How you doin'? I am your friend in Puerto Rico. How can I be of service?",<br>"body":"![buye.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmd9foUfYByESGQpjDw2YmFT3KEuDbdfG3Rj1kNF92JVXk\/buye.jpg)\n\nI am so excited I barely know where to start. Yes I do,<br> my gratitude. Thank you for your attention. There are lots of things you could be doing on here and you're choosing to read this. I am grateful for that. It's incredible how this movement has sucked me in. I have spent the last few days devouring articles,<br> videos,<br> posts and comments. Man,<br> have I learned a whole lot from you guys. I learned that this is a great community of people looking to do things differently than we have been doing. And since I am a big fan of change,<br> I am so loving it. So much so,<br> that I am eager to do my part to advance this paradigm shift. Totally looking forward to expressing myself freely and finding a community of like-minds.\n\nOne of the most resounding lessons repeated over and over by different Steemians I read was this,<br> write from the heart and seek those of like-mind. That is the way to have successful organic growth on the platform. Now there are a few debates as to whether organic or paid growth is the way to go. I have been learning about those as well. Must say that I stand on the side of organic growth most every time. I do understand the quickie path and the temptation. Hell,<br> I'm a newbie though,<br> and I really shouldn't even be opining. Perhaps I'll soon find myself having to resort to paid assistance in order to get paid. Until then,<br> I'm shooting for slowly but surely. I hope I didn't step on any toes with these words. Just trying to come from the heart.\n\nAs a beginner,<br> I have to say I fell in with a great crowd of teachers. I'm starting to see that there are,<br> as it should be,<br> various helpful guides in the Steemit community. I'm looking forward to learning from as many of these guides as possible. I would love it if some of you would share in the comments those teachers and guides that have been helpful to you. I'll start by mentioning a video I saw with an interview of @timcliff by @terrrybrock. That video was educational and inspiring. If you haven't seen it,<br> I highly recommend it. Also I'm going to name some Steemians whose posts helped me in one way or another to better understand Steemit. I know I have yet to learn a whole lot,<br> but I am very grateful I came across posts by these folk. I will put links to said articles in some future post,<br> stay tuned,<br> please :) The teachers I've been lucky enough to learn from thus far are: @teamsteem,<br> @whatsup,<br> @thecryptofiend,<br> @pappa-pepper,<br> @bycoleman,<br> @glenalbrethsen,<br> @angelking and there are others that have taken the time out to make sure this community works and that us newbies feel welcome and addressed. Gracias to all of you!\n\n![steemitme.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmdXcmizUWiDcv2ZSw7hpnkTafJimSNdkycdn5VsnsgQtQ\/steemitme.jpg)\n\nBy the way,<br> my name is Juan,<br> my friends call me Kano and I got here to Steemit totally by chance. Started looking into it and just loved the whole concept. Had to learn about crypto-currency and blockchains because I was clueless. Like I said,<br> I've learned a whole lot in the past few days. It gives me hope to see new ways of doing things. It's the only way we will break free from the old ways,<br> always need something new to replace the old. \n\nI live in Puerto Rico and will be writing about that,<br> religion,<br> politricks,<br> and living simply. I am a vegetarian who can't let go of eggs and cheese just yet,<br> but I am wanting to be a raw vegan by the time i'm 65 (I'm 52 now). I am Christian,<br> but not your typical Christian. I live by the greatest commandment - Love. Seriously though,<br> if you rolled your eyes,<br> said 'oh no',<br> or actually thought about clicking away from here,<br> feel free to chat with me before you go. I promise that I'll never make you think negatively of Jesus or true Christians with my words. \n\n![mestrong.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmV9dn8vCDJay5EEkjfUKuFNwqsYWpFaGkq9J1BSX8EaAC\/mestrong.jpg)\n\nAbsolutely love movies and books. Will list a few of my favorites,<br> curious to see if y'all are familiar with all of these. Movies - Citizen Kane,<br> Fight Club,<br> Dreams,<br> Mindwalk,<br> Godfather,<br> Bamboozled,<br> Fahrenheit 911,<br> Cowspiracy. Books - Science of Self,<br> Spontaneous Evolution,<br> Job: A Comedy of Justice,<br> Be Here Now,<br> Stranger in a Strange Land. Authors - Robert Anton Wilson,<br> Chogyam Trungpa,<br> Stuart Wilde,<br> Carlos Castaneda,<br> Robert Heinlein. \n\nAs you can see from my lists,<br> I have widely eclectic tastes. That goes for everything. I listen to all kinds of music. Eat all types of food,<br> so long as it's vegetarian. Can be way left on some issues,<br> while swinging to the right on others. I'm a firm believer in common sense,<br> which is severely lacking in politricks and most anything else for that matter. The Golden Rule and the KISS principle keep my life easy. \n\nWell,<br> I really need to get busy. Will be following all those I've mentioned here. Also looking to join @steemchurch,<br> what a great idea that was. So many firsts yet to come on Steemit,<br> I'm so glad to be able to be a part of some of those. Will probably spend the next few days learning more about the details. If anybody feels like giving some advice,<br> please feel free to do so. I will be looking for stuff I like so I can upvote and comment. Might be a few days before I post again. \n\nThanks again for your attention. Please let me know what you think of my writing so far. And if you have any questions on Puerto Rico,<br> well,<br> you now have a friend in pr. Paz y mas! \n\n![sunset3.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmNfSQNGuxyu2WnTpgehWMytiEhhwJX3karUD48RB6RfJA\/sunset3.jpg)",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"introduceyourself\",<br>\"spanish\",<br>\"introducemyself\",<br>\"life\",<br>\"puertorico\" ,<br>\"users\":[\"timcliff\",<br>\"terrrybrock\",<br>\"teamsteem\",<br>\"whatsup\",<br>\"thecryptofiend\",<br>\"pappa-pepper\",<br>\"bycoleman\",<br>\"glenalbrethsen\",<br>\"angelking\",<br>\"steemchurch\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmd9foUfYByESGQpjDw2YmFT3KEuDbdfG3Rj1kNF92JVXk\/buye.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmdXcmizUWiDcv2ZSw7hpnkTafJimSNdkycdn5VsnsgQtQ\/steemitme.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmV9dn8vCDJay5EEkjfUKuFNwqsYWpFaGkq9J1BSX8EaAC\/mestrong.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmNfSQNGuxyu2WnTpgehWMytiEhhwJX3karUD48RB6RfJA\/sunset3.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
