<div class=text-justify>As a newbie I understand the learning curve here is long, and some times it can lead one to do a very silly mistake.

I lost 9 hive few days ago during an exchanging of POB token  for hive transaction.


**How It Happened**
One of my referrer has approached me to helped him   exchanged some of his POB for hive so that he could get enough resources credit as his was getting low.

I agreed to helped him out , but to say the truth i had a really stressful day on that said day, I was supposed to just lay down on my bed to take a brake from the screen and since he sound so urgent I agreed to helped him out instead of taking a brake.

He did transfer his POB to me and i placed an order and it was sold for 9 hives, the plan was to sell the hives get the money and call a friend who will do some hive power delegate to him, but I think I mistakenly sent the hive to a wrong user, and up till now I have not been able to retrieve it back.

This is a screen shot of the transaction

I have contacted the trader app, they requested I sent an email in that regard but up till now it has not been resolve.


**My mistake;**

 I'm this kind of person that find it hard to take a brake when something is on my mind to achieve, like I will practically  exhaust all my energy to the lowest bar, before taking a nap.

This is one thing about me that I'm trying very hard to control, our body and system needs a brake and when we chose not to rest we becomes less productive or ends up making silly mistakes.


   That wasn't the first time I traded on that app, but because I was so exhausted I ended up doing mistake, it could have been more than that, but thank God it wasn't I have learnt  how to take a brake when it is needed So that I can continue to have a productive days.



**Way Forwards**

I don't know  if I will get the hive back but I have resolved within me to refund him. he is new here and I won't want to do any thing that will get him discourage .

So, friends work hard learn more continue to write here and be engage with others but learn from my mistake,  know when to take a brake and be productive .

Thanks 🤗🙏
