My HIVE "DISCOVERY" & "PLEASANT EXPERIENCE."

Greetings, great and wonderful people of HIVE. It is my pleasure to participate for the first time in this great weekly contest put together by #hiveghana. This contest topic is so interesting because it affords me the opportunity to reminisce on my hive experiences. Please read along as i share my discovery and experience of Hive. It all started some time back.

The discovery of HIVE

_{At the seminar}

On this beautiful, sunny day of Saturday, 5 November 2022, i responded to an invitation by @fokusnow for a seminar at a newly constructed hotel and conference center, infact the best center the city could offer. Frankly I was sceptical of the seminar titled hive impact community because of my past experience with steemit. But @fokusnow said many great and good things about hive, his persuasion eliminated by douths and aroused my interest to be at the seminar.

A program that is scheduled for 12noon, but I reluctantly arrived at the venue few minutes before 1pm. The security at the gate refused me entry, until I called the host on phone and he confirmed my identity. One of the security officer led me to the hive seminar hall. There at the seminar i met a lot of people. @fokusnow and @ijelady said many good things about HIVE, really I liked what I was hearing, though as at then I couldn't understand everything they said about decentralized blockchain, web3, thread, communities and how you can be in-charge of your personal growth. All those speech at the seminar was complicated and confusing as at then. Now it's a whole lot of fun.

You can thrive on Hive with these helpful tips

After the seminar i went to fokusnow office for more clarifications, back then everything seemed complicated and difficult to understand.
First I started following the easiest tips, gradually I progressed. I received lots of assistance from more experienced hivers, and any hiver is more than willing and eager to offer assistance whenever you need it. At this point @sammyhive, @heculeand and @luchyl are very helpful, I appreciate. Reading others blogs, engagements: comments also helps.
I started by replying other people post or engaging with them, in that way I came to know different cultures, location, and friends. Gradually I started writing post of few words. I downloaded Twitter and discord apps, it is fun. You are also rewarded for engagements and creative contents. Consistency and hard work pays, HIVE is the place to be. Here are some pictures of the November seminar.

If i could turn back the hands of time! but unfortunately that is the sad reality of life, because nobody can. We can only keep wishing. I could personally wished I had known HIVE early before November of 2022.

I trust you have learned one or two things from my hive jorney, so far. Have a nice one

I thank the organizers of this contest @hiveghana
