<p><br/></p><p>In the wide golden plains of Cheetah Country, the evening sun touched everything with a soft glow. The wind moved gently over the grass, and the land felt calm. There sat Cheeraya, a quiet and thoughtful female cheetah.</p><p>She was not like the others. Many cheetahs loved loud gatherings, laughter, and noise. Cheeraya loved peace. She loved the kind of silence that helped her breathe. She loved moments when the world felt simple and honest.</p><p>On this evening her heart was full of deep thoughts.</p><p>“Why does life feel so noisy?” she whispered. “Why do I feel like I am running in a path that is not mine?”</p><p>She did not hear the footsteps behind her until a warm familiar scent reached her. Cheeron had arrived. He sat beside her without saying a word. His silence was never empty. It always felt full of comfort and care.</p><p>After a long quiet moment he asked,</p><p>“What are you thinking about Cheeraya?”</p><p>She breathed out slowly.</p><p>“I think I am not made for too many people. Maybe I only have space for a few important souls.”</p><p>Cheeron looked at her with gentle eyes.</p><p>“That is not a weakness Cheeraya. The world is not about how many gather around you. It is about who stays with you when everything else goes quiet.”</p><p>His words touched her deeply. She turned away and asked softly,</p><p>“Who has stayed for me Cheeron? Who is meant to be part of my few?”</p><p>He did not answer right away. The silence grew heavy with meaning. The moment felt like holding a breath.</p><p>Then he spoke in a soft steady tone.</p><p>“I have stayed. Every day. Every season. Even when you did not see it.”</p><p>Her heart beat faster.</p><p>“But why me?” she asked. “I am quiet. I keep to myself. I am different.”</p><p>Cheeron gave a soft true smile.</p><p>“Different is beautiful. I feel more peace in your silence than in anyone else’s noise. You make the world calm for me.”</p><p>Cheeraya tried to speak but her words caught in her throat. Hope and fear mixed inside her.</p><p>Cheeron gently lifted her face with his paw.</p><p>“I do not need many Cheeraya. I just need the right one. The one who understands my heart without hearing it. The one whose presence feels enough.”</p><p>Their foreheads touched. Their breaths met. The world felt still.</p><p>“Let me be that one for you,” he said quietly. “Let me be your right one.”</p><p>Silence followed. A long trembling silence. Cheeraya closed her eyes. She felt her heart choosing even before her voice did.</p><p>At last she said softly,</p><p>“Yes Cheeron. Yes with all my heart. Yes to your calm. Yes to your comfort. Yes to your love.”</p><p>His eyes softened with relief and joy. He wrapped her gently in his arms as the first stars appeared.</p><p>In that peaceful moment they both understood something important.</p><p>You do not need many people to feel complete.</p><p>You do not need loud circles to feel loved.</p><p>Sometimes life gives you one soul.</p><p>Only one.</p><p>And that one soul makes every fear smaller and every breath feel like home.</p><p>Cheeraya rested her head on Cheeron and whispered,</p><p>“With you I feel understood.”</p><p>Cheeron kissed her forehead lightly and said,</p><p>“With you I feel whole.”</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
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 "Top 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 "Top 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.

The All-time Engagers ranking is based on a user's Engagement Score — a measure of how much a
user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.

2

Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
