Something strange happened in my area earlier this year. A certain young man was Stone to death whil the other one was burnt alive because of thiefry
Too bad. I wish thieves could learn their lesson. But, do you think such killing pattern can stop thief's from stealing
Hahahaha for were? These parten has been existing but the doesn't care. Those that it runs in their blood won't stop
Stealing is too bad. Let the stealer steal no more so says the Holy book. What a hard lesson for people to learn.
The one that was burnt to charcoal is still lying down on the road side up till
Personally, my January have not been the best of it. I tried trading futures on Binance, but unfortunately, I lost almost all my staking capital. Thats about 200 USD. 🥺
chai so sad about that, you just have to be careful losing money is not an option this days.
Yes.
Actually, I was just greedy. I made money but didn't know when to close for the day.
I must have learnt from that mistake
ohhhh so sorry about that, that's a great lesson please try not to allow greed take over you.
I'm truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've faced in January. Losing your staking capital in the Binance trading must be tough, and I want you to know that I sympathize with your situation.
Thank you dear.
I was just greedy. Because at a time, I was at 42 dollars profit.
I should have stopped trading at that point. But I wanted more 🥺🤦
200usd,? Hia. How did it happened?
So sorry for that my dear... But I believe that you can make it up. Just be patient and learn more trading strategies..
Damn. Was it using leverage also? Because i once tried leverage and yeah, not ever again. 😐
I had already mapped out how I would start January, but plans changed. Truth be told, I am even having second thoughts about February, but I won't let that discourage me.
That's the spirit.
Re-strategize and face it fren.
You need to start taking control. I think the major challenge is no longer there! So being able to plan your February and sticking to your plans are really important going forward.
Yes, I have everything planned, starting from my sleeping hours. Waking up early is something I really need to work on. I've been quite relaxed since I haven't been going to the office.
making plans is very crucial to success at least you are on the right path, just keep pushing harder.
Thank you for your encouraging words! I truly believe in the power of planning and pushing through challenges. Your support means a lot to me, and I'm determined to keep pushing harder towards my goals.
I love your determination. Be strong, you can make it especially as you're not dwelling on the past
January has not been good for me, as nothing went according to plan.
my dear, we still have few days left and something great can still happen 🥳🥳🥳
Yes. About 5 days to go.
However, we want to know how the past days of the month went
What really happened? Lets talk about it. It was a tough month for me too
Some family members came around, chores increased, and I got carried away by daily activities. Hopefully, February will be better for me.
But you won mostly.
However January is taunted to be a difficult year
What and what dear
This January, I've found myself being unusually inactive on Hive. I rarely engage, as I got carried away by other activities that demanded my attention.
Were they activities that gave you some cool cash
Not really, I made
Zero amount of Money from them, It is something i couldn't avoid more like responsibility.
ohhhh so sorry
sorry. But why?
The latest most trending news in my community is about a woman who picked a phone while walking along the street with her husband with the intention of calling the owner and immediately turned to poo. Have you hear the news?
Haaa really??? I haven't heard about this. When and where did it happen and what was people's reaction when it occured.
Its true talk o. It happened along Umuikaa junction. And they burnt the jeep man that set the trap along with his Jeep. According to the man, the woman is now in India and it's irreversible. I wish the woman listened to her husband
i was really disappointed,in my efforts to get a NIN, which has proved abortive up until today,the crowd there is nothing to write home about
You have not gotten the NIN till now? That is really bad. Which means you have spent many days trying to get it. I think they give people number as you arrive. Or you normally go late?
the last time I was there,I went by 7:36 am,I don't think that was so late,was it?
I did manage to get one, but When I used the NIMC app to cross-check it, I discovered that the details are not mine. Getting a new one has been terribly hard.
absolutely, they're making it so frustrating for the people
Lol but don't you think we gotta let them village people breathe, I mean they are not totally responsible for every problem we encounter don't you think so?
that's true,but I was referring to the Nin personnels
Ooopsss I didn't read well.
no, probs, it's normal
Getting NIN has really been frustrating with stories about network no working for months.Nigeria is a very funny and frustrating place to live in.
that's the country we live in
It's really crazy
My business has already kicked off with trainings. Like today I attended a Seminar that discussed and emphasized much on setting SMART goals and reaching them. This is the second training for my business building this year 2024.
