The Newbie
I started as a ListNerd newbie opening, reading,
commenting and voting on mails.
The journey as a beginner has its learning curve and great posts from ListNerds, educating and sharing their achievements in CTP Tokens and ListNerd Tokens, have been encouraging and inspiring me to do more.
A Mail By @Bradleyarrow
I opened a mail on ListNerds and it was a post by @bradleyarrow, where he discussed about low voting on some mails, which he deduced to low voting power of some members who had low CTP Tokens in their wallets.
To encourage more voting for mails, he was willing to give away 1000 CTP Tokens to 10 people ( 100 CTP Tokens each), who are willing to stake them, to increase their voting power when they read mails on ListNerds.
The Gift Of 100 CTP Tokens
He was true to his words, though I got in late, I was one of those luckily chosen by @bradleyarrow, and he gifted me 100 CTP tokens on ListNerds.
I was elated when I received the tokens, he made my day and as promised him, the CTP tokens were staked to increase my voting power on ListNerds.
Giving On Hive And ListNerds
On Hive and ListNerds, I have interacted with people, many who are willing to give different forms of support and help to assist me and others along the learning curve, one is my friend @readthisplease.
I am, many a time surprised by the numerous gesture of giving generally, this overwhelms me with gratitude.
The gift of CTP tokens from @bradleyarrow for me, reiterates in my life the importance of giving no matter how little, it goes a long way to bring positive change in another persons life and the world at large.
I promised him, I would pay it forward. Gratitude to all those who have been giving and spurring the newbies forward to greater heights.
My Question
My question is, what is the importance or benefits of giving in any form, from your experience on Hive, ListNerds and life generally?
I will be very glad to receive your comments. Thanks.
