Well, I will like to say that I am glad to be part of this contest and I hope that my goals for 2022 might inspire others to dream because dreams are free. I Will also like to say a big thank you to @elmerlin and @liketu for this challenge as this really helped me see that I have a lot to be thankful for in the past year (2021).

The following headings that follow answer the questions as regards this contest/challenge.
What defined my year in 2021?
2021 actually saw me make my first million (in naira) and I also lost all the million I had to work hard to accumulate as I was attacked by a hacker who walked away with my coins. 2021 was a year I could have described being my best year yet but the hacker situation dinted that.
The hacking incident and losing my funds made me realize that money wasn't everything in the long run. I came to that realization as friends and family didn't even make me feel the loss. I knew the importance of friends during this period as they stood up for me even in places I didn't even think they would.
Talking about 2021 makes me emotional because I experience love, as I have never felt in my life from people I never ever thought, are capable of loving. I was stunned by people's actions towards me last year and that was my highlight of 2021. Despite being broke due to the hacking scenario, I still had the fun of my life as I got a surprise birthday party hosted in honor and I saw new places with friends. once again, people made 2021 worthwhile.
What are my goals in life for 2022?
I have four life goals for myself this year 2022 and they are;
- Get certified in a cybersecurity course
- Getting promoted at my workplace
- Establish an Offline business
- Get Fit by losing weight
The four goals will be discussed in the following subheadings:
Get certified in a cybersecurity course
This tops the list of my goals as I believe that I need some insights and skills on how to be secured while on the internet. The main reason why this goal came first was due to the experience I had towards the tail end of 2021 in which I was robbed online. I made a post about it showing the account where the hacker had deposited my coins which he stole.
Even after making that post, the hacker continue to withdraw my coins and funds from my trust wallet and I had no idea how to stop him. I have this particular trust wallet account which I use for airdrops, this hacker has set a bot to automatically transfer any #bnb that enters into that account.
The reason the hacker did this was to prevent me from taking any coin from that wallet as I have over 150 tokens on that wallet combined which I got from the airdrop. I believe that learning about cybersecurity and a little bit of hacking could make me gain control of my account once more. Getting certified will also help me prevent further errors which might lead to an occurrence such as this in the future.
Getting promoted at my workplace
Well, this has been on my mind for over two months now as I feel like I am stuck in just a position at work. I got employed in an Audit firm in February 2020 and I must confess that it has been a roller coaster year for me. The downs of 2021 seem to be more than the highs and I feel it affected me at my place of work.
At the time of writing, the staffs who we both got the job at the same period has been promoted and that has come with some extra incentive to them. Automatically, they are my boss at work and in order to change this, I have promised myself to work harder than I used to.
If possible, I will likely work harder than everyone else and hope that I get a promotion in the process. Being left behind seems to have its own feeling and I must confess that the feeling sucks. Well, I just have to be promoted and I am making it happen this year. Now that I know where I have come short, I will work towards making the promotion happen.
Establish an Offline business
I didn't get to spend Christmas the way I would have wanted due to the market crash that happened during the December period and that led to this particular goal. I happened to cash out on lots of my investment as I ran out of cash and options and that put me in a bad spot.
I wrote a post just recently about having a backup plan and having an investment offline that fetches me daily or weekly returns seems to top my list of goals which I plan to achieve this year. I already set aside a little fund to start the business all left is the best idea.
I have started doing my research on what the money will be going into and I am currently in the evidence-gathering part of the process. I will be starting the offline business as soon as both market and consumer data are gathered and computed so that I could make an informed decision that could yield me huge profit in returns.
Get Fit by losing weight
It has been my long dream to lose weight and become fitter. as a chubby kid right from the onset, I have always wanted a slimmer body and I put in the work to achieve that but I always come short right after a breakthrough, I will be hoping to lose weight at the ending of December 2022.
I have always struggled with relapses in my pursuit to get fit and I would be hoping to find a permanent solution for that this year. I want to be fit and stay fit and that has led me to draw some plans on having a personal coach or having a special diet to aid me on this journey.
What are my goals in crypto?
My crypto goals are quite simple and straight forward but due to the diversity of the blockchain, I will be segmenting them into three. The three will be listed below are further explained under the sub-headings that follows:
- Achieving 1000 staked hive power
- Building my Binance/Matic (Polygon)/Solana wallets again with tokens
- Involving myself with more play to earn games
Achieving 1000 staked hive power
After Hive blew right in my face last year, I knew I had to make some serious life changes in order to actualize my wealth-making dreams. on that note, I have started making some serious changes to how I view hive and its ecosystem at large. I have become more involved and also being observant than I have ever been.
My goal this year is to attain 1000 staked hive power at the end of 2022 and that has seen me write more than I used to. I have also started engaging with more users and communities in a bid to achieve this. My daily goal is to accumulate 2 hive coins over 360 days as that will result in a grand total of 650 hive coins. I already have 350 staked Hive power at the time of writing.
Also, in order to contribute more, I have got 1200 Hive power leased to my account and that has seen me have a total of 1550 hive power in total. Attaining 1000 Hive ain't easy but with the steps I have at heart, it looks quite achievable.
Building my Binance/Matic (Polygon)/Solana wallets again with tokens
After my wallet address got hacked last year, I have some rebuilding to do and that will involve me gathering tokens from different blockchains. of course, I will buy some tokens too but at the moment buying isn't an option. So in order to actualize my goal of basking many tokens, I will be doing a lot of airdrops, crypto giveaways.
So the goal is to do at least 50 airdrops a day and I will with this, I could get at least a coin a day starting from the following month. For coins gotten with a use case, they will be kept and grown if a staking option exists while shitcoins with no use case will be sold as soon as it is been gotten.
Involving myself with more play to earn games
One of my top crypto goal is to be more involved in more free to earn games. That sector of the cryptoworld keeps developing and the growth and hype surrounding it is defeating. So it is best one should be part of it before it blows up on my faces.
My goal for this year is to be actively involved in five free to earn games and at the time of writing, i am actively on two. I have involved my self with starbits and i started playing the rigorously like 6 days ago and i can boost of over 5000 star bits tokens. The other free to earn games that i am playing is Arc8 and their token is GMEE i am still gathering its token from the trials on the game
What I would like to see happen (generally speaking) in 2022?
Generally speaking i would love to see a lot of this happen and the first will be a better Nigeria. Unfortunately for me i was born in a country that bad government, corruption and police brutality as been in existence even before i was born and i would want nothing more than for that to change this year. Only if wishes were roses though but its good to dream though and that's why this tops my list.
On to the more realistic stuffs, i would love to see the reign of Corona come to an end. It is taking forever for us to get rid of this virus and i must say that its the first virus i have seen since my existence after HIV/AIDS to shake the world. Although the cases of Covid is quite minimal in my country but i wish for the world to be healthy again and families could hold hands far longer.
Also i would love to see more unity and love on the hive blockchain. i would love to see quality contents supported more over plagirised posts and also newbies making it big from the platform through quality contribution
