The buzz family

This writing, is just a little write up about "My Family and I" . you might ask, why didn't my title say " "My Family and I" or has a related title than " "the buzz hive family" "?.
This is why; My family is one of the most populated and buzzling family in my area. just like the bees, we all lived together as the bees live together in their Hive.
Let me not forget to tell you how many we are; My Mom and Dad, gave birth to ten (10) of us, just two of them and the are not that old. Sometimes, I wonder how the manage to reproduce us like that, you won't understand,let me explain; I am the first born in my family and I am in my early 20's, imagine someone in his early 20's heading 9 other siblings that are age range of 21-3 years ago.
Let's go back to the Buzzing part.
In this family of 12, we work and struggle together, okay let me not paint it so much, we are less privileged to have a standard living but we never cared to consider ourselves poor or vulnerable. Because we work hard everyday so that we won't lack much, just like the bees, everyone one of them goes out or stay indoor working and building their Hive.
Now the COVID-19 has taken down our economy, things became more hard than before but we didn't back down even though most of our earning means got cut off due to lockdown, we now focus our strength on farming, you can't imagine what we cultivated this farming season even though we have almost consumed all from last year. Lol
I love my family because we always buzz and more hives makes us buzzing the more.
I really want to detail how everyone of us work to saved our own hive but I want to avoid my write up showing weakness, begging or any form of spamming because it is not just a mere story and I am not here writing this for the community to petty us but to encourage others to fight any situation there into in their life's like the bees.
I know sometimes in life your efforts might not be yielding as expected and I know sometimes that life might gives you no where to stand. But always buzz like the bee until you win the fight.
Before I forget about writing what I will use 1000 hives for; I won't lie by telling you that I am going to use it to donate to the orphanage or gift the less privileged but this is the truth, my family and I need it more because it might not be enough but we love to share in any means we find ourselves to help others, without hesitation.
Keep up the good work mate, here and on hive. Keep pushing. Effort is rewarded.
Thank you. Seen your encouragement in my previous post,
You are welcome. You should try engaging with a little more depth with users, it will open up relationships and help push your account further.
Hi there, I like your never-quit attitude. Yes, sometimes life doesn't return what we would like it to, sometimes it is difficult, but by having the right attitude and showing persistence we can move closer to the things we desire. It seems your family applies that principle and works hard towards creating the best life possible. I see this in the way you have adapted in the COVID-19 scenario. I'm sorry but my vote is very small, however I like you post and wish you all the best.
I wish you the best too dear. Thanks for your awesome comment.
Thank you. Just a suggestion for you. When people take the time to comment on your posts you need to see that as an opportunity, not a hindrance. Use it as a chance to build a rapport with them, engage a little more deeply than a simple thank you. a comment on your post is an invitation from them to you to engage with them, to open up a conversation and hopefully build a relationship.
It is relationships that will help you build your profile and account. It will eventually see your posts gain better rewards also. If you build them, these things will happen, if you do not then they will not.
You also need to spend time making external comments on other people's posts. This is you sending an invitation to other people to engage with you in turn. It has to be a valid comment, relavent to the post and interesting. A simple nice post will be ignored generally, or will be responded with a simple thanks. Ask questions, opened ended ones, (that is ones that cannot be answered with a yes or no answer) and that will help them comment back.
Thanks for responding to me and I have a questions for you...What do you hope to get out of the blockchain. What do you see as the top three rewards you can achieve here?
I really appreciate you for your depth engagement with me and I will level up my activities here on hive.
For your question, I will start by saying the first time I join the Blockchain (steem). My main aim was to earn. I saw the Blockchain as a second income. But ask I stayed long here I understood that I need to learn first.
Okay to give straight answer;
- first to learn
: since I have joined hive/steem, I have taken my time to study about crypto currency and now I am sure that I can avoid be scammed even though there's many things to know
- Second earn
: my primary aim was to earn.
relate with people, share my ideas and get inspired by other's.
Well, recently the mindset of making money and earning through the Blockchain is down. Now seeing earning as a reward for the Passion I have for the Blockchain. now Just here to gain wide knowledge and view the world from my comfort zone with passionThanks for your reply.
Before earning must come relationships. Larger accounts will not vote smaller ones unless a relationship is built first. You may receive a vote or two from a voting-initiative here and there, but to gain consistent votes from real users you will need to engage with them, as you have done with me.
I suggest to simply be yourself, to engage (comment) with relevance and interest, and to add depth to your commenting, not just one comment then run.
I think you are on the right track. Make it about engagement and enjoyment and the money will come later.
All the best for the weekend.
Thank you for you advice.
The same to you dear.
Glad to see you’re posting on hive, especially during these times. There’s a lot of time for us to connect with people in whatever way we can to combat the fear agenda.
Are your other family members here on hive as well? Please give me their account names so I can try to help out with some votes! If they don’t have an account in here I have free account creation tokens I can give to you and we can create them some accounts!
I think it’s great you’ve got a big and close family, that’s wonderful. Please try to stay close like that! My family is screwed up so I hope yours stays well.
One of the things I noticed is that you’re active again here on hive which I think is amazing!. Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.
I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.
Thank you for your wonderful comment. They are not on hive, and I will work towards bringing them into hive.
Thanks once more.
