The OurPick encouragement program is part of the @Liotes ecosystem where quality posts are curated and authors are encouraged to continue with the content creation adding value to different communities, and Hive in general...

Created in Canva.com
Occasionally, we will pick a couple of awesome posts that we find interesting and will suggest them for your further reading... We hope that it will help authors as an additional promotion... We support creators with our upvotes in Hive, but also in other tribe tokens! These Hive-Engine tribes give additional value to the whole ecosystem and help authors and curators follow their niches and dreams...

Voter apathy - a problem for DPoS by @alex-rourke
I was thinking about exactly this a few days ago... And these don't have to be witnesses, but rather big whale accounts with a lot of stake... I was thinking about DHF proposals and whale accounts creating their proposals... When we have more and more "whale-driven" proposals, we have more and more "favor-voting" happening in the background... it happens everywhere, it's in our human blood... and when you once try the sweet, free h(m)oney, you can't stop asking for more... When you live in corrupted countries, you know how it works... 😂 More money is spent on bribing, and less on actual investing and producing... No competition, etc.
That's why it's important what you said... to have more people who grow their stake and participate in governance... It's OK to have a different opinion... It's OK to say NO to some proposals... It's OK to be different... It's not personal!

Sexy Vials! by @trumpman
Wow that's a classy gift. I treasure every gift my good friends give me, it's like having a piece of them at home. The pictures are amazing, and it look different from different angles. I hope it doesn't get damaged if you open them, but I'm curious to know the weight 😅 Happy start of the week bro! ✌️

Battling 'Down Time' and the Stigma of our Socio-cultural norms. by @peacefulsoul
Tap the precise keys here. Mental health is a taboo in all the societies I know, exactly for the reasons you list here. Only those who have gone through a real depression or have had real anxiety can understand what it is. It is important that we accept this so that we can move forward without that burden. We are stronger than we think, I'm glad you've found a way to face your process. Thanks for sharing this.

Natalia: De vencer la depresión a ser una empresaria exitosa -5 Verdades para un Pensamiento de Poder- (ES/EN) by @emiliorios
For me, everything is summarised in a single word, acceptance. Accept that both people and things and circumstances are simple, without applying a good or bad label to them. In each circumstance, we can find valuable lessons to apply in our lives, such as these points that Natalia brings us. Learning opportunities surround us all the time if we keep the antenna on, sometimes we just have to observe and let that knowledge enter us. And yes, the most difficult thing of all is to overcome the fear of failure and take that first step that brings us closer to meeting our goals. Thank you for such a good contribution.
