Prompt interview

I read an article yesterday, talking about how some read.cash users leave comments on people's posts without even reading the article/post.

What baffles me most is the fact that some of them leave irrelevant comments; comments that isn't even related to the article in any way. I'm usually shocked at times when I read some people's comments. I feel that, if you can't read one's article, isn't it better to just skip and move on to the next.

Why commenting out of point?.

I remember a time like that, when I wrote an article on a particular topic, this user came; commenting about "a parent being strict to their children."

Yes, I know I've written on "strict parents" before, but this particular article wasn't in anyway related to "strictness."

I always read before dropping comments, and sometimes when I've finished reading and I'm just clueless as regards what to comment, I tip and pass.

Let's try and curb off this habit, just as the writer said, there's a reason why it's called "read.cash" and not "write.cash," the platform expects you to read the articles of others and if you can't... cause trust me, it's not possible to read everyone's articles. There are so many articles I've not read for a long time, and it just keeps piling and increasing by the day.

That's why I do take the articles of my commentators as my first priority, before checking out the articles of others.

I understand you, really. But tipping is better than leaving irrelevant comments on people's articles. Or even if you can't possibly read to the end, atleast have something awesome to say in the comment section, not something so off and different.

It hurts too, when you don't read an article at all and it's so obvious that you didn't read it or you prolly read only the title. Lol πŸ˜‚

Anyways, it is well.

Before we proceed, I need to leave a message to my sponsors.

To my sponsors, I'm immensely grateful for your loving show of support, thanks for the renewals, thanks for your stay on my block. Mr @Olasquare thanks so much, for the sponsorship renewal.

Today's blog.

I first came across this questions on @Gaiom post, he answered these questions brilliantly and I made my request known; stating that I'd like to jump on it. He gave me the go ahead.

Without further ado, let's delve right in.

Do I like who I am right now?

Sighs...

It depends though, I partly do and I partly don't.

Partly do.

I love for a fact that I'm wiser than what I used to be, I'm better and I have clearer visions.

Partly don't.

Aah, I'm lazy, the visions are there, but there's no driving force, I procrastinate alot, I eat too much biscuits; even after knowing it's harmful to my health.

One minute, I'll say I won't eat biscuit frequently anymore, the next minute I'm in Mummy Dora's shop buying and buying. Wasting so much on something so invaluable. Even my mum doesn't trust me with buying something meaningful with money. It's always biscuits and all forms of junks.

I know the steps to take, but my self-control towards things is pretty weak.

So I'm happy and still unhappy with who I am.

When was the last time I laughed so hard?

Sighs...

It should be some weeks ago, when I was teasing a close friend of mine as regards how he says words like: "I think, because, and stuffs like that." Lol.

What would I truly regret not doing if I died tonight?

Sighs...

I'll definitely regret not achieving my dreams and goals in life, not being able to conquer my spending habit, not using my time on Earth in doing wise and profitable things.

Not being a good daughter to my parents.

I'm being truthful here though, it's the truth, my life is quite complicated.

What advice had someone in my family given, and that I have taken just in time?

From my dad actually, he said:

  • Never look down on/downgrade anyone.

  • Don't be proud.

What were the top three lessons I learned the hard way?

  • In all you do in life, don't forget where you came from, don't ever forget these six letter words: "family."

  • Most people don't really care about you, the moment you are useless to them, they drop you like a piece of garbage. So never loose your value.

  • There are two words that consists of four letters, one is "love" and the other is "lust." Most people confuse lust for love, I learnt alot from this, and believe me, I learnt it the hard way.

What would I do if my biggest fear came true?

Sighs...

My biggest fear is failing and not being able to eat a meal in a day, more like going back to square one.

Sighs...

I honestly don't know what I'll do, I can't say, I'm clueless as to how deep it'll cut through my skin. I might even loose faith. I'm not here to mince words. The truth is: I might not be able to scale through it again, especially since I've been there before.

What would I do with my remaining years if I had only a year left to live?

Sighs...

I'll spend it with my family, do all I can to achieve my goals, be a good daughter to my parents, overcome my weaknesses and strive to leave a legacy to generations and those yet unborn.

Am I a servant of money or does money serve me?

Without sighing or wasting time. I am a servant of money...yeah, I hope the tide turns soon.

Why am I afraid of being true to myself when others are around?

It's just quite hard to be true without having people judging you. But then, I've changed though.

Whatever you do, people would surely talk, some will be your supporters and some will be your opposers. So just do what you know is right.

Till we meet again in my next article and in yours.

Thanks for reading.

I really enjoy your work, Ellawrites! It's inspiring to hear how you draw from your experiences in your writing. As a writer myself, I find that tapping into personal https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/5-best-dissertation-writing-services-uk-top-rated-companies-carter stories can create the most powerful pieces.

The issue of people dropping irrelevant comments has a thing every platform is struggling with, they are just interested in getting tips from the author.

I can say that you acknowledge these habits you know are not good and that's the first step to doing away with them. You once mentioned your addiction to junk, it is important to let it go. Being a good child is important as well, our parents won't be here for every and showing them that they have done their best for us is important. Biko be a good girl okay.

In concern with what you mentioned first, yeah, it is indeed frustrating when someone leaves a comment not relevant to the content you published.

Anyway, I like how you still remembered the things that you learned from your dad, like not being too proud and that u should not look down to others. Just like you, I am in a 50/50 likeness to myself since I feel demotivated lately. Such a good piece.

Ella that’s what I have noticed too. I once saw such an irrelevant comment on one of my articles too. It felt so strange that the comment was about something that I had not discussed at all in my article. First I thought, let’s ask that person why has he dropped such an irrelevant comment then I let it go. Yes it’s good to simply upvote rather than dropping foolish comments. By the way you have given a very good idea for my next article. I’ll be answering these questions in my next post

As touching the people dropping unrelated comments on people's articles, what i will say is this, they aren't interested reading the articles, all they're after is the tips they're gonna get, and it shouldn't be so. How i wish they will change.

Unfortunately, some people leave comments without reading the article, and this is offensive to the author of the article.
