What a dramatic title init? But yes, Hebrew 11:6, and wait, there's something you should know
Anyways I'm a person who is always flexible, growth is something I usually aim for and it's a value I usually seek in people as well. This is because I believe that people need to realize that there's nothing wrong with following the long way, shortcuts get things done but it takes away the most valuable lessons, which means you grow in finances, grow in the necessary aspects but fail to learn the necessary lessons that come with growth. A lot of people do not want to do things the organic way and this is because it's challenging. Sometimes we envisage the results without balancing them with the thoughts of sacrifice and work.
Making us underestimate the pain we might go through. I have a lot of people I respect on Hive and this is because subconsciously, these people have taught me. There's a guy I know here building his splinterlands deck, and he's painstakingly doing it, putting in money and making the sacrifice. Now, he's not even sure when he'll begin to get the megabucks for his investments, he's a staunch investor who loves the rudimentary of investing and this alone has endeared me to supporting him even if it's just tiny. The reality is when and if splinterlands takes off and do about x1000 for example, his investments might be in the region of $500,000 when it comes to the value and a lot of people might say he was lucky or that he is fortunate.
The truth is that everyone has an equal opportunity to be fortunate, it's just that some people cannot pay the price
I like learning from the growth process of people, it motivates and challenges me. There was a lady I use to know here, I felt we could collaborate, do some business deals, and both win together. I was supposed to help her set up goals to grow her account, help her with when to buy hive, channel them to HBD, take off the profit, power it up and all, in real-time, we could meet up, invest in real-time business since she had the means. I was relishing this, but it turned out she only wanted to milk as much as she can rather than grow and spread the result of the growth, I immediately withdrew the situationship and we became strangers once more.
In reality, some people do not understand that a place like Hive is cyclical, even if you're not directly impacting anyone, let your goals and effort reflect and people can see and it might motivate them. This is one of the reasons why power downs are frowned upon. One's account action often reflects their intent towards the chain and because you have people who are keeping the value, it'll become a typical "keepers and takers" situation. It gives off the vibe that you're not interested in the future of the platforms and this is why hive and the relationship it has often formed with Twitter influencers have not panned out well. These guys are invited to do a good job of marketing this place, it turns out that only want to dump links and milk without bringing anything in return, hence the downvotes come and it ends badly.
A Reflection Of Value
When people build their goals, the quality of these goals doesn't just reflect on them, it reflects on others. In reality, Hive is aiming to grow beyond this stage, so it needs that belief and attention. A lot of people have been complaining about splinterlands lately, saying it's all about money, but the truth is, it's the business aspect of it that eventually keeps the gaming interest. People are saying it's firstly a game, but if the money isn't there will they want to try out a game without incentive, when their first choice would be COD or need for speed?. They're rewarding their biggest investors because they're the ones who keep the money in. To the splinterland inc, it's first a business before a game and their reasons are legitimate and justifiable. I am a believer in symbioticness
Win, let me win, and let's collectively win. This isn't just about crypto or any crypto-related project, it's how the world should be.
You have people texting you automatically when they need something and after that, they disappear into the wild until they need something again. Irrespective of what goals a group of people is building, if it doesn't involve collectively winning, then it's useless. Let people win from you too, it's mostly not about money, sometimes it can come from non-monetary value, you do not need money to add value. In the world, there are bringers, keepers, and even maintainers. Hive is a representation of reality and this is why we haven't found the perfect rhythm. That element of human nature is there, while this can be a bane, growth is inevitable it'll only take a ridiculous amount of time.
Let your actions inspire people, even if you're not directly beneficial to them, and be a motivation and a reason why they'll want to set goals for themselves. Keep it real. People are the value, and the money that comes with it is a validation of that relationship. Hive reflects real life, you cannot be invincible to others and have them visible to you. I'm still learning every day and sometimes when I cut off certain relationships it's when people do not let their winnings reflect in others. Be a rewarder of them that diligently seek it.
