed to 14 now!!
I even see @kus-knee helping hundreds of other people too!! That’s what makes him so kind, generous and giving!!!
I would have written more about how he helped me but 100 word limit!!
Thanks for your kind words. That's very kind of you to say. I need to exclude myself though!
Do you remember when I even didn't know what the market was.......
Yes and now you are Teaching me things!
You told too many tricks then :D
Escribiré en mi idioma natal, espero me lea Sr. @kus-knee, la oportunidad es propicia para dar las GRACIAS. En mi país pasamos por una situación económica difícil, comprar alimentos y medicinas es casi imposible. Al llegar a Steemit comencé a publicar pero me sentía invisible y triste, lo evaluaba como una opción entre tantas para sobrevivir y comprar alimentos lo más básico para mi familia. Pero desde que abrace mi Bonsay y usted votó por mi foto, además de un par más, me sentí muy feliz de poder contar con una ayuda. Sigo aquí, siempre agradecida y con Fe.
In order to help Mr. @kus-knee, this is the translation: I will write in my native language, I hope you can read me, Mr @kus-knee, the opportunity is propitious to thank. In my country we went through a difficult economic situation, buying food and medicines is almost impossible. When I got to Steemit I started to publish but I felt invisible and sad, I evaluated it as an option among so many to survive and buy food the most basic for my family. But since I embraced my Bonsay and you voted for my photo, plus a couple more, I was very happy to have a help. I'm still here, always thankful and with faith.
Gracias Ricardo por el apoyo. Un abrazo grande.
Thanks for the translation!
muy bien escrito!
I'm so happy that you're still here and doing your best! Keep moving forward with hope!
@psidema, esta es la traducción: Estoy muy feliz de que aún sigas aquí y estés haciendo lo mejor de tu parte! Siga hacia adelanta con esperanza!
An act of kindness i have been shown here on Steemit can be drawn down to one simple post. Its a post from @Kus-knee which started with the below.
I dont know how clear the comment has come out, but its the start of the comment which i am referring to which i am ranking as the highest form of support i have been shown on the platform. A bit of context as to why.
Being new on Steemit i had to change my plan of action, with so many great articles on one platform it was easy to feel anxious about posting. I had delayed and scrapped some of my articles as i was worried they deviated to much from the norms of the platform such as: Crypto analysis, why we should all buy specific coins and the dreaded pump and dump groups.
After feeling anxious about some of my posts i decided to focus on supporting articles which interested me and commenting on the posts which led me to reading an article from @Kus-Knee.
@kus-knees reponse to my comment began like this: "Great comment. Why not post about it on your own since you've been inspired? You'll have my vote and tons of support from me while you get established here."
The fact that there was someone on the platform who was happy to show support was enough to keep me determined. This was by no means the only act of kindness was shown to me from T.O.D. To help me get established i was sent Steem, given a formal introductory post, and given some great tips on how to to use on the platform. Following the support i was shown from The Old Dog, i decided i to wanted to help other Steemit users and introduce more people to the platform. I am speaking with a leading contributor to a UK based charity forum and i will be bringing up Steemit in the meeting.
Thank you for your support Old Dog and i hope to repay it. For now i am keen to support other users the way i have been supported. This includes contributing to conversations on the platform, bring new people to the platform, and support current contributors to promote there posts.
I owe you one.
I am also aware i have gone way over the word count but i am happy to say there is no need to promote or respond to this message as there are so many great responses on here. But i hope this post shows my appreciation for your support, not only to myself but to other Steem users i have come across whom you have supported.
Regards
The Young Dog.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. Much appreciated!
No problem, had i have not seen this blog post it would have been on my actual post. FYI you can expect this post to be expanded into a post on my official blog soon :)
Kus-knee, you are a example for all of us, the way you react on posts, its always kind and full of patience, and i do believe to in be kind to every living soul, people who are guided by a soft personality are mostly follow there example , by feeling loved, they will treat they fellow human the same way.
The world can be a place of love and security
Thanks for your encouraging words and continued support!
I remember when the Old Dog himself used to send out the 1 Steem for a bone!!! The good old days lol.
I just want to state that to me one of the all time nicest and most self sacrificing and generous people on this site is @dswigle. She always does the most thoughtful and sweetest comments. Not to mention she is incredibly generous in her constant tipping of nearly everyone she meets. So much so that I call here a tipaholic! She is just too kind and will probably be blushing when she reads this, but anyone who knows her will confirm it's the truth.
You have coined a new word. "Tipaholic"! I like it!
I'd gladly participate if there were no rewards, heh :d
Kindness is not about getting anything back.
It's like: Save a kid and get 100$! Don't miss the opportunity!
Hahaha yes I know what you mean. It can easily be misconstrued as contradictory!
Rewarding commenters here is one way for me to show kindness by sharing in the rewards. I'm an early adopter and I've had a lot of success. My goal is to help others as much as possible and to try and foster a kind and helpful spirit.
We can easily find other threads where there is a lot of complaining and fighting. I'd like to chronicle the other side, the side that I've seen, the side that many feel happy to be part of!
In any case I'm looking for examples of kindness done to you not what you did for someone else.
Hmm... let me think about it...
Mark @exyle once invited me to his cooking session with his green egg. It was very kind of him to be so hospitable with a newcomer.
Wow, if @exyle would have invited me I would have been over the moon! I love green eggs and ham!
Oh, come on, you're exaggerating it lol. It's not like I'm over the moon. It's just nice to meet friendly and hospitable people. Comparing to other social media platforms, steemit is heaven. And we basically have the same goal trying to pursue our dreams.
Green egg is a thingy to make barbecue :d
Random acts of kindness are always my favourite and need to get exposure. Your post and new contest sure will help the world be a better place! Thanks you!!!
Namaste :)
I hope to help to spread the love!
Every behavior that we put forth as human beings is absolutely counterproductive. Some people constantly complain about what they are in. However, it is necessary to know that all negativity is hidden in the human spirit of the foundation. People who live in the self, take it without taking care of other people and make their love become a place to live. Confucius says: Knowledge saves the fear of being a person from doubt, goodness from suffering, decisiveness.
If we want to live in goodness and always want to be happy, we should pay attention to the steps we have taken. The first step is that human beings are the basis of many behaviors and the life is shaped in accordance with these steps. We have to approach people with roses, not thorns, much more meaningful, much more virtuous.
Let's Succeed Together! @kus-knee and him followers
I like what you wrote, my own philosophy about life is be kind to every living soul , it cost you noting and you receive a smile or kindness in return. it just make life so much prettier , i believe in pay it forward.
Your post is very inspiring
You took the words right out of my mouth @vee2180. My thoughts couldn't be expressed any better!
Just imagine living in a world where everyone showed your kindness.. what a place that will be!
"We have to approach people with roses, not thorns, much more meaningful, much more virtuous."
So true!
oh this is another great one.. :) i like if we can do it more often..because in most of the medias they always try to highlight the bad..a murder,crime scene,robberies,rape scenes..but they do not want to show the good things done by people..they do not want to market the good..so i think we should show more and more good done by the people..then only it will be a good motivation to others..this is my personal belief..hope you would agree with me sir :)
I do :-)