Amazing. Such business meetings and workshops are very important, helping you to take the right steps when you should. Which company organized the seminar?
Today's Seminar was organized by PWAN
that's quite a good start for the year
Attending a seminar on setting SMART goals sounds like a productive and insightful experience. It's great to hear that your business is already kicking off with training initiatives.
Meaningful seminar sessions help to expose someone to new opportunities and equips you to take the bold steps at the right time.
Please Mom, what the business all about? Is it just for ladies? 🤔🤔🤔
I achieved one personal learning goal in the beginning of the year that I wasn't sure I was gonna be able to do as well as I did.
Wow that's great. What's the goal all about
Just school stuff.
that is cool, congratulations
Thank you.
you're welcome
Congratulations. That is a sign of progress. What are the remaining goals you would like to work on? Success in one goal means is really motivates one to work on the next one, isn't it?
yes!
Success is also a motivation
Yeah many goals. Stay positive and find a new job maybe.
That would be great. What happened to your current job? Staying positive is important to achieve every other goal.
congratulations is in order.
I hope you do even more.
Thanks. I can't do less I guess. 😀
A big congratulations to you. Keep it up. Am wishing you the best for the remaining days of the month
My January scatter scatter
Ahh!
What really
Na so so sickness and burial I go
Bad news!
Pls why?
really,how and why
Scatter scatter for me no be small thing, How have you been coping Ma?
So sorry. Sometimes, its like that. I hope you will be able to eventually bring everything under control.
It's a pleasure to be part of this weekend show, for this January 89% of my has been accomplished and I thank God for that. But am looking forward for more capital to start up my business on ground.
Thats impressive. Am wishing you the best
well it's good to be back here actually,I have been able to meet new people this month,and it's been fun really fun
So tell me, who did you meet this year and what positive impact do they have on you?
well I had to change my school,to another one,to take my waec,and I met very intelligent and competitive students and friends like me, it's really being amazing
Great, meeting new people is a beautiful way to live.
How do you think you performed this January
i can give myself a good start for the timr being
You are welcome my dear friend, so how many friends have you on hive?
uhhm, how do you mean
🤔🤔🤔
... and you will meet many more positive minded people here.
I really hope to
Ohh, why is procrastination eating me up? when will I learn to avoid such? if possible, I nearly flog myself this month as Avive airdrop paid people millions and thousands while myself overlooked it. Who else experienced same?
that was terrible, but all hope is not lost as u know very
Yea, once there is life, there is
that's the point
But, did you experience same or have you ever been affected by procrastination? Tell me
What really happened? I thought you participated in the airdrop, or did you miss any of the tasks? Let me know about it. Procrastination is actually wrong and you can over come it.
You're right. Can you tell me the secret? It's eating me up. Actually I participated but, I don't know if my name would be among the next list. Have procrastination ever affected you?
I actually tried to build self discipline. That means i hardly allow anything to get in the way of my plans and schedules. I stick to it unless there is nothing else I could do
Really?
What happened?
Why did you not participate in the airdrop
HAhaha, I participated o but okx exchange delayed my verification. Maybe, the next badge
My dear 😞😞😞, it really pains me to my bone marrow because I didn't take it very serious and now, look at it😭😭😭. I few days to the time, I got a dream that avive became the talk of the day, but at that time it was already late 😭😭😭😭
Chai, sorry, as for me, I overlooked it thinking it's not gonna hammer.
NA WA ooh, is this now it ended? Well, I thank God that I was involved in other things that's profited me and will profit me in the nearest future 😊😊😊..
Also, okx exchange delayed my verification
That was another stress on its own, hmmmmmmmmm. My dear sister, it's is well ooh, even as we look for a greater opportunities...
Same here,I remembered when you came to the office and told me about it. I didn't take it seriously thereby missing the chance to get some cool cash.
