Good day, amazing people of Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompt, the first quarter.

Wow, the first quarter of the year is here. Just like yesterday, we were all excited entering into a new year. Now the first quarter is here. Well, it has not been easy; there have been many ups and downs. Reflecting on this right now, I am kind of emotional. The past three months have really been tough, but I am so glad I was able to withstand the storms.



Of course, every year I always have a rundown of how my year will be and the things I would like to achieve before the year runs out, both here in blockchain and in my personal life. Every human should have a plan for the things they would like to achieve because it helps us achieve those smart plans we have. One thing about when I make plans is I always have this positive mindset that I will achieve whatever goal I set for myself, no matter how hard it is. I believe even in difficult moments I will still win no matter what.





I have my plans well planned; in most cases, things don’t happen the way we plan them. The first month was really a challenging moment for me. I bought birds that I would rear and sell during the Easter celebration. I invested all my savings into the business. I bought fifty birds, and before I knew what was happening, my birds started dying. Before I could know what was happening, all my birds were infected. That was how I lost all the birds, my money and my time. It was a disheartening moment for me.

My greatest achievement this first quarter is getting a work visa. Seriously, I was so tired of staying at home eating and sleeping. At least I have something that will always take me out of the house every day. Well, it's not easy to handle work online, but I am so cool with it. This first quarter has really been amazing; despite the challenges, I am still growing strong every day.





Coming to my plans on blockchain, I am so happy where I am today. I have always tried my best to make sure that I achieve both my blockchain and personal life.



The first quarter has not been a smooth road for me, but I am not giving up on my plans for the year. I am so grateful for where I am today, and I have learnt to always appreciate myself at every milestone I achieve. I am super proud of myself that even in challenging moments, I win.

The second quarter is almost here. I am so optimistic that the second quarter will be far better than the first quarter. There are a lot of opportunities; the second quarter is a win-win quarter for me.
