Ourpick Reading Suggestions for August 11th

OurPick encouragement program is part of the @Liotes ecosystem where quality posts are curated and authors are encouraged to continue with the content creation, adding value to different communities, and Hive in general...

Created in Canva.com

Occasionally, we will pick a couple of awesome posts that we find interesting and will suggest them for your further reading... We hope that it will help authors as an additional promotion... We support creators with our upvotes in Hive, but also in other tribe tokens! These Hive-Engine tribes give extra value to the whole ecosystem and help authors and curators follow their niches and dreams...

Very low cost but a lot of emotions: the first holiday with my boyfriend by @delilhavores

The first vacation as a couple is special and a little test to discover each other's flaws, haha. Yes, with the same budget now, it would be unthinkable to do even a quarter of what you were able to enjoy then. And salaries haven't risen accordingly. But I'm going to stick with your money-saving tricks; that breakfast included with the apartment was a plus! Although when you're younger you can do without some comforts, you can always find interesting places to visit even without leaving your usual residence. From what you say and what I see in the photos you share, Italy is the same as Spain, they have so much history and heritage that every corner has beauty to admire. I hope this area still retains that authentic flavor that is increasingly difficult to find, I would love to visit it one day.

No hay preguntas: solo propósitos [ESP-ENG] by @elizabeths14

Many times, almost never, we understand the reasons behind a situation, only time answers those questions. As you rightly said, trying to answer them the moment something complicated happens would give us an unfair answer. I only know that life has shown me that everything happens for a reason, and you will see that everything will pass.
You are being cared for by someone who needs you, and not only do you do that, but you also try to help others and have the best energy possible. Everything in life comes back, and what you do will come back to you multiplied. I am sending you my best energy with all my strength to help you through this, and I hope everything works out well.

Staying the course. by @niallon11

I'm glad to see among the people I follow posts like this, where authors are sharing thoughts cold-headed, despite the huge FOMO around...
I wish all the best for LEO, and to any other token related to HIVE, as it helps the whole ecosystem, but I do understand the point of view of taking profits when the time is right... There is no such thing as "never-ending-banana-zone"...
If we had the "fear and greed" indicator for LEO, it would probably be in "extreme greed" state, which says a lot... NFA. 🙂

Endless bikes and bikes and bikes by @karinxxl

I saw those bikes when I was in the Netherlands, and especially at the train stations... Can't remember if it was in Amsterdam, The Hague, or in Eindhoven (or in all 3), but I was wondering how someone even gets to their bike if it is somewhere in the back, behind hundreds of other bikes...
But, I never thought about what you just said... That a lot of those bikes are parked there forever, and I'm not sure if there is a way to "clean it up", and make space for people who need to park their bike for a few hours, or days...
Here in Spain, when the car is parked for too long, they put a sticker with a date on it, so if it's not removed after X days, the car is towed out... Maybe you have something similar for bikes?

A little bee gift for Amonet (Es-Eng translation) by @miprimerconcurso

I'm thrilled! Thank you for the dedication. The little bee that symbolises our beautiful Hive ecosystem is lovely, and bees are essential to life on earth. 💗
I love how you made the video, how you took your initial inspiration and reformed it to your liking with more flowers. I also love how detailed the step-by-step instructions are. On the other hand, you decided to use acrylic instead of pencil, which was a great decision, and the whole drawing turned out really nice. It doesn't matter if you get your hands dirty; it's part of the process. The important thing is that you have fun and enjoy what you do.

My Actifit Report Card: August 10 2025 - Peak of Avila on a hiking Sunday by @douglasdaniel

I was really surprised by the part where you said you climbed the last 500 meters barefoot. I could never do something like that... Hey, Humbolth was beautiful that day. Congratulations, you're a pro at hiking!
