Excellent post as always! I will have to upvote once my steem gets back up. Steemit has been acting weird for me today.

I love that you included "discipline and persistence are your two best allies" because you have to stay persistent. If you aren't, it is easily something you will give up on and look at this as a thing of the past. Steemit is an incredible platform, and I really do hope it surpasses the likes of Facebook in the long run and that everyone can benefit from this platform and be successful.

Your school has already taught me so much that it amazes me why everyone on steemit isn't already utilizing it!
