I am asking a simple question as I see many topics dedicated to ranking up or suggesting ways.
From my thoughts as a newbie, I wanted to rank up because I wasn't wasted and neither I believe that I cannot get into the rank that I am in as a Hero member. It was a tough journey & had a lot of adventures! It is a cycle that everyone here who joined after merit system went through.
I saw here, how high-ranking members would be the first to get included in the best signature campaigns. I would feel frustrated as a newbie as I felt irrelevant and ignored as my rank was not that good so was my reputation.
I then realized earning was not that a big problem as bounties were a big thing in my time. Even after working for bounties, getting ranked up was a big challenge, so I started focusing on my skills. I am not a developer, still I made it with my skills of writing.
I was first introduced to gambling being part of a gambling signature campaign. I loved it and decided to learn how gambling works in cryptocurrency. Lost a little amount while learning then decided to venture into sports betting.
I am making a decent extra earning with sports betting and now I have been working on trading. Life doesn't give you success on a plate and that is how my trading part is working for me.
Ultimately, I would like to say to everyone new to the forum. Believe in yourself and believe in what you can achieve. In some time you will see yourself where I am.
Not moving from one level to the other shows that growth or improvement, development, upgrading is taken place where ranking up to the next level in the forum show how much of your relevant and how much you are meaningfully contributing in the forum by receiving merit and also have an increasing activities while moving about in the forum. Being consistent and never given and pressing harder by looking up to those ahead of you to be like them in the long run.
As a human, you are meant improve in things you do, that's why most of the times it hurts when someone is not improving. The purpose of improvement is achieving, when you are achieving success you are also improving. The truth is, receiving merits shows how constructive you are, and it makes others to know how successful you are becoming. It's also important to know that, their is no achievements without trying, everyone needs to work hard to achieve success.
