Topic Of Discussion - Reflecting On 2021 / Our Cross-Over Story
2021 is almost a wrap guys, For this weekend, we have two topics. Before the new year,With few hours to go,
I want us to take a moment to reflect on our 2021 and share some things you want others to learn from you. I picked this topic from 
Off the chain, it was horrible, but on-chain, I show up every day, do what I love doing and became a different person entirely. That said, I've come to learn a lot about hive, I mean..... Haven't we all? It's not all roses and velvet, it's been a marathon of excitement of "highs and lows". At the end of the day, the year has blissfully come to an end, and by far, i'm grateful for the little "wins", the people and the change.
From tomorrow, which is the first day of 2022, we can share our cross over night stories. I hope we learn and also have fun this weekend.
Let Me Start!
My Name is Samuel, Age 21.
This year has been full of drama for me, This was my first full year after graduating from the university. 2020 still had covid and lockdowns, so it went pretty fast. I stay alone and i take care of myself. I don't have an office job, I only teach chess to kids. It was very difficult for me to survive after getting an apartment because I didn't want to do my National youth service yet, I wanted to see if I could create other ways of getting money as my competitive chess strength was declining.
Looking back at my year, Financially, I had a breakthrough with trading my chess salary for a 50x leverage. I threw away the money in few weeks due to lack of gambling discipline. I won a chess tournament earlier this year, but my chess strength has been far from me.
I returned to hive in the last quarter of the year, And my on chain activities has affected my life in general positively. I've been more productive. I've been able to involve myself in more crypto projects that doesn't involve trading. I've been able to take care of myself and my loved ones a bit. And lastly, I've been Happy.
This is My 2021 Story
Let the discussion begin....
