I don't want to sound like a negative person, or a big "Murphy's Law" believer, but my life experience taught me that things most likely happen when you least expect them... And I have numerous examples of that... Also, if we think rationally, it perfectly makes sense, but our subjectivity and emotional attachment usually don't allow us to acknowledge that on time...

For example, I had 2 topics for blogging today... The first idea came from reading some other HIVE posts as I went into it with an idea to inspire myself for a topic... So, I was pushing myself to "resolve" my issue (topic for blogging)... The other idea just came spontaneously, when I didn't worry about what to write (had the first one)... Of course, I went with the second one, as they came without pushing, without pressure, and more naturally... And here we are! It's not "giving up" per se, but the idea came when I didn't think about it...
Let me connect all the dots even more... What happened? This morning, I saw that BTC chart was breaking out from my descending parallel channel, which is a good sign, especially as it was doing it toward the upside... 😃 When I drew that "parallel downtrend", I had my doubts about not having an altcoin bull run... I was already thinking about what to do if it didn't happen at all! In one moment, I gave up on that idea! It's not logical that we don't have an altcoin run, but this BTC consolidation is killing the altcoins' prices! It looks like we have to leave the idea of the altcoin bull run behind to make it happen! And if we check out the history, that's exactly how it happened before! When you least expect, crypto will go ballistic! But, it works the other way around, when we dream about millions, and running to the TOP of the cycle, it already happened without noticing!
There you are, we already have 2 examples of declogging things when we give up... I also have some examples from my personal life, too... One of the most impacting was when I was running my first business ever... I was young and inexperienced... I was giving 100% into that business, and I was working 16 hours per day to make it work... I did have results as clients noticed the effort and my dedication, but the business reached "the local" top, and it was stagnating... As I was working too much, I was completely ineffective! The client was always right, and I was focused on 100% satisfaction! It is great to do so, but it's exhausting, and ineffective, and sometimes, some people tend to take advantage of your kindness and ask for more, and more... Of course, for free... 😃
That was unsustainable, and I decided to QUIT from that approach! I fixed working hours, reduced them to 8-10 hours per day, made a strict working policy, and took a bit "harder" approach toward clients... And imagine what? It worked out! The business became more effective, the numbers continued to go up, and clients were still happy with the service! They would still ask for additional work, but they were fine with paying for it!
All in all... The point isn't to QUIT, but rather to recognize the signs when you are "almost at the end" with your efforts, and motivation when it's hard... In those moments, try not to give up, but try to relax and take your time, before giving your "final decision"... To give time for a decision to mature...
Do you have any examples of quitting and giving up (or changing the strategy) when things went better? I would like to read about it in the comment section or your blog posts!
Let's see the WorkerBee Pool numbers for this week...
This week, we have mined 107 BEE tokens in total!!! 22 tokens more than last time!
We got a new delegator this week! Let's send a warm welcome to @stresskiller! Welcome, buddy! We got new delegations from old members, too! Thanks guys! Appreciate your support!
This POOL doesn't have fees, and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
Today's bonus tokens are coming in the form of LEN tokens, which are the "official tokens" of the @liotes project that I run with @achim03... Both tokens are backed up with HivePower on our fund account, or by project earnings from HIVE inflation, curation rewards, but also from some other investments... All that makes the token relatively stable, with a tendency to go up in the long run... Of course, ups and downs can happen as it has a relatively low market cap, but it is designed to perform well... 🙂
There will be distributed 60 LEN tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!
As always, in the end, let's give the exact numbers for this week... 107 BEE tokens and 60 LEN tokens will be distributed as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 7.010%, and when we added the bonus, it went up to 8.403%!
I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens when creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...
