This drop made me think differently about how people get opportunities. Before reading it, I thought experience and titles were the main things that mattered. But the material says that what you actually do every day matters more than what you write on a resume, and I can see that in Web3.
When I looked at my own activity, I realized that being consistent matters more than saying the right things. Most of my recent posts are about Web3 opportunities, webinars, reflections, guides, and things I'm learning. They show that I'm active and interested in the space. At the same time, I noticed that some of my content is more about sharing information than sharing my own thoughts. If someone checked my profile, they would probably see that I'm curious and trying to learn, but I think I can do a better job of sharing my own experiences and what I learn from them.
The part about hunger stood out to me the most. I'm still a student, but I spend a lot of time looking for opportunities, joining programs, attending webinars, and learning new things. Nobody forces me to do that. I do it because I enjoy learning and want to build something for myself in the future. That's probably my biggest strength right now.
At the same time, one weakness is that I'm not always the first person to start a conversation. Most of the time, I read and learn before I say anything. Sometimes that's helpful, but sometimes it makes me miss chances to connect with other people.
One line from the material that stayed with me was that you can teach tactics, but you can't teach hunger. Skills can be learned, but the willingness to keep showing up and learning has to come from you. As a student trying to gain experience online, that idea felt very real to me.
