Winning starts in the mind, if you've lost in your mind, then you've already lost.

This time last year, if I was told my writing will be winning an Oracle-D review contest, I must have said such was a lie, not because I didn't want to win but because I didn't see myself knowing enough to believe I will be able to win, so what did I do? I began consuming articles from every tech-entrepreneur I could lay my hands on, I came across some articles I could understand easily and others I couldn't get from the first paragraph.

Gradually, I became aware of what made a good review subconsciously, what I also realized is that a good review will pass information in the most understandable way for anyone and that was what got me hooked, how to make anyone understand what was being reviewed and I love to do it so much, I sure still have a lot to learn and I'm glad I put my focus into a tangible effort and I'm willing to positively grow in. I'm totally grateful to Oracle-D for providing the platform to enable writers hone their writing skill and benefit others.

I look forward to participating at more challenging contests from Oracle-D and I urge every prospective contestant to be consistent at writing reviews without waiting to be rewarded for it, reviews are valuable and the value really begins with you.