Yea, mine is even better than yours because I mined but wasn't all that serious with it and when I understood the project, it was already late and okx exchange also delayed my verification. I don learn my lesson. U nko?
my dear you see that procrastination na part of my problem
Really, please can you tell me something powerful you missed as a result of procrastination?
my dear I will say procrastination is affecting my day to day living honestly, I will keep on saying I will I will.
I think this five days I will use it to plan myself for February, let me assume that Feb is my January.
Thats great too.
A big win in February can cover all the losses of January
yes I believe so, but I have to put in hard work
Thats an act of intelligence!
Do it, start now immediately after tonight's talkingpoint and never allow procrastination to eat you up
Never will procrastinating scatter my month again
Friday 26 January already, 5 days left to achieve my set goal of acquring more hive each month of the year. MUST achieve my set goal.
Sayings of hope!
May your God help you to achieve your set goal before the month runs out
Prayers with good work = success
How many Hive have you set as goal to acquire each month. Its important to make your goals specific and measurable. So how many Hive could you acquire - 20, 50, etc
you are absolutely correct
Beautiful plans.
Hope you also plan on acquiring more #Leo too?
I had planned to start going to the office by Monday, but something came up that will prevent me from going. It seems like my village people are seriously after me! 😅
Please, what's the bridge? Can't you jump and pass?
Am seriously thinking about it, seems like I'll jump and pass ooo.
Maybe you can push it to the next day. Sometimes, our plans do not go as we would have wished. It happens to all of us.
That's very true, things don't seem to always work out the way we may have planned.
A lot of unforeseen occurrences could change everything
That's very true, life is full of uncertainties.
Things some time don't work out the way we've planned but a determination to see them through and continue pushing hard makes us succeed.
My dear, please in this 2024, No gree for village people ooh. E get y 🤔🤔🤔
Aaaahhh village people don see pepper from Nigerians.They are responsible for everything, every time.
Haha, it seems like my village people have enrolled in a Pepper Engineering program! They're taking their job very seriously. Maybe I should send them a 'Spice of Life' manual to diversify their tactics. 😄
Hahaha, tell them to join HIVE,it will keep them busy and help them refocus on something fruitful.
hahahaha.
My year started on a high with lots of expectations but as I was outlining plans for the year especially in business, I learned that the exchange rate has changed again and so I had to restrategize and drop some plans.
The exchange rates have been terrible in this part of the world. 1 dollar now exchanges in excess of NGN1400. Its really a terrible situation which has had led to massive inflation. Everything is very costly now. Please what type of business are you into?
I import plant based oils.My clients keep complaining about the frequent price reviews.I have no choice but to increase prices so as to reflect current market realities.
Which type of business are you into? And what's your next big plan?
I am into sales of plant based oils and I am planning on restrategizing so as to still remain in business.
Be ready to face the storm, this is just January, tighten your seat belt, lolz.
That's just the way to go in a situation like this.
My business has been struggling since last year but with my joining HIVE a lot of the timeI spent worrying about it has been taken over by my engagement in HIVE.I can relate with like minds on the platform
Seriously being here can help one forget about so many things. Thanks for Hive
Gainsyou are correct
So sorry bout your business.
May businesses in Nigeria are suffering. It's because of poor government monetary and fiscal policies. I hope you earn enough from hive and revamp your business.
Hive have also helped me in many ways deal with this situations, that includes me.
I just hope so, everyone is affected and we are all complaining while the politicians keep smiling to the bank.
Am telling you, with hive, one can easily overcome stress. But, is there any hope left?
Yes so.One must turn his lemons to lemonade.
At least, I was able to buy a new power bank, make my hair and get myself new clothes. That's my new achievement's so far
These achievements are much ooo,I can't remember when last I changed my wardrobe but with what NEPA is doing, I will need a power bank just like you.
Nepa can't be trusted in this our country. So, am enjoying my power bank right
Those are fantastic achievements! A new power bank, a fresh hairstyle, and new clothes – sounds like you're treating yourself well. Small victories matter, and it's great that you've invested in things that bring you joy and comfort.
One needs to invest on herself first because looking good is a good business. Hope am right
It reflects self-care and can contribute to a more successful and fulfilling life. So, yes, you're right – looking good is indeed good business!
