Hello Hivers: A Quick Update
It's been over a month since I last posted. Before diving into today's topic, I’d like to share a brief update on my absence. This month, I experienced the loss of four relatives, each passing away at different times, in different places, and from separate households. I attended all their funerals, which made it a time of deep reflection about life. Despite this, I also experienced moments of joy. Spending over a month in a village environment as a city boy was a unique and enjoyable experience. I engaged in all kinds of village activities you can imagine and learned many new things.
Now, coming back to today's topic, why would I like to call 2024 a year of completion?
Why 2024 is My Year of Completion
Graduating in Software Engineering
In Feb 2024, I completed my university degree in Software Engineering. You might be wondering, why is this Hive-related? Well, it's because being on Hive means I need to be active, fit, educated, employed, and well-fed. If I were stressed about my final year project at university, I might have messed up a little as a Hiver.
The Journey to Creating Investment Tokens
In January 2023, I faced a major shock from the corporate world. After working on a few projects, I realized it was time to create my own investment tokens. Why? Sometimes, it’s about seniors not supporting your plans, and other times, it’s budget issues holding back expansion ideas. I believed in my potential and wanted to soar even higher, so I knew I had to aim for more in life.
I started jotting down my ideas in PDF files, refining them as I went. Eventually, I pitched these ideas to the HiveLearners Team (which I was/am proudly a part of), and we began working tirelessly on our plans. By June 2024, we successfully launched the Panda Investment Token. For me, it’s not just another Hive-engine investment token, it’s an emotion.
At the same time, I was developing Pakx, another Hive-engine investment token with a simple yet effective working model. Its true beauty lies in its simplicity and the power of compounding.
Finding Stability in Teaching
In 2024, I came to the realization that I couldn’t rely solely on crypto and risky freelancing to put food on the table every day. I needed to settle for a less risky way of life to ensure a steady income. I spent a lot of time thinking about how I could continue working on the things I loved while also securing a stable source of income.
After much thought, I decided to pursue teaching as a profession. In Pakistan, it’s common for teachers to juggle multiple jobs teaching at one school in the morning, another in the evening, and sometimes even offering personal tutoring or coaching services. It became clear to me that this profession would allow me to continue my online work while also having a less risky, dependable source of income. So, I started teaching at a school.
Engagement
On October 28, 2024, my proposal was accepted, what we call a kind of engagement in our culture. Yes, her family agreed to our marriage in 2-3 years. She’s exactly the kind of girl I had imagined. I can now think about my future with more clarity, and many of my doubts about life have faded away. It feels like every piece of the puzzle is finally coming together, and I can see life with a new sense of direction.
We also lost love ones, three of my mother siblings died just day and weeks apart.
Good luck in fulfilling your engagement 😄. Having someone to be with in the future was motivating! 🥰
Wow i didnt know about your new job as a teacher congratz!!! Hopefully you survive 😬
Congratulations to you for completing your graduation this year. I hope you will find a job also in the offline world.
Lost 4 relatives in one month means huge and I feel sorrow for it.
And lastly, I am happy to know that your proposal was accepted and it's breaking news.

Sorry 😐 to hear about your loss bhai. Congratulations on your graduation 🎓. Ye saal apke lea kafi ajeeb raha. Umeed krta hu ke apka agla saal aacha jaye.
Loss of loved ones is really painful, but it's fate and we can't change it. Glad to see you back after a month, hope so you'll never go on such a huge holiday plan again😆
So you have basically achieved 4 main things in 2024 which is your graduation, new tokens launch, teaching job, and engagement... but where's the party bruh?
Well I'm so happy for you, keep flying, the sky is yours.
You've been through a lot this year, it's been a big roller coaster with very important and meaningful things in your life. I see quite clearly that you are moving forward, and that new challenges lie ahead, such as starting a family and assuming new responsibilities.
I am quite happy that you are moving forward, and it probably seems strange to you that someone outside your family like me is happy about it, because I allow myself to tell you that this is because I am convinced that your progress means the progress of all those who are around you (and I hope you don't feel like I'm compromising you with this, because I'm not), because I know you're a good young man.
I didn't know about your engagement, congratulations, I think you have many things to celebrate.
And as a separate point, I would like to know if you have ever written about the customs and traditions about death and the dead in your culture. If so, let me know so I can go read it, and if not, I would be quite interested in reading about that topic.
I take this opportunity, without further ado, to pay you my respects and condolences for the departure of your relatives, I hope you will assimilate their absence in a convenient way.
And good luck in this hive highlight

Many congratulations for achievements and feeling sad for your brother.
It’s so sorry to hear about such a loss within a short span. I pray for higher regards of those who have passed away.
So hive owl has been engaged. Many many congratulations to you bud. I wish this newly form bond brings in alot of happiness and cheers for you.
Crypto and online work look very glamours but they cannot replace the physical way of earning . A materialistic earning is must along with such ways of earning.
Welcome back
