' Struggle For Survival '-The Editor's Choice On" HubPages"

My very first article "Poetry of the Day - Struggle for Survival " inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's famous quote "Live like life will end  tomorrow, Learn like there is no tomorrow " .  not only got featured but got picked up for The Editor's Choice on Hub Pages today , Not that its the first time that an article of mine  got picked up for" The Editor's Choice" but this one is quite significant for the simple reason one really needs  to struggle through  levels to reach the Featured level but to get picked up for "The Editor's Choice " one has to qualify the set criteria , which is  not an easy task . It takes good 4 hours to get to the published level  and if the post has slightest of error or poor content it remains  pending for approval till it's edited to meet the minimum standard maintained by the HubPages , in simple words you have to be perfect to be published on Hub Pages lowest level and reaching the top certainly is like  a feather in the hat !
Here's the link to my post " Poetry of The Day -Struggle for Survival " It's  inspirational poetry and my inspiration behind writing this post was none other than Father of the Nation , Mahatma Gandhi's famous quote , here  is the link to "Live like life will end tomorrow,learn like there's no tomorrow" followed by the criteria to make it to Editor's Choice copy pasted below  .Please do press the like button or leave a comment good, bad or ugly just let me know that you were there ! #Quote   #writingpoetry #MahatmaGandhi  #HubPages

Editor's Choice Hubs are Hubs that readers enjoy and are hand selected by HubPages Editors. Hubs provide value in unique ways. Our Editors consider many elements when making the Editor's Choice selections (from how well written the Hub is to if we have already selected a similar piece.) Good Hubbers should expect some, but not all, of their Hubs to be selected. We will be using a variety of measures to assess your Hubs, but ultimately Hubs on HubPages.com will be editor approved; hence the name Editor’s Choice.
Here's how it works:
Only a very small percentage of Hubs will be selected; don’t be disappointed if most of your Featured Hubs are not Editor’s Choice Hubs. All Featured Hubs that aren’t Editor’s Choice Hubs will remain on your subdomain.
Editor’s Choice Hubs will be phased in slowly over the next few weeks. It will take us time to get through all of the potential candidates, so please be patient with us.
Editor’s Choice Hubs will receive greater social exposure on HubPages’ social media profiles.
Being Featured is a basic prerequisite to becoming an Editor’s Choice Hub, but there are many more factors that candidates are evaluated on, e.g., uniqueness, quality, engagement, intent, a good search experience for the reader, and whether the content is trustworthy, reputable, and authoritative.
Hubs that lose their Featured status will also lose their Editor’s Choice status.
An opt-out option is available in My Account > Profile > Edit Profile. However, each time you toggle this setting, you will need to wait 60 days before you can do so again. You can only opt-out at the account level, not on a Hub by Hub basis.
Editor’s Choice Hubs will not lose their status if they are edited; in fact, we recommend regularly editing and improving your Hubs.
The Editor’s Choice status is not necessarily permanent. At any given time, only a small percentage of Hubs will be designated Editor’s Choice.
An Editor’s Choice accolade is in the works!
