Say “THANK YOU” to your Mentor(s) on Hive
Everyone’s journey on Hive is truly unique: some people had to experience the full wrath of Hive watchers and constant post muting by community moderators before they learnt how to navigate Hive better, yet for others it was a smooth ride. Few others had to lose their accounts permanently before they understood the severity of creating plagiarized contents or misplacing their keys. But, in all, we get a better knowledge of Hive when we begin to learn from those who have been in the system.
3 days ago, I made a post which I titled, "WHY I HATE HIVE."
From the title, cover photo and introduction, one would think I wrote a controverted piece, however, if you read through, you’ll understand better.
In this piece, I created a fictional character (a newbie) who expressed his hatred for Hive in the harshest way. However, upon cross examination of his reasons, you’ll discover that these reasons could have easily been avoided if he was open to learning and if he had a mentor to guide him.
While reading through people’s comments on the piece I wrote, I noticed something very amazing.
From the testimony of my “commenters”, I read about the struggles our mentors had to undergo in order to lift us up the ladder of success on Hive. Some of them had to spend sleepless nights just to see that we do the right thing and some had to answer both relevant and irrelevant questions from us. Even when we made mistakes, they corrected us and still continued to guide us.
Thus, thinking really hard about this, I feel there is a need to always say THANK YOU to our wonderful Mentors for the sacrifice they’ve made for us on this wonderful platform. Although many of us tell them personally or privately, I don’t think it will be a bad idea if we tell them a BIG THANK YOU on this space, right?
YES! YES! YES!
So, let’s get to it!
Let’s try out this exercise!
In the comment section below, say THANK YOU to your mentor or mentors on Hive: It may be someone who assisted you from the beginning in this journey or someone who assisted you half way (their sacrifice is/was not in vain).
Tell them thank you in your unique way (remember to tag them so that they get to see it), and remember to invite at least one other person so that we all join in this wonderful exercise.
I look forward to a day all Hivers/Hivians will create (a day in a Month or a day in a Year) to celebrate our MENTORS ON HIVE.
- I appreciate all who'll take out time to read other people's testimonies and reply them.
- I also appreciate all the wonderful curators who'll help to curate wonderful testimonies in the comment section.
- You (reading this) are also one of those amazing curators and I appreciate YOU!"

Thank you so much @starstrings01 for your guidance, mentorship and for bringing me to this wonderful platform.
Your sacrifice wasn't in vain and I remain ever grateful 🙏
@merit.ahama and @jaydr I'll love to hear from you 😁
Thank God brother! it is him we should thank. For without him in our lives, we would not be where we are this moment.
That's right, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't thank the people we see 🥰🥰.
He told us that how can we say we love him and our brother whom we see daily we don't love him? 👌💯.
You are indeed a star, so just keep shining and give light to as many as God has blessed you 🤩🥰🥰.
Exactly brother
God first
But then, He also acted through you 🥰
This is a really beautiful idea and I so much love it.
I want to shout out to my beloved big sister @merit.ahama for her continuous support and encouragement to strive in this wonderful platform.
I want to also thank @starstrings01, @ksam and my beloved partner @tengolotodo for your inspiration through words also, it has been a really great privilege getting to know you guys.
And I want to specially appreciate my beloved @dreemsteem and her beautiful port of Dreemers for their love and encouragement, it has been quite a memorable journey knowing everyone through #dreemport.

