If this is not the biggest plague amongst newbies, especially those just starting out, I do not know what it is. I know this, as well as many of us, that being a newbie on Hive comes with a lot of uncertainties, because I have very well been through many of them.
You brought me to do what on Hive again? Was it not to come play guitar? When you saw that I had some potential I could explore and deploy on Hive, that's when the conversations about Hive started. I was very much oblivious to what the future held (I still am), but I chose to at least try, with your help, of course.
The world we have on web2 platforms is very much different from what we have here on Hive. The notion that you must be a master at something to thrive is very prominent. However, that's not all there is to being on Hive here.
The plague that we find amongst newbies is that they think they must be perfect at what they do to fully thrive on Hive. They forget the place of mentorship and follow instructions. And just like one would go round a circle in ignorance that there's a straight path to their destination, many revolve around the same point, indicating no progress, and they will still be oblivious to it.
Of course, no one's perfect and we learn every day. Or do I say we "should" learn every day? Yes, I think. This is because as abundant as the information we have around us is, we still fail to observe and learn. This is why you'd hear Sherlock say, "You see, but you do not observe."
I joined this platform with an empty brain... not to say I have a filled brain now, but to say that overtime, I have come to understand certain things about Hive. And how else could I have done so? ...by your mentorship, my curiosity and observation, and, of course, my attempts.
I cannot say much (like I haven't already... lol) about what people miss about thriving on Hive as you have laid the blueprint here already,and also that I consider myself a newbie still. But really, in the end, it'll come down to the ability to pay attention to instructions. And frankly, they're quite simple.
Well done, brother! Accolades to you for being an amazing mentor.
Man these words hit me because they are so true.
Man you are already a boss in few months, and I can say that you have a great future ahead of you here. Kudos brotherly! Sha dey follow up with t-gold.
