i always try to take a look on the "my best responses" section here in mylot. i feel happy when people find my response the best among others. i do feel flattered about it and it serves to be my motivation to work harder and strive harder from day to day. i know it makes no difference if your response is chosen to be the best reponse or not. but the feeling of joy can't be measured somehow.

don't feel disappointed. i feel happy about it. but it will hurt me if someone feels disappointed because of me. you only have 864 points and look at my points. i am over 5 thousand. so, 200 plus is not much.
keep on loving this site just like i do!

Oh my goodness I just looked at yours, OMG you have over 200!! Way to go! I can't believe you have so many. You should be very proud of yourself!! I'm kinda disappointed in myself now, ha....Keep up the great work!

I've never had the honor, but coincidentally, just today, I went back over my discussions and selected the best responses. It's only fair; so many people put time and effort into their responses never to hear a word about it again.

yep. it sure does make a little difference emotionally somehow. but nevertheless, even if not chosen as the best response, i still love it here.

Me too. I find it very encouraging if my response was chosen as the best among others. It is really an incentive to respond in the best way possible. And the thought that you are able to communicate your thoughts and was understood is already a rewarding experience in itself.

just being here in this wonderful site is already rewarding for all of us. getting paid is a bonus. and your answer being chosen as the best response is an extra push.

To me it also feels me with joy to know I've helped someone. I've always tried to give others advice in hopes of helping them. That's the only reason why I'm doing this is to try to help others. It feels great.

oh, i had been here for 5 months now. and through my way of learning here, i learned a lot... about how to start a good discussion well, how to response to topics and how to share my views the best way i can.
when i was a beginner, i find it hard to go through all these responding system and all. but i learned. you, too will learn in time. just have fun at the moment. and you'll be surprised on how much you've grown in due time.

I don't have any best responses yet. I'm sure to some extent it has to do with sometimes disagreeing with the original post, but there are also times when someone else's response was simply better written than mine.
It makes me feel like I need to take my time and think about what I'm writing more. I want to create quality posts, not because of money, ratings, or best responses, but simply because otherwise it's a waste of my time and the people reading my posts.
So the first time I get a best response I'll feel as if the quality of my posting has gone up, and someone has noticed! I'll continue to strive from that point, but I can't wait to get there!

this is the first time I am told that I can see if I have rated as giving the best response...ohi've just had a look and you're right ...it is so nice reading that someone marked your answer as the best in the discussion...
therefore, I thank you for giving me this hint about best responses (as you can see I am still a newbie here and I'm working to reach my first 100 replies!!!) and I want to say thank you very much to all the people that took the time and trouble to say my answer was the best. thank yiou very much to every one of you

I don't bother looking to see if I got best response because I give my best response pretty much every time and whether or not some one else thinks mine is the best doesn't really matter to me. I just like to share and I love to talk. :)
