I think it was November 2020, I first become Hive witness. I didn't really know how to set everything up in the first place. However, our global Hive community members have really helped me out. So I'm forever grateful for the help I received.
During my 3 months break from Hive from June 2021 to deal with some personal life issues, I didn't update my node to run the new hard fork version (My node was missing blocks!) and I had many messages from our community members asking if they could help. Basically, I failed to manage my witness server. So I should think twice before I take this responsibility. I feel I'm ready for this and I'm confident I can avoid this kind of thing happening again.
Most of the Hive Witness seems to be software developers, so I asked myself it's kind of odd for a person like me to become Hive Witness.
Community development is as much valuable as Technology development.
So I should really be running a Witness node and participating in the blockchain governance. I try not to do play status games because, like crypto, Hive is a positive-sum game. Always trying to add value to our Hive network.
For example, I know there are many different views regarding downvotes. Me, becoming a witness will definitely make many of our community members happy and with long term thinking, I can be someone who can influence major governance decisions related to Hive.
Entrepreneurs are heroes in our society. They fail for the rest of us.
I failed many times with our Steem/Hive community and me putting more skin in the game with Hive can increase my odds to build something valuable for our global community.
