I was reading this [post](https://hive.blog/hive-189306/@starstrings01/imagining-if-hive-never-existed-oror-extreme-points-where-hive-saved-the-day-1500-delegation-hp-to-be-won) by @starstrings01 and it was a spin-off of the conversation we had on WhatsApp, firstly we talked about being broke, the challenges of being young and having to face life's gruesome economic challenges, the plethora of issues that come with living in a country with a depressing currency, of course, inflated to the core and the hopelessness it brings to people who live in a country with near zero opportunities. 

Then he popped the questions: **What if hive never existed?** I have always thought about this all the time and this is because I am an overthinker, the question was easy for me to envisage because I've been in the conundrum. This was because I live in a country where there is no opportunity for people with fringe abilities and skills.

###### I was also doing this back in 2014


<hr>

 For example, writing, the ability to be expressive and overly creative with concept development is a fringe skill because it was peripheral. Medicine, engineering, and the law were more conventional, which means people like me, would be second or third-class citizens, because of our inability to break through the echelon of demand. 



I like to say, I love the internet, I started using an Internet-enabled phone in 2009, but it was majorly to make friends. Right from when I left high school, at 17, I was passionate about teaching and the internet. I was fortunate to get paid employment at a school at 17. I did that till I was 20, it was when I was about 20 that I started writing because my writing appealed to my Facebook audience, I had people who gave me paid gigs to write on their websites and blogs, and I learned SEO because I wanted to helped their blogs rank on Google and a lot.

###### I think, I was teaching literature, some of these were students, the rest were tutors


<hr>

I graduated from doing microsourcing jobs and fivver on the internet at 23. I'd said my fivver journey failed because of the dubious nature of the clientele. Back then, most of them wants to use the work without paying, and I needed the money. I was paid like $5 for writing a 3000 words essay. 





**What I am trying to say in essence is that, without Hive, I think I'd be on the internet, struggling, looking for the big break, and doing tiny jobs to survive.**

However, I cannot completely paint that picture and the reason is that the economic situation of Nigeria in 2014 or 15 was better than what we had today, I think earning in Naira would have just turned one into working to feed and pay rent alone without having any futuristic inclination.

###### A typical Nigerian hustler

<hr>


I appreciate Hive even more because it gave me a platform, I was hustling with a friend of mine, I was looking for writing gigs online, when a friend of mine, came to my house he was like; *"Joseph, I have a place where you can write and earn"* I was like, *"oh writing?"* He said it was going to be difficult, I was like, I've faced harder ventures, my life is hard already, so writing and networking would be a piece of cake for me. ~~steemit~~ Hive, turned out to be different from what be said it'll be and here we are today. 





I appreciated Hive too because it **"platformed"** my fringe skills. I can say there's nothing else I can do in the world apart from selling, being able to create a concept for a business idea, and writing. Nonetheless, due to my health struggles with HB SC genotype, my life was sort of limiting.

 I'm the kind of guy that's die-hard. Even after meeting Hive, I continued teaching, this time it was part-time, and teaching literature to high school students is what I currently enjoy doing at my own pace.

 I think Hive gave me that ability to fund my dreams, even though I haven't funded my dream of owning a school, owning a transportation business, and probably being a stay-at-home dad, while watching a beautiful girl cooking rice and stew in the kitchen, I think that dream is still in the offing. Forgive me for being too detailing.. 😄😄

###### Here we are


<hr>

### In Summary


In reality though, in one word. Hive has changed my life, I've met some of the most amazing people in my life here. I didn't know I'd be able to talk in front of a camera, not to even talk about my love for photography and personal finance. I do not have a lot of friends in real life, but damn! that has currently changed. @starstrings01 and @kbanti are some of my closest friends and this transcended from Hive to real life.

 I cannot even begin to talk about the *tens* and *50's* of people who have formed some of the most emotional bonds with me here. They taught me, tutored me, encouraged me, and even if I'll not mention names due to tag spamming. I want you all to know that **you made me**. I was that guy who had that knack but you fuelled my passion and crowned my efforts with your guidance and unconditional assistance.

