There is one rule that until now I still believe, the failure of someone in mastering a thing or developing at one field is not measured from who is the first learning the subject or first joining the team, but based on how much and how consistent in learning and trying.
Sounds cliche, but that is the fact, it is not a problem you just joined now or just learn one object as a noob, as long as you believe and you are consistent, it's just a matter of time until you can develop and master the subject.
There have been many examples that I have seen. I used to join the Linux community and use Linux for the first time and learn together with the community.
We started trying many things, reading many things and made a lot of mistakes until we had to reinstall the OS.
Over time, our ability in the community began to increase, even though there were several among us who had stagnated in learning, and rarely in gossiping about new things.
Then there are some people who want to join our community and intend to learn together.
He really wanted to learn, this could be seen from his spirit of learning and his consistent level in reading what was related to Linux, not long after, his ability can be said to be equal to us, and at some point, he has spent several other friends.
This also applies here, in Hive Blockchain, it doesn't matter if you just joined earlier this year, if you really want to learn about Hive and its ecosystem, I'm sure you will be able to develop here, it doesn't rule out your possibility that you will expand your predecessor It has long been joined but it is less consistent in learning and activity here.
I have seen many stories and examples here, try to consistently write and create content, consistently interact in the community, regardless of the vote value you will get, later you will see the difference and produce something.
Hive Blockchain provides the same opportunity for anyone who contributes to interesting, and useful content, different from "other places" which is very difficult to get attention, even though you really try optimally.
Especially if you have special and interesting abilities to be given to others, yout will surely feel at home here, you can also see and pick a community that is suitable for you.
I tried to get back and to stay active again, if I didn't have time to make content, at least I was still active and read several articles to be commented on.
My biggest regret is a hiatus for no apparent reason, and I don't want to blame anyone here. Because everyone can make reasons, and I don't want to make any reason, hopefully, earlier this year I can return to active and re-collect more Hive Power. Wish You All The Best This Year.
