Do you believe that money is the ultimate source of happiness? I know a lot of us, actually think that our problems would be gone, with the acquisition of wealth. This is why, we spend our lifetime in pursuit of it.
Now I'm not about to tell you that money doesn't come with happiness. That would be a lie and a cheesy thing to say. Money does make you happy - after all, happiness is a feeling within a certain time frame. The issue rather is, does money bring total happiness?
We often attribute problems in life to the absence of money. A lot of the times we think what makes us unhappy, dies with the presence of money. What then happens when that money is made, but the feeling of unhappiness still lingers?
When we spend our lives in pursuit of money, neglecting our well-being in the process, we are headed for destruction. We occasionally need to take time and access - what might truly be the cause of our unhappiness? And what can we do within our power to feel better?
Money can get you almost everything tangible, but is often powerless when it comes to the intangible and immaterial. Money may buy you affection, but cannot buy you love. It could get you a castle, but certainly cannot buy contentment. It can get you support, but not loyalty. It can get you security, but not peace. Now imagine a life without; love, contentment, loyalty or peace.
I'm not going to be like the hypocrites, and deny the importance of money. Before you can authoritatively state that money isn't everything, you should have acquired it first. All that I'm trying to say is; there's so much more to life than the acquisition of wealth.

We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked

and insightfulness of their content.

For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.

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.

3
Avoid using AI to generate contentâuse it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.

Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.
1
A user's comments (excluding replies & said user's comments on their own content)
2
A user's upvotes
Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps â but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time â without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
