<p>Life is really something else. The more you grow, the more you realize that not everything will go the way you planned. Sometimes you’ll be happy, sometimes you’ll feel lost, and sometimes you’ll question why certain things are happening to you. But that’s life; it teaches you lessons in ways you never expected.</p><p><br/></p><p>One thing I’m beginning to understand is that everybody is fighting a battle you may know nothing about. Some people are trying to survive, some are trying to heal, and others are just doing their best to figure life out. So, never be too quick to judge anyone, and don’t compare your journey with someone else’s.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’ve also learned that not everything you lose is a loss, and not every delay means you’re failing. Sometimes, life takes you through certain experiences to help you understand yourself better. You may not have everything figured out today, and that’s okay. You’re allowed to grow at your own pace.</p><p><br/></p><p>At the end of the day, life isn’t just about money, achievements, or proving a point to people. It’s also about having peace of mind, being grateful for the little things, loving the people who genuinely care about you, and becoming someone you’re proud of.</p><p><br/></p><p>So, take life one day at a time. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Learn from your mistakes, protect your peace, pray when things get difficult, and never forget to appreciate how far you’ve come. You may not be where you want to be yet, but that doesn't mean you haven't made progress. Sometimes, simply having the strength to wake up and try again is something worth being grateful for.</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
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.