 **Without Hive, 70% of my essence would not exist**, and I don't know who I'd have been. I've been able to discover myself by being here alone. The number of brilliant minds here is numerous, mingling with these people alone is a non-monetary incentive that no platform in the world can guarantee. Thank you, **"Josediccus"** is a name because Hive is here

I like the transition..

It just shows that consistency pays..

I can imagine, a mere literature teacher.

> I was paid like $5 for writing a 3000 words essay.

Imagine 5$ for 3k words. That's crazy. Thank God for growth.


I am happy for you and ultimately happy for hive.

I think I should write a post on this

I get it, a lot of people ask how come, from literature to being finance savvy and all that, I think I've been someone who have consistently tried a lot of thing and only perfect at a handful. Yeah, literature hahaha that was one gig I treasured. Thanks man, I appreciate, jump on it.

if hive never existed, Rising star and Splinterlands in glory condition (It's glory imo when it started) will never exist too. It means my passive income and some of my friends in Hive will never exist too. Grateful +1 👍

A lot of people actually made money through splinterlands and other games too, the truth is, without hive, this wouldn't have been possible as well. So I think one way or another hive is entwined into the lives of a lot of people in ways they don't even know.

Haha keep giving us the details. The kids playing in the backyard as you and your beautiful lady take a dip in the pool in hot afternoon heat waves. It’ll inspire some of us to do better and achieve better. 

I like your come up story man, inspirational👌
There’s a good chance I would’ve been friends irl with you and starstrings if we were close to each other. I’ll grab an opportunity to meet you guys anytime though. Ghana and Nigeria are not far from each other so who knows, we might just have our own version of a mini HiveFest here sometime:)

Hahaha, thank you. What can I say, I guess these are goals and dreams that could well be made a possibility as I am not ruling that out. 

I'm glad you found the story to be inspirational and this is probably because we can both relate to this life I narrated, the struggles and the challenges that comes with it, coming from ground zero, having no opportunity and fighting everyday. I have no doubt we could be RL friends, who knows, without Hivefest it could even happen someday.

Gosh!!!! Look at me all emotional now!!!! Oh my!!! Don't take it personal o but ehn... that your teacher picture... Your head🤣
Anyway, i can't imagine being here without Hive. I don't know If I've said it enough, but Hive gives me purpose daily! I think I'll write about it because, wow. Many wouldn't believe me, wait... I think I already wrote about it...did i? 🤔😐... The last thing I want is to recycle post! 
But your story is sooooo inspiring! You're one of the people I look at on Hive and tell myself, if he did it, what's stopping me?
Look at you looking all suave 😏. The ladies on Hive will have hearts in their eyes 🤣... Bravo! Believe it or not, you inspire people.

Looooool this your comment ehh. Well I guess we have ugly throwbacks, I have a ton of them, I wouldn't lie, it's inspiring to look at where I'm coming from and even appreciate the journey.... The process and any tiny evidence of change or growth. I admit the teacher picture is funny, mumu me. Hahaha

If you wrote one before, come back better with another one, this time include pictures, plus this is a prompt loool unless the creative.

Wow! I'm really inspired by your story and it makes me happy to know that hive has contributed immensely to your growth. I hope that someday I can achieve that higher realm too.

> being a stay-at-home dad, while watching a beautiful girl cooking rice and stew in the kitchen

😅 This made me smile, well I'm sure it'll happen before you know it. 

Omo, you're really a multitasker and a hustler, it's like I'll come and meet you for literature classes 😃... Anyway, I wish you many more growth here and outside hive! 😊

This is a great retrospective exercise. 
I'm sure all Hivers can attest to the transformative power of the platform. All before-&-afters images or narratives will impress anyone.
Of course, like anything else in life, the more you do here, the more you get and some changes have been more radical than others, but most people I've met her feel they are better (in all aspects) since they started blogging and interacting on Hive 
You take care and keep growing!

