First you need to develop a habit of reading a lot. Read every thread carefully and prepare yourself also it is good to have a habit of reading local and international news so that you can present meaningfully in the forum. If you don't understand something feel free to ask everyone will give you good advice. Gradually you will create threads in the light of your researched knowledge and keep replying. I hope your talent will continue to grow and you will be able to earn merit.
When we start running after something, that thing makes us tired and this is true, so one should never run after things which he can achieve even if he can do it himself. If we are capable, things will come to us by themselves, we will not have to run after them, merit is also the same. If we are capable, we will have such knowledge and such good quality writing, so the seniors present here are forced to give us merits for it is in the nature of a man that he cannot live without praising a good thing; therefore it is right that instead of running after merit, we should enable ourselves to be led by men to give us merit, and, the aim of joining this forum should never be to get merit as it affects your genuine interest in learning process.
All the new and old users here should keep in mind that this forum is the best place to tell us the solutions of all our generations and burning questions here we can learn a lot of sense that we are confused about. Therefore, our thinking and theory should be about learning or teaching as the best way to convey the knowledge we have to others. Deliver, and if you are worthy, you will find them yourself.
