However, all communities change in character and some disintegrate after a point of time.
While the rodinhoods is in no such danger, I thought I would take a moment to talk about the spirit of rodinhoods so that newer members enjoy it more and help grow it further.
From my perspective, the spirit of rodinhoods is all about:
Sharing | Helping | Doing | Ideating | Mentoring | Meeting New Folks | Good Karma | Individuality | Happiness | Peace – And without expectations.
Its about a bunch of people who are passionate about startups and life and who want to make a difference, and have fun while doing it.
The way I see it, TRHS is not just another network platform or feedback platform. Its a diverse group of people having conversations, sharing knowledge, helping each other out and just being themselves.
95% of internet users are consumers of information and knowledge created by a small minority. Here too, while we have 6000+ members, there is a much smaller group creating and interacting.
Lets change that a bit. Lets get a bit naked. (Not literally of course 😉
All of us have thoughts, views, ideas, expertise, knowledge and opinions on a wide range of topics. Lets see more of them here instead of just creating an account to post a link about your startup / idea and then disapperaring.
So yes, next time you have a thought or insight pen it down. Or if you see a post which you can relate with, don’t hold back on the comments. Reach out more. Help. ‘Coz it all comes back.
Alok: This post is dedicated to you on your birthday today. Hope you have a great day ahead and Thank you for kickstarting the Rodinhoods
