This is about those all 50 claps.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.— Winston Churchill

I’ve had very little time since I started writing on Medium. I haven’t seen considerable results, mainly because I haven’t put in much effort until now.

From the beginning, I’ve appreciated the idea of this platform, its purpose, and the benefits it offers, which you already know, so there’s no point in listing them again.

But at first, I felt frustrated about claps.

Perhaps you’ve experienced it too, or maybe you still do.

So stick around until the end because I want you to see how I overcame this frustration.

One interesting thing I implemented on Medium is giving the maximum number of claps.

It’s something I read someone asking: ‘Is it that hard to give 50 claps?’ After reading that, I started giving 50 claps to every article I read (if you see this, please tell me, so I can cite you).

However, my frustration arose when I noticed that

not everyone for whom I did this reciprocated.

Not even the author of this idea (if you see this, at the moment I don’t have any bad feelings for you).

And this frustration lasted a while.

But here’s how I got over it.

In the game I play, League of Legends, there’s a curious phenomenon. There are times when you win a lot of matches and times when you can’t win any, and it’s very frustrating.

You keep hoping for the moment when you’ll start winning again.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” — Theodore Roosevelt

I don't know if you believe it or not,

but that moment comes, and you manage to surpass the frustrations, and you get used to the idea.

It’s the same on Medium.

In fact, I’m sure it will be. I’m sure that at some point, I’ll receive the same support I offer. In fact, there are a few people who don’t hesitate to return the favor.

The feeling is extraordinary, surpassing the frustration I once felt.

So, if you have a similar frustration, don’t worry. The day will come when you’ll manage to overcome it, and you’ll receive the same claps you’ve given.

What do you think about this perspective? Let me know in the comments below and please clap if you liked it. When I clap for the others, I like to do it 50 times. Maybe you like it too. :D
