RE: The delusions of time and the reality of luck on Hive

in LeoFinance4 years ago

I saw a few of that style comment on your post and on other peoples post. Fair is only in the eye of the person crying it is not fair. They fear trying to be consistent, they fear leaving their rewards to power them up. They fear taking that special dinner money and investing it in themselves. Most people that see unfair are the ones afraid to invest in themselves.

I joined 8 months after you, but I joined under different circumstances and for different reasons. I don't remember when I first found your post/content, but I enjoyed it. You put the time in, you invested not in just Hive but in yourself, and it shows by your success and growth.

In a post not long ago you spoke about fear, risk and uncertainty, those comparing the lack of their growth compared to yours should find and read it. Those that think you are rich should read some of your older post. Such as the one where you first started talking about buying a house, then they may understand a bit more.

Yes luck has some part in it all, but not as much as people think. Work has a lot more to do with it than luck. If they were really serious about the lack of their growth compared to yours then they would ask more salient questions such as, what are the top five things that you feel led to your success and growth on Hive, but they don't they just say it's unfair or you got lucky, or you are rich.

One of the people complained on another post because it had too much engagement ...

But they never do. I have a few ex-pro hockey player friends who have earned a fair amount in their careers. People say "they got it easy" without considering the 15 years of unpaid pre-work they did from childhood with no certainty of outcome, nor the damage to their bodies from the game itself. Easy..

When they ask, I tell them. Very few have ever followed the advice. I can get a gym trainer and nutritionist to tell me exactly what I need to do and eat to get into shape. I still have to do and eat those things for result. That's the hard part.
