2018 was a great year as a Local guide, I could achieve new goals and gain new friends in connect. In2019 as a Local guide personally I have taken some Resolution to make the map spam free before 2020.
RESOLUTION 2019
1. ANTI - PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism means stealing someone’s idea, writings, photos, videos and using it as his/her own without given proper credit to the author. We often commit plagiarism by accident than intentional. Plagiarism is a great crime in the research and Journalism. Therefore as a local guide, I have decided to avoid any kind of Plagiarism and use my own ideas and contributions to inspire others.
2. Quality Vs Quantity
This year I prefer Quality contribution. As I have seen most of the Connect live participants are from Level 7 and 8. Because they are quality contributors. So if I have the capacity to perform better I should not stop or happy with good.
3. Constructive Vs Destructive Criticism
This year I will be careful with my criticism because my word can construct someone or destroy someone. Whether it is in connect forum or in writing a review of a business, I will help them to improve.
4. Spam & Error Free Map - Vision 2020
Google has made a lot of effort to make the map spam free. As a Local guide, I join my hand to make the map spam free and error free. “Change begins from oneself”.
5. "Work without Reward in Mind" - Bhagavad Gita
When I am paid for what I do, then my contribution becomes work. So this year no expectations but only contributions.
Congratulations on reaching the highest level and we appreciate all your contributions! I’m very happy to hear your thoughts and ideas for the year. This is a great post for other Local Guides as well. We always encourage original and interesting content, so keep on contributing as well. Happy 2019!
Your resolutions are worthy, @JohnPeter especially #3. We can contribuite to improve the bussinesses that are on google maps as well as to help map users to find the best place that they are looking for, with our detail reviews free of bad intentions or criticism
Recently I have been moved to Japan from Bangladesh, and honestly, without google map and google translate app, it would be much difficult to survive here initially, that’s why I became motivated to help others with quality information (both visual and written), and respect for you @JohnPeter for your amazing contribution
All the best @JohnPeter for your resolutions 2019 and Vision 2020. In this post all are valid resolutions, definitely this will give quality review, spam free contributions to map, it’s good that we are learning more from you.
