<p>History is not only a field of study concerned with the past. A human being or an individual can also stand as history to be studied on his or her own. An individual’s achievements, impacts, and contributions to the development of his or her environment and society serve as history that can be studied both during and after their lifetime.</p><p><br/></p><p>Several individuals have contributed enormously to the development of other lives. They have made positive impacts in various aspects of life among friends, relatives, and colleagues, making them unforgettable in the minds of others. These sets of people become histories in their environments based on what they have done.</p><p><br/></p><p>Every word uttered, every decision made, and every step taken by a person is undoubtedly part of history. Personal contributions toward self-development and the improvement of one’s standard of living are indeed history to the individual and can be shared as experiences and sources of motivation to others.</p><p><br/></p><p>History itself began as a social activity in which stories of the past were told and retold from generation to generation. Through these narrated stories, people acquired wisdom and experience, which helped prevent the repetition of mistakes made by ancient people. Moreover, through these ancient narratives, people came to understand themselves and regulate their behavior, as the consequences of immoral actions in the past were clearly explained to them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Be that as it may, history is not only a field of study that revolves around the past; human beings themselves are history, either positively or negatively. Therefore, individuals should strive to make positive impacts and contributions in every aspect of life so as to become good history today, tomorrow, and forever.</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
