A good or a bad thing?
I was out for a pint after work yesterday in my new job with a couple of lads and we were telling stories of past glories as you do when sipping at the bar.
Naturally as we had just finished working together for the day we told a few old work stories and i realized that i've had a good bit of experience in a lot of areas.
From working in construction, retail, pubs, management, tourism and various other bits and pieces including crypto and writing. This comes from starting at 14 and working my way through the years. Followed by college courses in engineering, retail, management and the latest of blockchain technology.
It's a fair mixed bag but a lack of knowledge never stopped me jumping into a new role. Even my latest job in reinsulating houses is new territory but after a few months and zero training I've found my bearings and haven't destroyed anybody's house yet.
People like the fact that i can turn my hand to anything which is a valuable quality but is it the best way to go?
Expertise is also a valuable commodity and people will pay big for that specific talent or knowledge that only comes from a lot of time and effort.
I saw something similar in crypto where people jumped form one chain to the next. One project to the next or one get rich quick scheme to nothing. They lost all their money and hate crypto now. But that's besides the point.
Hive is a skill in itself and success usually comes with time and effort. Learning how to operate and navigate the intricacies of the eco-system. If you can build on hive even better and even more valuable than just understanding it.
@demotruck made a very interesting post about a similar subject earlier this week. He is a wizard with info and tracked how account age relates to account power.
How Hive Power, Account Age and Post Count relate to Hive Rewards
more Hive Power means more rewards, and older accounts also make more rewards.
we can see a very clear pattern of more posts, more years = more rewards.
He also makes very pretty charts, just saying.
10,000 hours.
There is a common perception that if you dedicate 10,000 hours to any subject then you can become a master of it.
Whether that is true or not would depend on a lot of other circumstances for me personally but i would agree that spending 10,000 hours on any task would definitely elevate you above most others.
I might not have mastered any of my previous jobs but I'm hoping to play Hive on expert level. I could waste a lot of time trying to understand everything in crypto or i could learn as much as possible about hive and make myself invaluable in the future when there is a lot more demand for access to the eco-system.
