It Will Happen When You Give Up! .:. WorkerBee PH-Pool Week 226
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...
Do you want to sponsor the PH-Pool with your tokens, receive a short SPONSORED segment in this post, and raise awareness about your front-end or dApp? Please let me know in the comment section, or contact me through Discord or Twitter, and we will find the best solution for both parties...
If you want to join the WorkerBee PH-Pool, the only thing that you have to do is to STAKE tokens to YOUR account and DELEGATE your staked WORKERBEE tokens to THIS account (@ph1102)! Every week, you will get your portion of mined BEE tokens and BONUS rewards!
.:. DO NOT STAKE TOKENS TO MY ACCOUNT!!! Just DELEGATE! .:.
All payments will be made after publishing this post...
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section!

Wise words and timely advice as well! Been quite busy with my life stuff and then work suddenly became very busy, it's like everything all at once.. It feels like I was just rushing everyday, trying to meet deadlines after deadlines.. But these things happen and I just got to deal with it.. Over the past week, I have learnt to find pockets of free time, such as meal times, to chill and disconnect from work, and it has helped me feel calmer and not so anxious.. And I realised I am able to cope better mentally and think about things more clearly. :)

Oh, yes... Maybe it's hard to come back after the break, but it gives a different perspective... and things go smoother after a good vacation... 😉
In Buddhism there is the concept of “letting go”. It’s not about giving up or quitting, but more about less micro managing the situation.
When it comes to blog posts I know that need to “let go” a little because I will have to edit what I writing to be more interesting to the readers.
Saving a draft and having a break before editing the post gives me new ideas to include and a chance to correct grammar and spelling mistakes.
Yup! I found it working very well for me... Usually, I'm stressing a lot and trying to make things perfect, which sometimes (many times 😃) fails.... and letting go, definitely helps... 😃
On the other side, this doesn't work for me... lol... If I leave it in draft, I never finish it... 😂 So, I have dozens of "potential" posts in drafts, waiting for a "better moment" 😃
LMAO. It can take me a week to get a post out, even if I had intended to have it launched that day, this means that I have to change the time references within the post.
I've had similar experiences, got fed up with the situation and gave up only to later found out that the situation has somehow sorted itself out. I think it's a "grasping problem" on my part, when we're so emotional attached to a particular path towards an outcome, it's really hard to see other paths even if they're right in front of us.
"Letting go" helps as it gives us another perspective... fresh ideas come easier as we "gave up"... 🙂
Great work declogging your private business - setting boundaries is important.
The higher it goes, the higher the potential for a big alt season.. maybe.
I suppose that works better when we get older as we appreciate time and effort much more than when we are young... hehehehe
BTC is ridiculously high for too long a time... If someone had told me 2 years ago that it would be over 60% again, I would never believe it!
Will it go back down is the question.. what alts might do that?! haha
The alt season is maybe happening in Bitcoin Treasury companies this cycle.

I used to be like you, %100 satisfaction not only at work, but also the other fields of life such as relationships, helps, supports etc. However, later I umderstoodd that one can't make everybody satisfied about theirself as we are all different like the five fingers of our hand :)
Thus, I learnt not to giving a fck when necassary ;)
Hahahaha... the last sentence is golden... And I 100% agree with you... I was stressing so much about some idiot-clients, while the only thing I had to do was to "not give a fck" 😂
You've said it, the point isn't to QUIT it's just adjust, fix up your strategy and take control.
About having two post ideas, I think it's happened to me, it happened a lot of times and probably happens to a lot of people, and at the end we probably go with the post idea by drawing a scale of preference.
As for the market, it feels like it leaves the predictions of the gurus in the dust, and perhaps when everyone is tired of predicting, then it'll begin to happen
Exactly! When everyone doubts that it will not happen... 😃
🎉🎉🥳 Congratulations 🥳🎊🎊

keep up the good work
wil try to catch some more workerbees when i make macro photos of them
Join us on the Ecency Discord
That's a very cool photo! How fast do you have to do it to not scare it away?
that was on a very cold morning , so the bee wasn't that active yet , and if you slowly aproach without casting a shadow you can take multiple images
but this is with 2.5 magnification so the distance between the lens and the bee is +/- 2-4 cm max in this case it sits on a lavender flower
Hmm that honestly never happened to me, when I gave up it never self sorted... Usually it applies that what shouldn't happen happens, expecially if you are a developer and work with incompetent other companies 😂
Hahahaha... That's a typical Murphy's Law thing... 😂
In all the videos I've watched so far, everyone says that the rise will begin when everyone gives up. So I'll act like I've given up :P
Hahahaha... Acting and truly living is different... You have to suffer... 😂
Some things in life we need to let go, if it bothers your peace. Thank you for the LEN!
Definitely! Peace of mind gets more and more value as we gain more and more experience...
😃
I think there needs to be balance to everything. I think it was smart to set clear boundaries and just settle for the extra money to get the extra effort.
Thanks for running the pool and for the BEE/LEN tokens.
Everything is easy when we are young... lol... But, it's not sustainable... 😂
That's the trick, though, isn't it? Learning how to tread that fine line between giving up and surrendering :D For me, it's something I generally try to "follow" or remember, but I'm also aware of when I still want to push a little more, if that makes sense. I generally know things will come when I stop chasing them, but sometimes, I find I'm still chasing, and I figure "okay, so I want to keep chasing this for a while. Fine, that means it probably won't come now, but it is what it is". :D
😃
It is indeed good news that we have got today's closing above 110,000, so this is a very good sign and we are heading towards the all-time high again. So it is the question of every person at this time whether this time the altcoin season will come or not. So I have to say that the cycle cannot be completed until the cycle is completed and the dominance of BTC does not come down. Otherwise, people will lose trust in the market and next time people will not invest in altcoins.
Hehehe... Nicely said... 😃
Sometimes when we stop pushing ourselves so hard, solutions or inspiration come naturally and better.
It looks like it works for others, too!
That's why too few people win big! Because they lose patience right at the worse moment, when the market is about to explode. And those who make the trends know that, and push it just a little more exactly when many people are on the edge.
As for business... Customers will take as much as they can. If the business owner doesn't know where to draw a line, bankruptcy is very close...
Regarding markets, 100% agree... That's how it works!
And regarding business... In my case, it wasn't bankruptcy, but rather my personal burnout... I would survive, but I would be very ineffective... And maybe, bankrupt if that would last longer...
100% agree that customers will take as much as you give them... and try to get even more if you are "soft"...
That personal burnout would have had bad consequences after a long enough time. It's great that you were able to pull out of this and draw the line.