Wow, now I understand better, so you are a literature teacher, that is really so relatable because sometimes I will be like, how did he come up with sure brilliant and captivating topics every time, all your contents are just top notch and is filled with so much to learn.

You were not looking bad as I thought but the difference is so clear, you are indeed a true hustler, you are just a true definition of ***"never say never"*** and I'm so happy I got to know someone like you here on Hive.

Trying to imagine my life without Hive keeps getting difficult as the day goes by because I always get to meet one new person at least every day and it feels so great that I don't want to miss out one bit.

RE: RE: What If There Was No Hive? (My Life In Introspection)
I used to be a literature teacher, but I stopped for a while to focus on other ventures of life, you know. But my plans are to continue after I've put some necessary plans in place, might take a year, might take two, bur I'm trying to put some plans in place. Thanks for finding relevance to my contents, it's not always easy sha, but I manage. 

> You were not looking bad as I thought but the difference is so clear, you are indeed a true hustler, you are just a true definition of "never say never" and I'm so happy I got to know someone like you here on Hive.

Loool I probably had other bad pictures, I just posted the less-bad ones hahaha. Buh I'm definitely grateful for all the transformation. Hive's impact immeasurable. 


> Trying to imagine my life without Hive keeps getting difficult as the day goes by because I always get to meet one new person at least every day and it feels so great that I don't want to miss out one bit.


We shouldn't even attempt to miss out, I believe the future is brighter.

Okayyyyyy, I think that is very understandable and I know it is for the better. It's always a pleasure Sir 🥰.

Hehehe I know and it's even better that way, to avoid many talk of you know what I mean 😁.

Yes oo, anyone that is still yet to know of Hive is missing out a lot and I really do hope that I get to tell more people of Hive and they take it seriously.

Lol!

I didn't start off earning online like you, it seems to earn online aligns with your being from the onset. If Hive never existed or I didn't find it, I do give it a thought at times. To put it simply I will be miserable, stressed, broke, and hopeless.

I started earning online because I knew my limitations early in life and decided that I wanted to grow something online and hopefully I can still realize that dream with time.

Your last picture has lots of freshness. Hive is just a wonderful platform that has helped a lot of persons. I wouldn't have met you to learn a thing or two if I wasn't here. A lot of times, your articles just speaks to me deeply and I appreciate it.

Loooool she said  freshness. I can attest to Hive, some of the people I've collaborated with to do some real life projects have come from here, it's been transforming. Thank you  for also finding meaning to my posts, it gives me validation.

Omo I understand bro. Cause without the money, surviving would be damn hell. Back then, getting recognition as an artist was tough and most people wanted it for free without considering your time,materials, skills and labor.

You drew that? 😳 Seriously, it looks so professional and very much like our nowadays girls way of styling their hair 😅

I honestly didn't imagine you with a pencil sketching out something... But you're actually this good, is there something you can't do? 🥲 I'm proud of you really.

The throwback to your present day picture is a total definition of "Transformation" and I totally love the outcome 🥰

What Hive can nor do does not exist! 😂 Thanks for this inspiring write up, we move!

Yeah I drew that in 2014, drawing was a talent I had, I could have been a great artist if I persevered but Nigeria wasn't a country that provided opportunities for people, so I left that to chase other things. 

> The throwback to your present day picture is a total definition of "Transformation" and I totally love the outcome 🥰

Loool I got better with taking pictures I guess hahaha. The transformation isn't much. I grew a beard and just added a little weight. 

> But you're actually this good, is there something you can't do? 🥲 I'm proud of you really.

Thanks, e get many things I can't do o hahaha. Waiting for your entry.

I thought I won't be able to read this post because it appears lengthy to me, I tried the first time but failed. 

