<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Choice made in anger can ruin your life.</span><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Anger is the reaction to something that hurt you emotionally. Choice is what you decide to do, even when you were advised otherwise. You can also call it free will.</p><p><br/></p><p>This image illustrates a hungry wolf chasing its prey.</p><p><br/></p><p>I don't know how many hours, days or months it has gone starving. But look closely and you can feel the desperation in its actions — days of silence, days on an empty stomach, days of hunting without catching a single bird or rodent.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then suddenly, a bird appears.</p><p><br/></p><p>Hunger made him desperate, and desperation made him careless. He used all the power and strength he had left to run after the prey, but he forgot to watch his steps. With each leap he looked higher to catch the bird, never looking lower to see the cliff.</p><p><br/></p><p>He made a wrong choice without thinking that one leap could cost his own life.</p><p><br/></p><p>Human choices are like that of this wolf.</p><p><br/></p><p>At times we allow the pain of what hurt us inside to control our emotions. We become so focused on what we want that we forget to check where we are standing.</p><p><br/></p><p>You may be facing hardship today, but don't let a wrong choice ruin your endurance. You may be facing financial instability today, never follow a shortcut route out of desperation that will ruin your life.</p><p><br/></p><p>The bird will fly away, but you will still have your life if you wait.</p><p><br/></p><p>This phase will pass, and your time to shine will come. Stay grounded.</p><p><br/></p><p>@FP</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.
