<p>Sometimes, I just sit down and think about how life has been so far.</p><p>Being ignored by the people you expected to understand you. Being treated like the last option in the family that are supposed to be your motivators. Having opinions that nobody seems to care about. Watching others being cared for while you're always forgetting and not cared for, Everytime I'll say “When will it be my turn?”</p><p>And honestly… it hurts.</p><p>But then I ask myself: What if everything that tried to Mal me is actually Making me?</p><p>So I wake up every day with one simple goal: don't be the same person I was yesterday. Even if the improvement is small, I want to be better than the person I was a minute ago.</p><p>Maybe luck isn't on my side. Fine. Then I'll create my own luck.</p><p>This isn't fiction. It's the story of someone who stumbled, cried, questioned himself, but is still trying to find his way back.</p><p>And maybe that's you. Or maybe it's someone sitting beside you right now, quietly fighting battles nobody knows about.</p><p>So keep grinding. </p><p>Keep learning. </p><p>Keep becoming.</p><p>Don't try to become better than everyone else. Become better than yourself.</p><p>Don't be a man of yesterday.</p><p>Be the man who yesterday's version of you would be proud to meet.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>This isn't motivation.</p><p>It's a reminder that nothing truly meaningful comes easy. Behind many beautiful stories are struggles, sleepless nights, rejection, and tears.</p><p>Keep going. Your story isn't finished yet. 🔥</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.

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.
