Daily Success Stories from ILLUMINATION

Curation Record Day

1400 ILLUMINATION writers are supporting 12,000+ Medium members

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything. — Napoleon Hill

As our writers and readers dramatically increasing, our stories are gaining more and more visibility. Not only quantity but also the quality of stories are improving rapidly. Many of writers are quickly leveling up with collaboration and cross-pollination. I am pleased to inform you that 16 stories from ILLUMINATION were distributed to multiple Medium topics.

I want to start my bulletin by introducing these remarkable stories distributed to topics today. I enjoyed reading these stories, gained different perspectives; and my mind was stimulated with the fascinating content. Diversity of topics excites me. I truly feel blessed by the contributions of our writers. Never boring moments on ILLUMINATION!

To increase the curation chance for our writers, we are taking some educative and supportive measures. For example, I am compiling all the curated articles and provide easy access to our writers. This artifact can help them to search for topics and gain insights from the curated stories from our publication. Some of our editors are mentoring our writers to achieve higher curation rate. You can request help and discuss details on our Slack channel.

Without further ado, let me introduce you our stories distributed to Medium topics today.
