It happened July 20th, 2008. First time ever I win a blog contest. It’s called Exposure Contest and it was held by Mr. Javo. Here is the announcement :

It feels good to be among the winners. And the text link I won is worth $10 which is the price of such a link on Mr Javo’s blog.

The contest was launched by Javo in order to increase his RSS subscriptions for the Blogging Idol contest. It’s a scrambled word contest, where he sends a new letter of a 10-letter word to discover with every new post, and this letter is only visible through the RSS feed. So all I did was  putting the letters together after 9 posts and guess the word : DEDICATION. And I was among the first 3 to guess right.

So thanks to “dedication”, I actually won. Which is a nice life lesson given by this contest and Javo. Dedication is what makes a loser a winner and what makes difficult endeavors easy. And it’s very true in blogging as in general life matters.

This also drives me to talk about the contest as a powerful tool to reach punctual goals. Javo is doing great in increasing his RSS count and I think the contest contributed a lot.

Anyone has something to share about how dedication made him succeed in something? Or about contests and how they helped achieve some goals?
