<p>TWO CENTS ✍️</p><p><br/></p><p>On learning to keep promises to yourself.</p><p><br/></p><p>One thing I think we don't talk about enough is the importance of keeping promises to ourselves.</p><p><br/></p><p>We are often so concerned about not disappointing other people that we forget how often we disappoint ourselves.</p><p><br/></p><p>We say we will start tomorrow, we will do better, we will take that step, we will work on ourselves, we will become better versions of ourselves. But somehow, tomorrow keeps becoming another tomorrow.</p><p><br/></p><p>I am learning that self-discipline is not just about doing what is convenient or what we feel like doing. Sometimes, it is about showing up for yourself even when you don't feel motivated.</p><p><br/></p><p>It's about keeping those little promises. Reading that book, saying that prayer, taking that step, doing that work and making that decision you know is good for you.</p><p><br/></p><p>You don't build trust in yourself by making big declarations. You build it by consistently doing the little things you said you would do.</p><p><br/></p><p>And please, don't get me wrong. There will be days you fall short. There will be days you don't get it right. Give yourself grace, but don't make a home out of excuses.</p><p><br/></p><p>Learn to be someone you can count on.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because at the end of the day, you owe yourself the effort you keep promising to give.</p><p><br/></p><p>Just my two cents. ❤️</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.