Haha that's right 😊
Awwww ❤️❤️ Pleasure knowing you on hive
❤️❤️❤️
Mentors are wonderful people. Having a mentor is great, they help you achieve sooner what may take you months or years to achieve. I just joined hive last month, and I find the platform overwhelming, I really do need guidance.
True!
What may take you 1 year to understand if you intend to do it on your own, with a mentor you can understand it within a month. So, yes! They are really important.
Wow! Your blog is still empty and without any post. I'll suggest you should begin with an Introductory post.
Post in a Community like OCD or here, or any Community of your choice.
Try to write an introduction of yourself, of at least 300 word count. The Introductory post should have 4 major features
Try to use at least 3 pictures, or at least 5 if possible.
Use the tags #introduceyourself #myintroduction #introduction #newbie ... among other tags.
After this you can find the communities that are in-line with your skills and hobbies, and grow in the communities.
I hope you find this helpful
Thank you the info @ksam. I have been taking my time to understand hive. I will be publishing my intro post very soon
You're welcome
It's a good thing to do.
Thank you. I have a question pertaining to beneficiaries, I noticed that I have odd and hiveonboard as default beneficiary. So my question is, should remove or leave them.
You can remove it if you want
It doesn't matter
Thank you
Feel free to message me if you have any question
I will thank you. This officially makes you my mentor☺☺, my bigger boss..
Hahahaha
Be Calming down ooo
I had started Hive with a few knowledge only but as days goes by, I learned additional knowledge about Hive.
So first let me thank @bloghound, @cindee08, @chichi18, and @jeansapphire for their support and help on my first month here.
I am thankful to @tpkidkai and other active members of @hiveph discord community for sharing their informative knowledge about Hive too. I learn so many things from them.
Lastly, I'm super thankful to Kuya @tengolotodo, for always reminding me on what I need to do and not to do here in Hive. I'm super grateful to him for his support.
aww salamat inday, if I can pass on what I learnt to someone who listens like you, then it is my pleasure:)
Have a wonderful weekend!

It's so wonderful for you to share your journey on Hive with us and the experiences you've had in your earlier months on Hive. One of the best ways to show appreciation to those who mentored us, is by growing and becoming mentors to others ourselves. I believe they'll be more happy with that.
Greetings dear friend
Yeah, I agree. Growing and helping others by what we learned from our mentors is really a great way to appreciate the support they gave to us when we were once a newbie or someone who still lacks knowledge on other things.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
Yes! With time and consistency, we will grow and we will help others to grow.
Have a lovely weekend to you dear friend. 🥰
Thanks my friend. Enjoy your weekend
❤️
I saw the post title "why hate hive" I was stunned at first until read through the write to understand the idea.
My special appreciation and gratitude will go to @starstrings01 he was a colleague before becoming my mentor. I was invited to hive by him. If I'm being honest, I won't have made it this far without is great mentorship and his contributions to my hive experience. While struggling at a time he delegated HP to me so that I could post more often. I have disturbed his life so much that I became a hard stone to swallow but he never got tired.
The funny thing is, I'm not the only one he is mentoring, kudos to you @starstrings01 you will forever have my gratitude and respect ✌️✌️✌️
@starstrings01 has mentored a lot of people on Hive and he does this mentoring simultaneously. Him suppose don slim by now 🥲 because mhen, this isn't an easy task at all.
I still dey disturb him life sef 😅😅😅

Your writings are great (I wish I can write like that).
You are Amazing.
Hmmmm @starstring01,on behalf of myself and my fellow newbies I want to say thank you.
(Because e remain small you for they hold us for hand individually if to say e possible.You go teach us till even person way e hard for go excel lol) thank you so much guy for your constant motivation and guidance on how to strive on this wonderful Platform, I know how many times I had wanted to quit but then I'll see a 2k kind words from you reminding me why I need not quit,😀😀😀thank you for always having us in mind .

Thank you all so much, it's been a great privilege knowing you guys !!
Thank you to everyone one of you , you've made the journey here a lot more easier,I hope to keep learning and meeting more great people.🤗
Thank you for those very nice words and I'm glad my work inspires you and also that my guides are helpful. We need to help the newbies, otherwise what's the purpose of being here?
Keep up the good work and have fun :)
Thank you 😊
It is always wonderful to see the oldies on Hive sacrifice their time to educate and guide Newbies on Hive. Truly, only those with good hearts can embark on this strenuous task.
I appreciate you for the good work you do on Hive. Greetings @erikah
Greetings to you too and thanks for the nice words 😀
You are highly welcome 😊

Well, 😅 thou shall not underestimate me oo. I have many sides that I can't even count. Trouble making, I rarely do 🙃 Just trying to flow in on every kind of conversation, actions, niche and many other sha. That's by the way.
Thank you for the commendation 😇
Seriously, you follow who know road and its good you're following them and learning from them. Learning will surely guarantee you growth and with growth you'll be able to succeed very well on Hive.

