Exactly, This is not just for forum.It is your opportunity to improve your writing skills and be able to speak and work confidently in real life. I have seen in my real life many times, old and eligible as well as well educated people who are hesitant to do small things in their office. You have PC, LAPTOP or mobile.Do not waste it for FB only. You can groom yourself alot by merely learning things from people, your actions and surroundings :)

Personally speaking that such exercise really helped me to gain more of few things for my own grooming. I must say that no one should be feeling disowned or regardless of no appreciation; it still help to learn a lot from other members who does it on serious note. Every participant in-fact make me/everyone to learn one or two things.... its a fun reading & learning to groom more & more. No doubt about the ethics, etiquette & knowledge based discussion. It is like once you in an environment, by-default it influence our way of thinking & practice. Actually, this will boost further and a lot. I believe that every little detail has an importance and value and must not be ignored at all hence, the competition itself is like an open/free/fun fare style learning, knowledge, discussion and building skills.

Thank you to give it a go despite of time constraints/personal engagements & busy life.

Your post quality did not matched our defined standards.


what does two pages mean...2,000-2,500 words? I will have to think which topic to choose or whether it will be a refinement of an existing topic of which I have already made an original post
