Firstlyl I know about STEEMIT was from @vannour. He then advised me to join, and then More friends also advised the same thing. @vannour, @steemvest17, @safar01, thanks to you all.
Become afterwards, I have joined in this great community. In the beginning, I wanted to find out what is it about. Whole month I went along with, to see if this would be a good thing for me. Is this merely a matter of getting the reward for a posting?
So what's the answer I've found? I actually found that it was not merely a matter of rewards earned. But more than that, this was global community that brings together millions of ideas and works. I really feel very close to all the people in the world, unlike on facebook (I say this without forgetting and with all respect to what has been given by Facebook to the world community). In STEEMIT, like I was in a conference room at the United Nations. And here, I like finding niches where I can live naturally because the Acehnese since the time their ancestors are the people who perform a good relationships with the people of the whole nation in the world. Our country in the past is a cosmopolitan country because constitute of a transit port in maritime passageways between East and West World. The situation was not like today!
Here in STEEMIT, I can find a lot of beneficial things because everyone wants to post the many things that is unique, special, and amazing. I actually found something new in STEEMIT, and I want to continue my presence here, even the time that I have not much and extremely limited.
I am a researcher of history, epigraphs and writer in a place far from center of the world. I work for @mapesa, a community of volunteers who gives big concern to the history and the various historical heritage in Aceh in particular and Southeast Asia in general. Various work done by the Community is not funded by the local government or other hand. They are volunteers who work hard on the belief of the importance of caring for and preserving the cultural heritage and civilization which is owned by the country that floats between the Indian Ocean and the Strait of Malacca. And I was one of the researchers in that volunteer community.
Now, I am already 42 years of age. The original natives of Aceh. So, since 42 years ago my parents had given me a name: Taqiyuddin. I am proud of the name, but to make people easily to remember me, I chose the name @keuudeip which means in my language: for life. Yes, I want to be beneficial for the life even with a very limited ability. And because STEEMIT, in my perspective, was one community to revive; which revive the original works, revive those who work, so therefore I declare how fortunate I am to be among this community. And because of that I will be posting a lot about life and nature in STEEMIT.
So, move on STEEMIT, and I'm one of your supporters even across the ocean.
Here are some photos when I do my job as a historical researchers.
