Without sustained work, there is no growth. No growth, no victory.Herbert Harris
First I want to congratulate 
For today I have chosen to elaborate: Engagement on Hive
What does engagement on Hive mean to you and how do you do it? What methods or strategies have you used and what results have you had? Do you feel it has been helpful to build your account, have you enjoyed it or do you feel you'd rather not have to do it?
Reading through the introduction part of this Weekend-Engagement I was pleasantly surprised and moved because I could see myself in the words written there.
Why I say this because in October 2021 under the guidance of some very close friends I made the decision to create an account in the HIVE platform.
Initially I also focused on a certain travel community because I am a big travel lover and I wanted very much to share with others my experiences in different parts/areas of my country or the world.
Besides the fact that I interact with beautiful people and that I have the opportunity to discover new customs, rituals, all sorts of things that I have never seen before, this is why I thank the Hive community and especially the founders of some of the communities in which I work, this time I choose not to give their names so as not to forget anyone and upset others.
What does the Hive engagement mean to me?
I can say that when I decided to create the 
My months in Hive went by relatively quickly, I started out timidly with one post a week and then ended up posting every day in different communities.
I must admit that I had times when I was on the verge of abandoning the
I've started to ask in many places if I'm doing something wrong if I'm not doing it right, if I'm not following the rules of the communities where I started posting.
The first messages as answers to my questions came from some great people who in the simplest way told me not to give up but to try to do a better and better job and the appreciation and votes will come in time.
Now the question may come if I had any strategy, and the answer is very simple, I had no strategy, I simply listened to the honest advice coming from my friends in the Hive platform.
I am definitely not that old in Hive just a few months, but I can say that Hive has become part of my life, all the time besides my family life I am thinking about Hive, thinking about what to post and in what way to show the world places, customs, traditions and share moments of my life here.
Like any other human being I make mistakes, as I did here in Hive, but for what I did wrong I answer, maybe even more harshly than I expected, but I don't complain, I carry my cross as long as I can.
True friends never abandon you, this has been confirmed to me since I have been in Hive.
I often think of not-so-complicated questions such as:
What unites these people who are part of the Hive platform?
Whose idea and how did the Hive platform come about?
Where does help come from in Hive?
Are there volunteers in Hive to support the communities here?
How have other people managed to overcome certain challenges here in Hive?
Now that we are at the end of today's post I want to tell you that I have learned my lessons from almost seven months spent here in the community, I need to go beyond prejudices and check the reasons that brought me here.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post today and I hope you enjoyed it.
