From Doubt to Confidence – How I Faced My Fear and Finally Won

‎Bro, I never cared much about winning — I just wanted to know if I could actually do this.
‎Before joining the challenge, I read different participants’ posts, and they were awesome. I thought to myself, “Do I even have the skills to brainstorm this kind of idea?”
‎But then I said, “How would I know if I don’t try?”
‎
‎There were times I wrote stuff in my notepad, but I always gave up. When I read other entries, I felt I could never match their level, so I quit.
‎
‎Also, the last story I wrote got a discouragingly low score. That pushed me further away from the learning challenge.
‎

‎
‎But This Time Felt Different
‎
‎While reading through some of the new entries, I noticed most people were missing something — the host pointed it out.

That must be the gem, I told myself. So I went back to the contest hints, read them carefully, and listed every point out.
‎
‎Then I tried writing based on what I understood from those points.
‎
‎Believe me, I always missed the gem in the past — and the host promised to reveal it later. Even though I had a clue this time, I couldn’t say I found it fully.
‎
‎So this post is kind of like a journal, just reflecting on what happened and what I did.

‎How I Wrote the Story
‎
‎I sat outside with a paper and pen, staring at the sky, trying to figure out how to plan the story.

	parson me the handwriting is very tiny

_{I wrote down each point then tackle them}

‎At some point, the lines I imagined started making me smile like a crazy person.
‎
‎Like this line:
‎“My wife is organizing a get-together, and I want you to come with me. I want to teach you a family lifestyle.”
‎
‎My friend, who wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing, looked confused.
‎Let’s be real — if it were you, and you saw someone staring at the sky then suddenly smiling and writing, wouldn’t you be curious?

‎After Hitting the Post Button
‎
‎After posting, I told myself, “At least I’ve tried. Let’s see how it goes.”
‎I had nothing to lose.
‎I even shared it on X.
‎
‎Then came the review from the host — the real deal.
‎
‎Score: 9.6/10.
‎Not bad at all! In fact, this was my highest score since I joined the learning challenge.
‎

‎At least now I had a little bias — it felt like all that sky-staring paid off.
‎
‎ But still, I didn’t celebrate too much. Deep down, I felt the post deserved even more.
‎

‎
‎Then the Real Surprise Came
‎
‎The next morning, I got a notification — the host mentioned me.
‎
‎Ewee!
‎
‎I checked it...
‎
‎Boom. Third position.
‎
‎The story I was hoping for — it played out.

‎Why I Wrote This Post
‎
‎I’m celebrating this win — not just for the reward, but because of what I learned.
‎This post is a reminder of what I went through, and proof that you never really know what you can do unless you try.

_{For everyone who participated and got curious about the finer prompt, @dove has publish it, check it out on this link you might learn something from it. The post rate 9.9 by @waqarahmadshah, I think waqarahmadshah withdrew the 0.1% for personal reason..🤣🤣I come in peace ✌️}
