Take a Shot

Take a SHOT.png

Woah the year has flew by. Personally after graduating university, I have felt time just go by super fast. In a blink of an eye, it's already been three years. Now there's about four months left until the end of 2023 and I want to cover some of the goals I have yet to achieve.


2.5k Hive Power
Currently, I'm at about 2,263.77 Hive Power which is about 237 Hive Power away from my goal. With four months left, this just means I need to get around 58 Hive Power per month to reach 2.5k which is definitely doable.

This is not financial advice but I believe Hive has a lot of upside and now is the best time to accumulate as much Hive Power as possible so profits can be taken during bull run. With this in mind, I haven't been keeping too much HBD. I will usually convert to Hive and keep it for Hive powerup or liquid to buy Splinterlands stuff. If there's a sudden pump though, I will sell it and buy back at a lower price because sometimes there's those random pumps by "the Koreans". Not too sure about all the details but that's what I was told when I asked about it before.

Gold League Gold Foil Chaos Legion Core Cards
I am a huge Splinterlands player. If you've seen some of my recent posts about Splinterlands you probably already know that I have a goal to try to own a gold league gold foil deck of Chaos Legion core cards. Quite frankly, I'm nowhere near close to being complete with this. I will probably achieve about 10% by the end of the year. This is fine though as it's a long-term goal and I don't expect to have this collection anytime soon.

Splintercards has a missing bcx calculator and it will estimate how much it will cost to complete a deck at a certain league. As you can see below, there would be a total cost of over 5.5k USD to have a Gold League GF Collection of Chaos Legion core cards.

Help Close a Deal
Lastly, I want to help my boss close a million ringgit+ deal by the end of the year. Not too long ago, I got a part-time job at a startup doing marketing leads and bookkeeping. The thing about this business is it has to do with IT and software solutions which can make a lot of money if deals are closed. I'm not too sure if the remaining four months is enough. When it comes to big deals like this, it takes time as it's not a simple purchase for companies. I'll be happy though if we are able to close one as I will get an increase in my pay as long as the contract is going on.


Concluding Thoughts
All in all, it's great to have goals. It keeps us moving forward and looking forward to something. It also helps give a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. It helps us reach that state of Self-Actualization in Maslow's Hierarchy of needs.

Keep on taking shots; you can't score a goal if you don't take a shot. This is something I heard a lot when playing soccer when I was younger and it's true. There's no way you can score a goal if you don't give a try at kicking it into the goal. This is just me trying to be punny because of the "goal" part and this post was about goals yet to be achieved. Anyways, that's all from me today. Keep on hustling!

In case of Hive power I feel it's the best time to accumulate like you. I am buying hipe immediately after I receiving reward. Because I believe that the potential of Hive is huge. I have also very few HBD which is almost nothing. I think we are taking good decision and keeping the rest on market 😅 because there is no guarantee of market 🤣.

You have nice goals here.

Getting up to 2500 hive power by the end of year is really doable if you continue with your good works.

The idea of selling hive during a bull run and buying back during a bear is something I too need to try out.

Thanks for sharing

Didn't realize you were Malaysian. Cool. Heading to that part of the world when I go to the Philippines in October. Malaysia is on my list of places to hit up next year on Vacation.

Good luck on your Gold Foil collecting. I took a quick peek to see if I had any commons or rares to send your way but looks like you are mostly missing epics and legendary...which are out of my league (literally actually).

Good luck on your goals.

Take care and thanks for posting.

Thank you. I hope you luck on your goals as well!

I'm assuming K.L. is Kuala Lumpur (pardon if I get the spelling wrong).

Yes. I don't think I can come to Malaysia without going to Kuala Lumpur although my destination would be Bintulu.....unless you tell me I'm crazy ;)

Details to come next year :)

Hmm.... when coming from Canada whether its Kuala Lumpur or Bintulu they are both totally foreign places a world away. Except one is a big city and the other is ..well...not?

Besides I hear there is a monkey reserve in that area.

Side note: When I was young my stepfather always used to threaten to ship me away to Borneo if I was a bad child. Of course at that time it was "the end of the earth" and "godawful place to be". Now that I'm older and I'm married to a Filipina its like....hey, Borneo is just south of the Philippines, I wonder what its like 😁

And did I mention monkeys?

Other side reason: Bintulu has a Category 1 Marriott Hotel. If I spend 25 days there I get (1) Platinum status with Marriot which means (2) VIP treatment for the rest of the year when I go to other Marriott hotels ... free food, suite upgrades, VIP lounges, etc. So, cheap place to stay for 25 nights. Get to say I've been to a place most other visitors wouldn't go. Plus VIP treatment on my other trips. Doesn't sound too bad to me :)

Of course in K.L. proper this hotel would also do the same thing....

But I wouldn't know if its a good or bad location.

Any ideas?

They say, "failure is the sign that you are trying." Whether or not we achieve a goal, taking shot is important. It does take us somewhere if not right at the target.

2.5k is easily achievable in the given time.

I wish you good luck about your business deal.

Have a nice day

O.O hey amber thanks for stopping by. Yes failure is sign we try but need to be able to move on from it. Some people get stuck after failing and they think life is over. Yes I also think the 2.5k is achievable for me. I didn''t try to aim too high in my goals or I know it would be not be realistic hehe. Thanks I hope so too for the business deal. You have a great day as well ; ;
