Beyond Best Response

Hi friends, We all are participating (f)actively in this forum against various discussions started by our co-lotters. While we try to give our best response, only one of many such responses gets selected as BR. Of course, it is the initiator's choice(..utmost we can pray !!!) Further, having declared the BR of a discussion (gets diplayed under the initiator's discussion regarding the 'garlanding'), would you still like to/go for further discussions? Any action is with a goal and here it is the BR. I feel participation after selection BR is like just running your ideas w/o effective result, which energy if saved can be used for another discussion. What is your BR to this? I am now ready to award you a BR for befitting reply

I do not pay very much attention to BRs. I am very appreciative of them when I receive them, but it is not my 'goal' to obtain one. If I have something to add to a discussion, I will do it anyway wheither a BR has been awarded or not.

I just disagree with you about the 'goal'. Everybody toils for something or the other. Without any thing, be it cash or any kind, one may not have the courage to do., say 99.999% Even running a charity, the goal is 'satisfaction' or 'fame' etc.. Thanks for your response and giving your views even after the BR has been awarded in this case.

Actually i may differ a little from this. I still answer a discussion if the BR is already chosen. i answer when the subject attracts me. i know i get very very less BR.so it does not matter whether Br is chosen or not.

Thanks for making this topic pulling out of 'Discussions with no responses'. Really 'shubh'(fabulous). Yes, you have a point there. But my idea was, the world is always competitive and a prize is an attractive element whether we get attached or not. That happens from our childhood !! We lose the interest comparatively when the prizes are announced, a sort of human tendency. Still, it is good to hear that you come out with your valuable inputs and make your presence felt. That is really a positive sign and I sign off here
