In life, there are certain structures put in place by humans to make life more bearable, the coexistence of humans is built on a foundation of exchange. there are somethings in life that are tantamount to living a successful life but most people consider it not to be a necessity, treating it like an option has resulted to stagnation in their personal endeavours to achieve their life goals and objectives. There is a price for greatness you might have heard, how come some prices cost nothing but yet they are yet to be paid. there are some actions in life required from every humans which will serve as the price necessary for greatness.

Has it ever occurred to you that every successful individual has a team or group of like minded individuals. Why do you think that is necessary after all they are wealthy why do they still need the support of others or a group. how come they stick to just a team/club of beneficial individuals? To build a successful career in life is of utmost importance to build connections with people but there is something that plays a significant role in building a profound connections with others, it called the concept of giving, being generous and ability to offer sincere support. They say givers never lack, have you ever wondered why? the whole idea of that statement simply translate to the fact that being generous and supportive creates a circle of potential helpers around you, there will be a day you might need that circle to support your endeavours. Since you have invested in them, it wouldn't be difficult to harvest the kindness you have sowed when needed.
People often believe that the greatest source of profit is Monetary investment, what if I tell you they are wrong. There is something else that yields more profit than monetary investment which is investing in people, it does sounds hilarious but this is a technique used by the rich, this is the why the rich are becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer. it is always difficult for someone suffering from poverty to be generous towards others, it is not because they don't have anything to give but they are too ignorant of the fact that for you to reap in life you have to sow, in most cases for you to gain support from others you must have once rendered support.
Why do think wealthy people give their wealthy friends monetary stuffs and gifts, is it because those friends of theirs don't have enough money? Why do you think political tycoons offer their support to other political tycoons, does it mean they are not capable of standing on their own? definitely No, it is because they understand why it is necessary to spoon feed others in order to get fed. they understand the need to be generous and supportive of others in order to get support when needed.
There are two most crucial elements in building a successful hive career, which is Quality content and quality engagement, you can read more about this in a post made my @starstrings01 titled Quality content Vs quality engagement vs gaining visibility on hive to understand how significant it is to your hive growth. truly creating quality content is very important but on hive blockchain quality engagement earn you more reward, connections and support than Quality content. though both goes side by side in ensuring a successful hive career but as a member of hive blockchain instead of focusing your time only on creating just quality content, you should create more time for quality engagement. if you can do both, that will be better
In case you have not noticed Hive communities give more support to members that engage in their communities by engaging and supporting post in the community or being frequent in the community discord channel activities. Have you ever wondered why? the answer is simple, it is easier for a community with supportive members to grow than a community where authors just visit to dump quality content and leave. that is why communities on hive come up with different post rules and challenge/prompt in order to ensure engagement within the community.
Have you ever wondered why people prefer to publish their post in supportive communities on hive? this proves the significant role supporting others play in individual growth. there is a popular show called PYPT hosted in dreemport discord server every Thursday 12pm EST by @shadowspub. the whole idea behind this show among many the other things is to create an avenue for authors to advertise their post or other author's post and receive support on the post. I realise the support mostly comes from the attendees of the show, creating a circle of support by supporting each other. meaning as long as we support one another we all get supported.
Have you ever wondered why communities have a discord channel for Post promotion or general post promotion. it is meant for authors to paste the link of their post and also support others in the process but if every author just dump their links without supporting others, then where will the support come from? which means without spoon feeding others there can never be growth, which makes engagement/support very important on hive than any other thing.
During my pursuit of Higher national diploma in mass communication in Moshood Abiola polytechnic, it is an academic practice all over the world for every graduating student to undergo final year thesis/practical/project which serve as a partial fulfillment for the requirements of the course a student is pursuing. it is one of the most stressful aspect of the whole final year exercise.
During this exercise we have a lot of student who are unable to carry out the exercise themselves due to reasons best known to them, I'm the kind of person with vast knowledge in research methodology, I commercialised on this skill and advertised my skill on WhatsApp platforms of different departments, I got good feedback especially from student in my department.
I offered to help freely but they were also others who could not afford the whole amount I charge for the research project service I offer, by being considerate of their financial status, I came up with discount and installment payment which varies depending on the persons budget. all this just to ease their financial burden.
As a result of this I gained a lot of attention compared to others that also offer the same service because I was generous with helping others regardless of payment and I was extremely supportive in other to ensure every student successfully complete their project. but there was a particular guy that did not have enough to pay for my project service but I offered to help him for free, as a result of this we became friends to the extent I even invited him to hive.
Due to the rate at which I supported him with my services, it got to a time when I was in need of a printer to print some materials, he borrowed me his printer without asking for anything in return, he also allowed me to use is printer for business purposes without asking for a penny. As if that was not enough when i came for my clearance last week in Abeokuta, he gave me the key to his apartment since I no longer have a rented apartment in Abeokuta. he said I could use it till I feel like leaving.
If I'm to measure it, the help he has rendered me is far greater than what I did for him but it might not have happened if I did not support him when he was in need. which means I'm harvesting the reward of what I sowed.
In Conclusion
If we all chose to only be the receiver of support and not try to offer it, there will never be improvement or development in any Area of the society resulting to individual or societal stagnation.
Life is all about give and take, for you to be fed you need to also spoon feed others because growth is a result of collective effort and support.
