<p>The Making of the Great</p><p>Nothing great appears suddenly. Everything meaningful is formed through process, pressure, and persistence.</p><p>Before food reaches the canteen, it is cleaned, prepared, and exposed to fire. Raw ingredients must endure heat before they become nourishment.</p><p>Before bread reaches the public, grain is crushed, mixed, kneaded, and baked. Without fire, it remains dough. A half baked bread is dangerous.</p><p>Pizza and shawarma pass through intense fire and careful timing before they are fit for consumption. A half done meal is dangerous. What is not fully prepared can cause harm.</p><p>The building of a house requires the sweat of many hands, regardless of the type of house. A half built house is dangerous because it lacks strength and stability.</p><p>Movement is required to reach any destination. To get to work or anywhere we desire to go, steps must follow steps. If we stop halfway, no miracle will take us there. Arrival belongs only to those who keep moving.</p><p>Even animals pass through fire before they become meat. There is preparation, sacrifice, and transformation before nourishment is produced.</p><p>Even the body teaches this truth. A half release of urine is dangerous. What is meant to be completed must not be interrupted.</p><p>Now consider the human being, superior to all created things. How many fires must a person pass through before becoming meaningful. How many trials, pressures, scars, and bruises shape character and strength.</p><p>A half made person is unwelcoming in the space of success. Success demands completeness. Greatness is not gifted; it is built, refined, and earned through endurance.</p><p>Those who become something are not those who avoided the fire, but those who stayed, endured, and kept moving until the work was finished.</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.

The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.
