How I earn my first "$" {$500} ?

To be completely honest, I never intentionally set out to make money online. Sometimes in life, unexpected opportunities arise, and this might just be one of them.

However it doesn't mean I got this because of luck or anything but behind this success there is peak hard work and determination. 

A quick intro

Before directly get into the details first I pleased to give a short intro of mine

1. who am I
2. What is my background?

Here Malavi Pande from Andhrapradesh at that time I am perusing my Bachelors(B.TECH) I always found of learning something new & utilize every spare minute to upgrade my skills. This led me to explore various avenues such as blogging, content  creation, open source projects.This casual involvements completely change my perspective on everything.

How it began

One fine day I came across this announcement where Hashnode(a free developer blogging platform) conducting a blogging challenge specifically for developers, inviting them to share their entire 2022 development journey.

To be truthful, I didn't take it very seriously at first, especially since my journey as a developer had just begun in 2022 thought I had nothing to share in the form of experience. However, at one point I thought why not share this short journey of ups and downs? Perhaps it could offer guidance or inspiration to someone else navigating a similar path.

Despite the doubts and uncertainties, I made the decision to publish my blog & I did it 😌

After that, I found myself less concerned about the result whether I would rank in the top 10 or not, if I might stand on the list or not and everything.

Finally!!!!

Out of the blue, while preparing dinner for my family at home, I casually open Twitter and was greeted by a flood of notifications. Then I discovered I had been named one of the top 10 participants worldwide in that challenge 😭. 

Here I am making this journey as sweet & short as possible. If your curious how actually my 2022 developer journey here you go.

On the same day, I received an email from the team regarding the cash transaction and swag prizes. 

I was completely shocked and grateful for everything that happened. In fact, I believed that this achievement was a result of the countless sleepless nights and endless passion I poured into the software field.

Lastly 

1. As a symbol of achievement, I used the money I earned to buy my first Android phone. To be completely honest, the feeling was indescribable.🥹
2. From this experience, unknowingly I learned a valuable lesson: after giving your 100%, the outcome, whether it's winning or losing, is beyond your control. Worrying about it won't change anything.😌
3. This win revealed the hidden storytelling talent within me.

In conclusion, I want to emphasize that if you have a thirst for learning, acquiring acknowledge the path will reveal itself along the way. Just focus on doing your work diligently 💚
