I will use this story to highlight my advice and response to people who has taken it upon themselves to criticize Blurt, @megadrive and the blurt team.
Please kindly read to the end.

I will like to tell you a story of the artist and the apprentice.🙏🙏🙏
Once upon a time in a far far away land, long long ago🌞🌞🌞

There was a little boy who was taking to the master painter in the whole land.
The master painter was the best that you could find anywhere.
Over the years,this boy started to develop amazing skills and drawing spectacular pieces.

One day the master invited him and said to him, Young man!!!.
I have finished teaching you everything I possibly can, Therefore it is time for you to go out into the real world.

And the boy looking a bit puzzled said, master how do I know if I am that good?
So he asked the young apprentice to get a canvas and paint his most spectacular masterpiece and bring it to him 🥰.
So the young apprentice did exactly as he was told. It took him several days but he made the most beautiful piece of art you have ever seen.

When he brought it to his Master, the master asked him to get an easel and take his canvas to the market place. However he should take a

• paint brush
• Black paint
  As well as a cardboard where he will write certain key instructions.

So the boy took it to the entrance of the market place. He set up the easel and put up the beautiful master piece upon display for everyone to see. And then set the paint and paint brush next to it, and then he created this message. He was told by his master to write down.

IF YOU SEE ANYTHING WRONG OR IF YOU DISLIKE ANY PART OF THIS WORK OF ART, PUT A BLACK DOT ON IT 😭😭😭

At the end of the day, the young apprentice went back to the market place and took his shock and dismay because the entire piece was covered in BLACK.

Woop Woop Woop!!!⚔️⚔️⚔️👽👽👽👺
He was demoralized, dismayed and so deflected and in tears he took the piece back to his master saying they hate my work therefore I am not that good.😭😭😭.

His master told him to calm down and simply gave him thesame set of instructions again.
He said go and paint another spectacular masterpiece.
After a few days, reluctantly the young apprentice did just that and when he brought it back, it was just as beautiful as the first piece 🥰💕🥰.

So he took it once again to the market place as he was instructed to do, however this time he was told to take

• White paint and
• A paint brush
  And what he was to write on the note was

IF YOU LIKE ANY PART OF THIS PAINTING, PUT A WHITE DOT ON IT

At the end of the day he went back and took his shock, disbelief because the entire painting was white 😲😳😳😳.
He was so excited, however he was a bit puzzled that he took it back to the master painter.
He said, master I don't understand it seems some really liked it and some really hate it.

The master immediately asked him to do one more assignment.
He said go once more and paint another beautiful masterpiece just like the other two.
Again the boy did as he was told. When he brought it back, he now asked him to get

• A blank canvas and
• A second easel

He told him to take it to the entrance of the market place and take

• A Paint brush and
• The whole mix of paints that were used to create that piece 🥰😂😀

The you apprentice did just that but this time around the instruction was

IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANY PART OF THIS WORK OF ART PLEASE CREATE YOUR OWN ON THE BLANK CANVAS

At the end of the day, the young apprentice came back.
He was quite surprised because his masterpiece was intact and the canvas he brought was totally blank just the way he left it.

So he went back to his master and said, I am a bit confused, I took it there however no one seemed to be able to replicate what I had done.

The master said SON I want you to remember this ✅✅✅

In life there are people who will love what you do and there people who will hate what you do.

The are people who will love the service you offer and there will be people who will hate what you have to offer.

However if you are authentic, if you make sure each and every time, in all your interactions and in everything you do that you produce your best masterpiece, then you will have nothing to worry about.

Remember this, those who hate and criticize your work most likely won't be able to replicate what you do. So focus on creating your best masterpiece each and every time

The truth of the matter is that for many of us, some will hate what we do and some will love what we do.
However if we are focused and ask ourselves certain key questions like....

• IS WHAT I'M DOING THE RIGHT THING?
• I'M I MAKING AN IMPACT?
• IS IT VALUABLE TO THE SOCIETY?
• I'M I UPLIFTING EVEN ONE PERSON?
• IS MY INTENTIONS AUTHENTIC?
• I'M I PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING?
  And finally
• I'M I GROWING? ❤️

And the answer to all of this is a big YES
And this young apprentice is @megadrive
And the one person whose life you have uplifted is @chibuzorwisdom.
This master is God almighty who gave @megadrive and his team knowledge.
Those who painted the black dot are blurt adversaries who are constantly attacking the platform.
Those who painted white are blurt members who have seen reasons to keep blurting.

You have seen that the world we live in today requires more from us than what we studied.
Sometimes our paper qualifications don't actually matter.
Have you ever stopped to think about what makes you special, what makes you different.
You are the sum of your experiences and you are different.
Our gifts might seem thesame like others, However we all have that extra something, that extra ability to be the master of a particular thing.

So my final word to you boss @megadrive
Keep being professional at what you do.
Though the road might be rough and muddy,
But you will get there,
Heaven knows how you will get to the apex off your dreams and career.
I Know and I am convinced that you will.
BLURT is the future ✅✅✅🥰

I dedicate it to you @megadrive.
