An article accepted...can't help feeling important

[kunalsalvi]

Hello everyone....i'm an engineering student living in India. My first submitted article ,' The History Of Search engines' ,which was meant for a public request,was rejected with an explanation that CC only accepts completely original content. There was no one to blame but myself as about 95% of the article was completely original and i lazily lifted a couple of definitions from another such article i had read. Having learnt my lesson, i submitted an article about health which was absolutely my own and it got accepted after what felt like an eternity( i guess requested articles get first preference). Considering the draconian rules of acceptance here at CC, I couldn't help feeling important all day long and walked around the house with a stupid grin on my face.My old man didn't think it was that big a deal and mumbled something about everyone writing blogs these days. I was feeling too content and blissed to give him an explanation about how CC worked ....i guess i will just flaunt around some goodies that i will buy after my first payment and then he will know
