It has been a little down around the end of 2017 after Steem and SBD cooled down from its high time.

## Who knows. Tadaa... Well, for 2018, this ain't a bad start!

Steem shot up to over $4USD today, imagine if you are HODL Steem, it is like doubling your wealth. 

I still believe it will appreciate and get even higher due to the value it creates for the community, especially content makers' world. What I can do now is keep on the hustle and grind to produce good contents for the community. Ever since I started with Steem, so far there is no loss for me. Even though I used quite a lot of time to create contents, but the process had made me better in writing, designing, collecting data and even thinking!

**[For 2018, one of my resolutions is to stack up 5,000 SP!](https://steemit.com/cn/@kimzwarch/2018-4)** Sound impossible but I would love to challenge that. This notion was also inspired by @stackin who always have this concept of stacking the hustle and effort. When it multiply by itself, the growth will be exponential. Sometimes, I felt what I am doing now is insignificant, but when I take one step back and look at the grand scale. Yes, I am doing something to complete the grand scheme of achieving that impossible goal. 

# Piece by piece, one at a time.

The motivation is always like a roller coaster, going up and down. The challenge for me is to find it whenever it is low and optimize it whenever it is high. Not to forget that I also have commitments out of the Steem world too.

> # Patience is a virtue and easily forget when we are in this fast paced society. 

I need to remind myself that I should know my pace and tempo. Although I am relatively slow now, I will be at the velocity soon. **Consistency is the key afterall.**

# May the force be with us all and STEEM on!
