Ecotrain always comes up with amazing #qotw.
This week the question is IF NOT YOU THEN WHO? IF NOT NOW THEN WHEN?
Looking at this, you understand that they are asking that if there is something that needs to be done and you don’t do it, who will do it? And if you don’t do it now and you feel reluctant, when will you do it?
IF NOT YOU THEN WHO?
Understanding this question made me recall when I was in college (university).
I had a course mate (a lady) Goodness by name, She never comes for classes always in her room sleeping, I then took it upon myself to always go to her room and wake her up immediately I’m awake each time we had lecture. And this was because I found out that no one actually cares if she sleeps in the hostel the whole day.
I did this for sometime but she was not serious about going to class. I felt I was wasting my energy on her and also my advice to her.
I wanted to stop and giving her the space she wanted, but I thought to myself “ if you don’t help her who will ”. Considering the fact that whenever she misses class I always gave her my notes and she ends messing them up. Even with everything she did to make me quit on her I did not.
If not you then who? We need to help each other, not everyone has the capability to help his or herself conquer fears. So we need to help in any little way we can don’t say to yourself this person will help her/him, why not try to help.
IF NOT NOW, THEN WHEN?
Early this year a friend of mine @rufans introduced me to hive blockchain. When he did I was not taking it serious, because I wanted to establish my business which is makeup and selling of human hair.
I posted blindly without even engaging for some days after joining hive blockchain and I stopped posting.
I had plenty of time to engage and post on the blockchain but I was always giving the excuse that my work was taking all of my time.
@rufans would always advice me that the time I use to watch movie after work and any day I don’t go to work I should use it to engage on hive. But I always tell him that I will do so, but I never did.
Last month I thought to myself that if not now then when, if I keep Procrastinating now that my business is new, when will I then start engaging on hive. Is it when I will start having a lot of customers.
With this question I then realized that I have been making silly excuses for not engaging on hive.
I picked up last month and I can say I’m proud I took the step of engaging on hive.
conclusion
I would love to advice each one of us to stop procrastinating and help ourselves and also our neighbors. Charity starts from somewhere. Why wait for the next person to do something, when you can do it.
Thank you for stopping by 🙂. Kudos 😁

You're such a very kind hearted person @harnah12, if it were to be someone else, she wouldn't have thought of assisting the lazy student to get off her bed. Engagement is totally the heart of the hive blockchain, no one will be happy if his or her post is getting no feedback in terms of engagement. You've taken a good lane. Just keep it up and watch your hive dream come through.
Thank you 😊
