RE: I'm quitting

You quit your super-cool job? You better not end up in an office somewhere. I can relate to wanting to get out into the countryside though. I made a mistake when I moved to a relative metropolis. I thought it would be fun but mostly it is just noisy and well, of course Covid makes life even worse in a big city.

Some pretty awesome shots you got up there buddy. It brings me back to my 4x4 days in Thailand where I went to lots of places that other people couldn't go and man were those some great times.

Sort:  

Yeah, finished up a month ago. I'll work again at some stage but for now I'm enjoying myself too much. I'm lucky to live here and have so many good options all within my own State. I'm going to be making good use of them.

What was the "super-cool" job?

I was an executive in the property industry for 20 years, had my own development company for several of those, but for most of the 20 years worked for a large international property group. I was fortunate to be good at what I did, or maybe I should say, fortunate to be the man who worked hard to be good at what I did.

New horizons though...I was hoping for a getaway but...Three solid roles are on the table and I'm working through them. If none work out I'll be off to the wilderness for a bit. If they do...Well, back to that fortunate man who works hard to be good at what he does. I should know over the next week I guess.

works hard to be good at what he does

Forgive my saying so, but a man does not get where you are by JUST working hard. If that were the case, most of us in this room would be enjoying the same level of accomplishment and freedom you are. Might I suggest, and this is me without knowing much about you, but you have not just put in the hard work, but INSPIRED hard work, INTELLIGENT hard work, FOCUSED hard work, and CONFIDENT hard work. And if we could bottle THAT stuff, then it might go for a very pretty price.

Ok, well I agree completely. I just don't like to push it in people's faces you know? I mean yeah, inspired, intelligent, focused and confident are all things I've been from time to time but also: Knucklehead, jealous, vindictive, brutal, petty, mean, ridiculous and a million other not so valuable things. I guess for me life has been a journey of experience and enlightenment. I've succeeded a lot and failed more. I guess I'm just me, G-dog, and it works sometimes, and doesn't work at others.

Thank you though.

Awww. Well, keep it up. The NOT being a knucklehead too much of the time seems to be working for you. And I'm impressed you organically built up this whole deal you've got here, without investing, on top of the busy work schedule you have. We've been here the same amount of time, but I've been off and on. Mostly off. Life, I guess? And you don't even upvote yourself. It's insane. You're one to follow, in more ways than one.

Yeah, my knuckleheadiness seems to pay dividends. 😊

I've taken hive to exchanges and traded, increased and powered it back up later. That's helped build. I'm doing that with 15,000 hive right now actually. Mostly it's organic. Hard work, and yeah I mainly don't self-vote. Have now and then but rarely.

I just deploy my knucklyness and hope things happen. 🤔
