There is little we can do about what we're handed. Life can pummel us unnecessarily and mercilessly. We sometimes must bow before the pressure or adjust ourselves lest our bodies break. If we choose, however, to stay bent, then we accept our fate. If we look up to the skies and cry out for mercy, then we are still at the mercy of something seemingly greater than us.
For each step we take against the storm, we become unconquerable. In these moments, the heavens will claim us to be Invictus!
Happy Winners!

They all brought something different for me and I thoroughly enjoyed reading them. @scholaris @nonsowrites thank you for your continued support of this wonderful contest. Onwards to Invictus 😍 !LUV !PIZZA
You're very welcome. I'm happy to support this contest.
This is really fascinating. Anytime I come around posts where there is declarations of winners, I'm always awed and impressed by that, especially if I read the posts of the winners and I discover the magnitude of quality and creativity that their posts possesses.🔥🔥
I hope to be like y'all someday. 😃
A big congregations to the winners, I'm really impressed.
Thanks @scholaris for the good work and efforts to hold this contest.
Your works and efforts are exhilarating.🌟
I don't know that it's something that requires your hope. The results are publicly available and you are able to gauge your performance. Additionally, there are currently only two curators on the project. So, our grading is consistent. I'm confident to say you can take something from the data and make it work for you.
If you don't know now you know. 😁
Thanks a lot, especially for taking time to explain it to me, expect an entry and a very good quality post from me soon.
Bless up. 👍🏻
Wow thank you, last week's entry really was such a joy for me to write, it made me very happy indeed xxx
Congratulations to all the other winners xxx
It was a joy to read. I'll admit, I had to step back and collect myself a bit due to the rush of memories your article brought out. I didn't get teary eyed though because I'm a manly man. And I have no heart. :)
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you beautiful xxxx
🌸🌻
Well, looks like a lot of people took part this time. Glad to see @alekst7 back to the winners board again.
Keep up the good work @scholaris
@Alekst7's article definitely stood out apart from the rest with that STEM-article. It was a refreshing read.
Yeah it sure was. I love the way he carries out a lot of research and then breaks it down in bits by bits in ways you never expect. He's a great author, I can't stop admiring and learning from him.
With time I hope to be able to do more than just write but write to educate
A round of applause for the winners, a round of applause for @scholaris and every single participant.
Let’s go again this week
Congratulations to all winners and this is a great work☺️👍. Thank you @scholaris on the hard work and wisdom.
For the charts I really need to do better in my content and creativity. Let’s see how the journey of S3-W2 word of the weeks goes... ; )
Each season has intent. Each word has its purpose. Season 4 will be the last season this year and we'll pick up with Season 5 in January 2022. I'll put something out about that intent in the next couple of weeks.
I know the contest time is closet, still im making a entry, count it as bonus round or something xD Having new borns on house make blogging after work a bit harder.
Kids definitely changes daily lives. I look forward to reading your article.
Well took my time to perfect is as much as I wanted.
https://www.proofofbrain.blog/hive-150329/@jesustiano/why-do-we-fight-eng
That was inspired by the man on the arena segment of the citicenship speech of Roostvelt on fighting and resisting.
https://www.ecency.com/hive-124452/@jesustiano/verenice-real-story-eng-or this one was actually inspired on the word invictus like days ago, but dint summited it to the contest because I felt it was not good enought. Ironically if this was posted on pob it would be able to be selected, but neah, why bother.
Big hug bro, thanks for your time and i hope you reach out to me with your opinions on my works :)
You got it man. I will probably be able to get to it tonight, but I will get to it today. Have a good one, enjoy your new arrival, and try to get some sleep. Lol, I said "try to get some sleep". Take care.
Yeah the baby is criying RN. So i dont see any sleep anytime soon on my life XD
Well, it should get better in about a year. Your sleeping will incrementally improve.
What helped us in the beginning was to put the baby in an infant crib in our bedroom. Once our babies were able to turnover on their own we started them sleeping on their own for periods of time.
The most important thing to me though was my wife. I worked to be very patient with mommy. I did everything I could to make her comfortable while she recovered. I have as much time to making sure she could spend time with the baby and a break when she needed it.
I think Abigail (The mom and my fianceé) is having a episode of post birth depression, im triying to get a hold to a therapist for it. Is a bit hard Right now.
No way I missed it, but I've already started following you to keep an eye out for the word of the week.
Yo Scholaris, here's my entry:

Hi @teknon,
A new week is here already. This challenge always keeps me on my toes.
And that's amazing. I know you'll hit up hard this time with intriguing thoughts as your writing skills are extraordinary. Good luck to you 😁. !PIZZA
That's very flattering. I will have to make this season's challenge week special.
Hmmm.... I wonder if my brain will crack?
Nope. Not at all. It's a fun challenge not an unfun challenge. I don't think unfun is a word, though. I must be tired.
I think I'll try this :)
Thank you. I look forward to reading your article.
Oh my, quite a number of happy participants! 😃 Congratulations to all winners.... Well done @scholaris. We appreciate you and your grading team for keeping this contest going. Thank you!
