<p>Life. It’s a word that feels so big, so full of days and years stretched out before us. But in reality, it's just a blink. One moment you're here, with plans and people you love, and the next... it’s gone.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yesterday, that blink happened for my favourite lecturer. One day, he was sharing his passion and knowledge with us, full of life and laughter. The next, he wasn’t. It’s a sudden, sharp reminder that the time we have is a gift, and it can be taken away in an instant.</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s easy to get caught up in the small things, the daily worries and endless to-do lists. We often live as if we have forever. But seeing someone you admire and respect just vanish from the world makes you realise how fleeting it all is.</p><p><br/></p><p>So what's the point? Maybe the point isn't to live a long life, but to live a full one. To really see the people around you. To tell them you care. To learn and to love and to be present in every single one of those blinks. Because one day, our time will be up, and all we'll have left are the memories we made and the impact we had. And I’m so grateful for the impact my lecturer had on me.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
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.