That's why I needed to invest on myself and get myself the needful devices
awesome indeed, enjoy ma
Yea, and I can testify to such achievements. So, what's your next target?
next is to get a smartphone and build a home
This is reasonably some great achievement. After all, it has not been easy for you all this while, right?
Sure. It a rough 2023 but ended up in in a
About Investments and savings.
I plan on saving up 10k LP and 3k HP before the end of the year, this is my major Investments plan.
To achieve this, I plan on powering up 120 Leo every Sunday evening.
I plan to allow my hive power grow from payout from post, I plan not to power down this year.
So far, I have kept to these, and I hope to continue in same might.
best of wishes
Uour plans are great and achievable. But, how do you intend getting 120 Leo to power up per Sunday?
I have never powered done both Hive and leo. Its impressive to see you set those goals too. Stake more and more and allow them to grow. In the future, you will smile.
There was a funny aspect of what happened at the Realtors Seminar I attended today. I don't think I can remember seeing where adults were called on a roaster with long note exercise book where we entered our names to come for food.
It's a funny and slightly ridiculous twist, isn't it? I guess even professionals need to officially RSVP for lunch. Definitely a memorable moment at the seminar
Yes ooo. It's quite memorable and a talking point for me too. At least I have made a Thread - funny!
Hahhaha, that's funny
Chai,, it's taking you back to the 70's and 80's.Was it full scalp book or 20 leaves exercise book?
I said it's Long Note Higher Education book hahaha ha Chai those people amazed me
I was highly disappointed, waiting for my turn to be called to cone and collect a plate of food. I have not experienced that before, have you?
Anyway, I learned a lesson from that - orderliness. But still we are adults., it's like going too extreme
Hahahaha. You know that hunger is in the land. And, you also know how the supposed 'adults' will start misbehaving if everything is not kept in check. I think the organizers are acting based on experience.
Hahahaha, it must be based on experience my dear, and now that a bag of rice I almost N60000 those people spoilt my mood, and not that thd food full plate ooo.
Nice talking point topic. Here is my first entry.
One of the things I have already done this January is Diversify my crypto business to try new areas. My main target is to expand my income opportunities.
I joined some of the Binance launchpool projects since early January. I have participate in 3 Launchpool events. The last one was for the coin called ALT. The coin was farmed for 6 days. I staked my BNB - a total of 5.0 BNB. I was able to farm 132 ALT after the 6 days period.
I was able to swap my ALT coins after the coin was listed on January 25th.
My main goal of looking for another crypto income opportunity is that it will help me to increase my Hive and Leo portfolios. As I earn more through staking and farming, I will invest them in Leo and Hive and gradually increase my stake in those coins.
I also hope to have extra money to spend on daily expenses without having to sell my Hive everyday.
What do you think of this strategy?
This is great.
What a great start you have for 2024.. wow!
As the month is ending, Do you think you achieved all your goals for the first month of the year?
I will say yes. I achieved 85% of the goals I set. I learned that it is better to set small goals and try to achieve them and that was what I did. I think in the next 5 days, I will achieve the rest.
Beautiful. That's to say that you have goals for the first quarter of the year right
this is really interesting,and I can not help but feel encouraged
Yes it is encouraging. Have you tried anything new this January. Also as a new user, how do you see the Threads platform. Any challenges?
yh, actually I tried making new friends and it's been going well,uhhm actually I don't think I have any challenges for now,how about you
awayncouraged to do what?
that people are making fruitful efforts in crypto
yeah. When you see people win, you get encourage
that's absolutely true
Cool one indeed.
I also mined ALT and am grateful
onHow many of the ALT did you earn?
Thats really cool! When did you sell your ALT/ I sold quickly after the listing when the coin was NGN369. Surprisingly, the coin later grew to 480. Did you see it?
wow!
That's really surprising. Normally, after listing, the value decreases.
That is the reason I normally sell my farmed tokens immediately. But this one surged and maintained a high price even till now.
So with what just happened, what will you do next time. Will you see off immediately or will you hold a little
I thought your January has not started yet lol
unfortunately, it started already, and we are on top speed heading to February
Yes you are right. I was not able to do all, but I was able to do the staking business aspect.
