Exactly! Your story reminds me so much of my own journey. When I first joined Steemit, I was chasing quick profit. I saw people earning $50,$20 per post and thought I'd get the same instantly. But my first few posts barely made $0.10.

At one point, I felt like giving up. But then I paused and asked myself: “What if it’s not about the money first?” That mindset shift changed everything. I started focusing on the value I could bring to readers. I learned Markdown, improved my formatting, and paid attention to how I told my story.

It was little by little — just like the bird and its nest. The more I grew, the more support started coming in, slowly but surely. That proverb is more than just words — it’s a life strategy.
