My name is sharafat and i am very happy to been part of Gems community (formed by @appreciator, @rocky1 and @upmewhale) . I am a Bangladeshi. I am working job at brosoft llc (usa based software company). I want share a great part of my life. How i know about hive (old steem) and how i came here. How hive changed my life totally.

At 2019, i was jobless. That time i saw a youtube video where i found airdrop work. In videos, described everything how to do airdrop work. Also i searched in google about airdrop and found the requirements
1.Twitter
2.Facebook account
3.Reddit account
4.Medium account
5.Linkedin account
6.Steem account
7.Youtube account
8.Telegram account.

Thats why i open steem account(now Hive). That time i did not understand this account would change my life.

Airdrop works was waste of time for me and it gave me nothing. Suddenly i saw some videos where i got information how i can earn money in steem platform. Although those videos of 2016 and all that accounts are inactive now. That time i was unknown about how steem ecosystem works.

I started to post on steem. My 1st was analysis about bitcoin and got 0.00 rewards with 7 upvotes. I thought this platform is not for me. I left it and again was busy with airdrop. After few days i had posted again my travel picture of India and got 4 dollar rewards. That was the initial boost to me and attract me into this platform.

Before joining this platform i was busy with my office work and spend time 4/5 hours everyday about forex trading analysis. From september 2020 i started my steem carrear finally. From that month i spend everyday 5/6 hours on steem. I never thought i can be a blogger. But it happened.

Sometimes i was inactive due to heavy pressure of official work. If i say you my routine everyday then you can understand how i spend time on hive.

My everyday routine

1. Wake up at 7 am and check hive now for know who or which has given upvote to my post.
2. After taking breakfast around 8.30 i went to office.
3. My office works finish at 6pm and i come back to home at 7 pm.
4. Then i write my 1st post of daily around 8 pm.
5. Then i have gone to outside for having tea and smoke.
6. I return home at 10pm and again busy with hive.
7. I have posted my 2nd post at 11 pm.
8. If possible then i write my 3 rd post.
9. After 2 am , i start to watch movie for refreshing my mind.
10. I went for sleep at 3.30 am.
11. I sleep only 4 hours everyday.

Why i sleep only 4 hours? Because i think i have lot of work to do. I have to work more for achieving goals which all about hive. Without getting success i can not sleep well.

Due to corona virus now i have no office. Government declared lock down from 26th march to 14th april. Now i am working hard everyday on hive. May be duration of lock down will extended.

I will not deny, at first i had taken this platform to make money for my future. But slowly slowly this communities changed my mind. Now i believe hive is not only a money making social media platform.

Hive is a name of Rising Brand.
Hive is a such type of platform where members earn money for his valuable contribution to make platform better.
Hive is a soul of huge community.

I can stay without smoking but can not stay without hive. It is not drug, more powerful than drug.
