Chapter 1: A Grateful Acknowledgment

First and foremost, I want to extend a colossal thank you to everyone who has chosen to follow me. This message serves as a brief update regarding a challenge I embarked on some time ago after reaching the notable milestone of 100 followers. With a hint of humor, I set myself the ambitious goal of reaching a million followers.

Currently, I stand at 1,000 followers, which feels monumental, yet I still have a long way to go—specifically, 999,000 followers remain on my journey!

Being relatively new to the Medium platform, I understand the challenges of building a follower base. I encourage everyone to support emerging writers—if you want me to follow you back, just let me know in the comments.

Previously, I viewed having more followers than those I followed as a sign of weakness. However, on Medium, I believe it’s beneficial to follow more people than you have followers. This approach not only fosters mutual growth but aligns with my belief that life should embody a “win-win” philosophy.

Section 1.1: Embracing New Opportunities

Throughout most of my life, I've opted for the secure yet often monotonous path of a traditional job to meet financial obligations, support my family, and save for retirement.

Medium represents a fresh opportunity to explore writing as a potential source of income. Thus, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all who are following or supporting my endeavors on this platform. I see a valuable niche in writing about environmental issues, especially given the limited attention these topics receive in the UK and beyond.

As a “late adopter” of Medium, I have found it to be an intriguing and welcoming space filled with remarkable articles from diverse writers with rich life experiences.

Having made my share of mistakes early on, I compiled an article titled “Medium Easy,” which serves as a Beginner’s Guide. This piece may assist new writers and highlights some experienced individuals on Medium who offer insights into formatting, publications, and maximizing the platform’s features.

Chapter 2: Looking Ahead

Once again, I want to express my deepest appreciation to everyone who is following me. I hope your own Medium journey yields significant rewards!