I really don't know where I'd have been here on Hive if not for my amazing mentors on this great community.
First of all, my dearest friend @royalpeek who introduced me to hive and showed me my first ropes, always encouraging and inspiring me to grow on the platform.
Also, to my other great mentors who have been a great source of encouragementand support to me. I'm really grateful to you.
In order for me not to write an entire epistle with so many chapters and verses, I'll limit my gratitude to a few words.
Thank you so kindly @starstrings01 @josediccus @wolfofnostreet @isnochys @prayz @josediccus @ryzeonline @mipiano bruno-kema @khaleesii @stevenson7
@nkemakonam89 @ifarmgirl @erikah @hopestylist @tpkidkai and @tengolotodo

Words fail me to express my genuine and most sincerest gratitude to @ksam and @starstrings for all they did for me the time I joined hive, and up until this moment I am still learning.
Thank you so much for mentoring and holding my hand on Hive.
I am so grateful
You are always welcome dear
Keep growing and keep the fire burning, if the fire off... use torch light 😅😅😅 continue moving.
Growth will be assured 😁
And by the way its starstrings01
Oh. I am so sorry.
Thanks for the correction. I will use torchlight indeed if the fire goes out.
@starstrings01 I am indeed grateful for your mentorship and guidance during the entry period and after that.
I am thankful for your support and corrections. God bless you greatly
This post made me recall all the times @malopie gave me a lecture about hive. I remeber him ringing in my ears " dont click random links", "be consistent", "never share your keys", and every other thing you could think of.
About asking the irrelevant questions, im definitetly guilty. Sometimes I even did it on purpose.
My profound gratitude goes to you. I wouldnt have done it without you.
THANK YOU
He did so well by informing you about those important information.
Many Newbies won't understand the importance of these information at the beginning stage, but when they've been in the system for a long time, they'll realise how important those information are.
Hahaha
Guilty as charged, we await your sentence from the Judge 😅😅
Thank you so much much sharing your testimony with us 🥰
I was among those newbies that didnt take it serious. The only rule i never joked with was the one he gave about plagairism.
Its always a pleasure.
You're most welcomed,it was a pleasure being able to communicate what I know to someone with quite the listening ears.
Oh really? I see, now I know better.
yes! you do.
i hope i wont get scolded for that.......

First of all, I would like to thank you @ksam for writing this article because it has brought our attention to our mentors.
A good mentor is the source of our progress. From whom I have learned even a single word, I consider him as my mentor.
I would like to thank @amberkashif who helped me a lot in my startup. She is adorable. This girl held my hand and taught me to move forward. And I want to thank @ayesha-malik who has helped me a lot on this platform. She answers all my questions even though she is busy. She is the queen of hive pakistan.💕
And I would also like to thank @dlmmqb because he helped me to understand every complicated point. He is such a highly intelligent.
He has very high dreams and may Allah fulfill them.✨
And finally I want to thank @whangster79 who I have only talked on the comments but I have learned a lot from his article. Every word of his article is interesting. Whatever questions I ask him in the comments, he answer them. So I also consider him as my mentor.💕
God bless all of you. You guys can win this world with your words and nature. A big applause to all of you.👏
Absolutely amazing~ :)
Never expected, and yet always appreciated your interest and enthusiasm. The questions you have after reading some of my recent blog post is the right path of thought I try to emphasize in the end of every experience we have... is to always try and enjoy the NOW.
There is a reason why they call "present" another word for present time = Now. Maybe its a gift to understand the present. :) Weird isnt it?
You deserve this compliment and I hope to learn more from your future articles. 💕
What you want to convey in your article reaches your watchers perfectly.
Haha nah, The way you think about the present and the now is not strange, your observations of different aspects makes you more unique.✨
Maximum power thumbs up!!!~~ 👍👍
Ultra Mega Hyper Thanks, and Amazing how its all falling into place.
Hmm You're truly welcome 💕
Hehe I am not queen cutie but I have learned a lot from my mentors, all of them are in #dreemport now. Help others as much as you can because kindness is the only virtue to be counted ❤ I wish you could proceed with the same zeal.
Yes, I will try to reach a stage like you 💕
Nice piece, To thrive in the hive ecosystem, you need a mentor. When I started, my mentor never had time because he was the busy type but as time went on I read people's post on how to thrive on the hive blockchain and little by little, I started applying it and it helped a lot.
I am glad you were open to learning and that's why you also went out to search for materials to guide you through this journey.
It isn't an easy journey but I'm glad you're beginning to have a better grasp of what it is.
Greetings dear friend and thanks for sharing your testimony with us.
