People will always try to make you not make decisions they weren't able to make themselves
<p>I'd never let someone with a negative mindset get to me</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>So sometime ago I was going for a business talk conference, I was invited to with a flier whilst just walking.</p><p><br/></p><p>So on the day for the conference, which was a Sunday, I embarked on my quest but mind you there was a programme going on after the normal mass they do in Catholic Church, but I couldn't stay for the program.</p><p>And then a man who knows me started questioning me, like :</p><p>Why can't you stay for the program, and. I explained that I normally do stay for the program but not just today I've got somewhere else to be.</p><p> </p><p><br/></p><p>After the back and forth questioning he then asked when I was going. I told him where and showed him the flier, then he started bad mouthing the conference, that "how am I so sure it isn't a scam?" "Even if it's not a scam I should settle down that I am too young to be chasing money".</p><p><br/></p><p>He kept on yapping, and he ended by saying if you still want to go you can go oo</p><p>And yes I did go to the conference and I was glad I did.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now most girls might have listened to him and go; " He's kinda right though, I mean after all I'm a woman, it's just to get married.</p><p><br/></p><p>No shades to people with such mentality, but could not just be me</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.