But then, I decided to give it a second try, and wow 😲 your story and writing skills really got me stuck and it felt like this post is too short. 
I won't forget all the grammar you used tho, who can ignore **conundrum** Kwanu? (I needed a dictionary at some point, but comrades are not allowed to use one)

**Thanks for being here, you are truly an inspiration**. 

I appreciate how **consistent** you post quality contents. It's difficult for me, that's why I'm here studying you and other amazing creators. 🦋🦋🦋🐐

Oh my goodness 🤭
Your hive story is full of encouragement...I mean the evidence is clear...glaring at your throw back pics alone speaks it all. I am glad you were able to find hive at last, see nah...ur Skil is paying well here and that's a great thing to celebrate daily.

Yes, some of my friends see me as a married woman and so my husband is always there for me but it's not always like that. Leaving in Nigeria is a whole lot of hurdles... unforseen circumstances here and there too, alot of time hive has rescued my family and I and I am glad I could fill the vacuum when hubby couldn't due to financial constraints. I have my hive story to tell, even as a  temporary stay at home mum, I am glad on how hive has helped my family and I and my health as well.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for sharing your inspiring personal story! I'm a bit older, but I went through similar steps as you... Doing websites, writing blog posts, doing SEO, with a difference that I was doing that for my websites... I had an idea to go with Fiverr, but luckily, I didn't... When blockchain and cryptocurrencies came, that was a huge game-changer for me, and after that HIVE was a point where it all went in the right direction!
So grateful that we have HIVE and, at this point, I can't imagine my life without it! Just like you said, the world will continue to exist, and we would change "jobs", but it wouldn't be as fun as it is now! :)

As for fivver I guess some people made it while some people didn't, at the end of the day it was still about having those conventional skills. I'm glad you didn't try it out. Without Hive, we'd definitely change jobs, from one shitty opportunity to the other and probably never truly finding the right one that clicks. It's crazy. Blockchain & crypto changed a lot of things. Hive definitely.

RE: What If There Was No Hive? (My Life In Introspection)
HIVE has certainly changed the lives of many of us for the better and continues to change it for more and more people around the world.

I, as you, also worked at FIVERR for a while, and I made just over $100 there, but it was in proofreading and writing jobs. However, I left FIVERR because I only got one client and generally speaking, I had things that were much more profitable for me at the time.

I am also from a country with great economic problems (Venezuela) and I live in that country; And really, working on the Internet (which I have been doing for almost a decade), has changed my life for the better in every way. I have worked with marketing platforms, I have worked with freelance work platforms, I have worked through microstock photography agencies, I also learned about SEO and made blogs that I made profitable with advertising, and I have done endless other things (so many that I can't remember them all right now to write them down here right now); and just like you, what seemed best to me in every way was HIVE, because I love writing and because I am passionate about blockchain technology and Internet business and because I understand all the potential that HIVE has for us (all whose interact here) for the future.

I still don't consider myself to have achieved financial success in HIVE, but at this point in the film, it's the least of my worries (although I need money, because I'm not rich or anything like that). Just because HIVE is what it is, a decentralized platform where we truly own what we write, without fear of being censored or banned, and where we can genuinely connect with so many amazing people, is a real achievement for me in every way.

Excellent post. I connected with your life story, so thanks for sharing it. Greetings.

Neither have I, it's been life-changing and not like financial breakthrough. It's like the chance or the opportunity to leave ground zero..
I have done other countless things too and I can certainly relate to your stories as well. I think being online and having an online personality and trying to get things done is the life I've lived too and I believe we'd have other opportunities in life to even do better.

@josediccus you have been handsome back from time oh. The first picture you shared with your friends, you were looking good 👌. The second picture on you with glasses, finished it

Omo brother, you really hustled on this writing geek. I am sure the person that invited you to hive isn't active himself. 

Thank God that Hive came around if not. The struggling might have been worse since the economy got worse compared to how it was in 2015. 

👍

Hahaha the guy himself isn't that active anymore, he's a full-time programmer now and he's always dropping by once in a while though.

Since 2015, everything has gone south, I have been wondering how things got so bad in Nigeria, people who could comfortably live well cannot do that again these days, like, living fairly well in Nigeria is a hurdle. I'm glad Hive came through when it did. Yeah, writing has been my thing from day one.
