<p>Have you ever been angry sent a message and regretted it 5 minutes later?</p><p><br/></p><p>I feel that most of us have been in this type of situation before and we have either thought that we shouldn’t have let our feelings or emotions get the best of us and that we would have handled it better if we did.</p><p><br/></p><p>As someone who can be very temperamental most times I’d say it’s not that easy to not act on one’s immediate feelings and pick other ways to react.</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes the intensity of the emotions might overwhelm how you want to actually react. Your mind would know that you should be calm and careful about how you act upon what is said but that feeling of anger sometimes can get the best of you and make you react rather wrongly.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I’d say it is normal sometimes because we are human and it can be part of one’s flaws . But if you want to be more heard in a way that you wouldn’t end up regretting one could try to stay calm and seek out a better way to react to the situation.</p><p><br/></p><p>As we know a feeling is an emotional experience or a state you experience in response to something .</p><p>While a reaction is the way in which you respond or behave because of what you are feeling.</p><p><br/></p><p>As seen these are two different things and if one is aiming at becoming better at handling their emotions we should learn to react in ways that will bring about a better outcome .</p><p><br/></p><p>Me as a person is trying to act on this so I believe that if anyone has been in this situation they should try it as well.</p><p>😌</p><p><br/></p><p>“WHEN EMOTIONS TAKE OVER, DO YOU RESPOND TO THE SITUATION OR SIMPLY REACT TO THE FEELING?”</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 between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The 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.
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.
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.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