He told me his Jan will start soon lol
Hahahahaha. I was able to start some aspects and not all
Okay you really did very well tho not 100 percent well
It has. You know the staking and farming stuff could be done while on the go. So it was not affected so much by the visit.
yes that's true, at least you saw something
You have it all worked out for January, these strategies are excellent. Enjoy your trading
This year, I made it my priority to dig more into crypto and am happy to announce that I have acquired 3 different coins from binance farming and have also earn more. What about you?
i would also love to
Thats impressive! You can
how about airdrops,
Am bagging them o. No dull moment again
Powerful earnings
This topic is sweet but am tired, good night, friends. Love you all
So soon 🤔🤔🤔, good night mummy 😊😊😊..
This January I decided to turn all my disappointment of the previous year into ambitions
Great strategy
Did you have many disappointments last year? Tell me some of them sir
I was disappointed to know that my constant health issues is as a result of my ailing right side spinal cord.
hello everyone. Glad to join you here. Have been battling with network
welcome fren.
I was just looking around for you
Don't mind the network. I almost cried tonight
eyaa!
So sorry fren
It's okay. Have already wiped away
So sorry about that, but happy you finally made it. Welcome once again.
Thanks so much. Am happy to be here. Almost crying when I called
One other thing that happened this January is the visitors I hosted. My Inlaws came down and spent some time in my place. It was not easy as it badly affected my availability to do business or any type of work.
So I was always taking them somewhere to see someone, or to the market to buy something. No regrets whatsoever, but the visit affected my activity and I was not able to do everything I wanted to do.
But now they are gone, its time to resume fully. I resumed fully 2 days ago and from here, I will do more.
Have you hosted a visitor recently? How did it go?
It was truly wonderful hosting some family members, even though it did have an impact on my business. But hey, family comes first, right? I'm sure they won't stop talking about how well they were received.
They wont at all. We made our sister proud too. She will be more respected over there. No regrets at all. If given another chance, we will do more than we did self.
Making our sister proud and contributing to her respect means a lot. No regrets here either. If another chance comes our way, count on us to do even more. Family comes first, and I'm glad we could make a positive impact.
Yes I hosted some family members at the beginning of the year though it was just for 2 days but it was engaging.
Yours was really a short time. Mine was two weeks. We had fun and really shared a lot. The only thing was that it affected how i would have loved to start the year. But then, no regrets. We do it for family. Isn't it?
uhhm I can't say directly that I have, since I'm still under my parents,but I have indirectly,and as a younstar I find It fun though
Its interesting. Its a great way to show hospitality too. Just that when the visit is extended, it might affect your personal schedules. Can you tell me the persons that you have hosted as guest together with your parents?
well,the last one was my mum's pioneer mate,when she was in the full time service
I can relate to your experience, sometime towards the end of last year, I hosted a visitor that is from another city, and they wanted to see all the stuff that makes my city talk of the Town. It was hectic for me.
Now this is my point.. I spent most of the time taking them from one point to another. We usually spend the whole day in places like markets, etc. It was fun, stressful and time-consuming. But no regrets though.
For the remaining 5 days of January, I have a lot planned and i will work hard to achieve them. Its better to itemize them here as follows:
Every other thing can come inbetween. 5 days is not such a long time, but i really plan to make the most of it. January should end on a high note and this is what I want to achieve in the next 5 days to prepare the ground for more success in February.
that's awesome
Which one of them do you think I cannot achieve. Pick the most difficult.
uhhm,I can't say but given the fact that we can't predict things, I'll say that of 2 new thread users,but nobody knows
Am seriously longing for the meetup. But, how do you intend to make 50k within the next 5 days? Please, am interested o
For the remainder of this month, I intend to improve my engagement on HIVE and see how I can bag some LEO tokens and some other tokens.
Good one.its achievable. Struggle harder
yes.
It's very achievable
Thanks a lot my sister.
Great plans.
Just plan to engage more on threads.
Again, make more longs posts using the inleo fronted.
Another trick is joining the premium class.
Thank you so much for these insights,I will work on them.
Like in December 2023 :)
Yes.
We are reviewing January
Is it already January? Am I missing something lol :)
