[ My original Vietnamese version ]
This is my entry in English version organized by @livvu with a topic of “PORTRAITS OF VIETNAM STEEMIANS 2018”, further details about the contest, please go here: .This is the English version so I don’t think I can write it well again. So I just put a short translation for it.
If you don’t do anything or you just do the same thing over and over again, you stay the same, and staying the same means going backwards - Roger Federer
I have been steeming for few months, and seeing a lot of great Viet Steemians, doing great job on leading the community. It would be out of word for me to express how much they are contributing. But today I would like to share with you a person who is silently doing something remarkable to Vietnamese community, she is @ lantracy
There are some people already being leadership for the community, they are talented and amazing human being, so it’s obvious that we can learn something new from them. For Lantracy, she isn’t a leader for us, but she is always a role model not only for me, but especially for newbies. Honestly there is something I’ve been always jealous with her, so I made 5 reasons why I “hate” her so much being on this platform. There you go!
1. She works…too much
I’m lazy. But I do want achievements, but she, she is a English teacher teaching kids, married, 2 kids, but with limited resources. Before Steemit, she was even a depressed a depressed person . Since she started writing on Steemit, her life’s changed. She writes, she tells us her life to totally strangers she doesn’t know them, she joins all the contests…She is a lady, she doesn’t want to depend on her husband, and wants to take care of her family in her own way: writing! She writes even when everyone is crying because Steem’s value is dropping, and noone want to write. But she still consistently write. But because I am a lazy person and don’t want people to be more successful, so I hate this.
2. She shares…too much
Yes, she really does. She shares everything from some English lessons that I hated when I was in school, and I saw now on Steemit too. She shares all the contests, the tools she knows for people who want to develop on Steemit. Even sometimes I know something that I didn’t want her to share, but she still did. Because I am so selfish
3. She wins…too many contests
Does anyone agree with me that she’s been winning too many contests? I tried to win some, and really competed hard with her, but she always left me behind. Even she won a lot of them ,she still didn’t give up and take part in more of them.
I think we better visit her blog more often, to know what contests she is joining, watch her entry, and try to do it better.
4. She is too brave when someone gives her feedback
I am shy and I don’t like argue about almost everything. But sometimes I am really straight forward to everyone, but most of the time I like being quiet. And if somebody tell me something negative, I would get hurt and can’t defense myself
We are as a human I think noone likes that feeling. But it’s different for her, I once told her something I don’t like about her. First I thought she would walk away and never talk to me again, but she didn’t do it. She took it calmly and that surprised me a lot.
5. And, I don’t like her anyway
Those were 4 things I don’t like about her, because I feel ashamed about what I did and where I am now on this platform. But this is also a reason I wrote about her here. Because she reminded me that if I am not trying every day, there is always someone will become better than me. As the quote I put on the top from Roger Federer.
