By now, based on my author reputation and the HP you might have guessed, I am not really the one that has managed to attract the crowd nor have I managed to raise myself up into the ranks where I can consider myself Elite or Expert on Hive platform.

It all started with the 2020 journey where I was part of the Uptrennd community. Plenty of people from the Pakistan, Nigeria and Brazil were on that platform. With very few Singaporean users over there, among which I was one who also used to post there.
Then that platform turned downtrend. And we had to find new ways to post content to earn some crypto rewards in return. At first it was about earning the crypto rewards and then it started towards the journey where we preferred helping each other online.
Thanks to the Navi, who helped me find Noisecash and Readcash. He also told us about the Hive and Steemit so that we decided to give these platforms a try. I assume he's successful enough in real life so that he is often not found much online like he used to be in the past.
After noisecash, I slowly started to put my networking skills put to use (which I mind you are extremely broken). I managed few followers. Though, as you can see from my noisecash profile are in 3000+ plus but I barely get like 12 or so followers hearting or tipping my content. But I persist in writing and learning from whatever I can and moving ahead.
Corona virus and the various obstacles that came after 2020 gave me an idea of the future and what I have achieved so far. I realized few things that I am going to be changing in the near future.
- I realized I have no support group or people to go to when I need help.
- I realized online your success is mostly because of the people around you.
- You have to give a lot more before you can even get an inch in return from the community.
Nothing is assured in life, so do what you can and make use of your today for a better future. - People matter, so write about people and not you.
So what have you learned from this short journey write-up so far?
Most of what I am today is not because of my reaction and response but more of how people around me helped me or dissed me that made me who I am. And I have to find people who can help me build myself further. I don't have control over what the future is but I sure have control over how I am reacting to the present.
People build you with their small actions that could help you or break you. You just have to let some of their help reach you and not get in your own way.
What about you? Have people helped you to build yourself?
