During my undergraduate studies, I realized I did not possess that skill or patient spirit of teaching. My physics was sound, and I had almost all the equations in my head. Solving equations was easy in my freshman year, but what I lacked was transparency in how I arrived at my answers. I do not mean it was totally bad, but you could see me jumping steps that I had calculated in my head instead of stepwise solving the equation. This has also reflected in my daily life; providing details of the process is always an issue, as my instincts are quick to arrive at the solution. It makes me feel as though I am looking at the answer right in my eyes and expecting the learner to assimilate quickly and be on par with my speed.
Yesterday, I encountered a similar situation when I had to take my newly onboarded Hivians through making their introduction posts. It was like steering the wheel of a car on a straight road while the learner kept going in different directions other than straight. One of the newbies kept apologizing as though she was frustrating me, but then I had to muster the patience of guidance despite my wanting to log off for other engagements, knowing fully well that I could not afford them to make mistakes.
Though onboarding newbies can be a herculean task, Hive has been very beneficial to us beyond just the rewards. I have met wonderful friends through engagements with other authors, participated in hangouts, and learned perspectives on certain topics from others. I have improved my knowledge of the crypto space, Web 2 and Web 3, CEX Band DEX, etc. Prior to content creations on Hive, I used to be comfortable with my mediocre state as an author or group admin to curate contents. Hive has improved my writing skills, and I am certain the newbies that have recently joined would learn a thing or two to improve their writing skills, and thankfully, both are seasoned writers, so my work will be limited to guidance during their early phase.
My last 24 hours were fulfilled for me by being able to guide them through, as I am confident that with extra patience with them, they would have a good grasp and enjoy the block chain unhindered.
Thank you for reading. I would love to have your comments and contributions.
That's really a good job. I also onboarded one person who is my younger brother the last month and I guided him a lot. Now he is becoming good at blogging too.
That's good to hear, it's a great joy seeing people we onboarded flourishing well
