Sentence 96

Before
 Safety as always been our first and foremost tenant and with the #ToyotaYaris, we pushed the limits to bring you the best. Share stories of your #Yaris experience. 

After
Safety has always been our first and foremost tenet and with the #ToyotaYaris, we have raised the bar to bring you the best. Share stories of your #Yaris experience. 

Comments:
Changed 'Safety as' to 'Safety has' and fixed the typo.

Changed 'tenant' to tenet'. #wordchoice

Changed 'we pushed the limits to bring you the best. ' to 'we have raised the bar to bring you the best.'

Since the earlier part of the sentence has "has always', we need to say 'have raised the bar...' in the second part of the sentence. The commonly used idiom is 'pushed the envelope' not 'pushed the limits'.

#Idiomchoice - raised the bar

Sentence 66

Before However, I believe there are a few truths that the frenzy over growth hacking often tends to gloss over or miss. After However, in all the frenzy raised by growth hacking, I believe there are a couple of truisms that are often glossed over. Notes: Truth vs. Truism - Word Choice few truths vs. couple of truisms There were only 2 truisms raised in the article from which I took the 'before' version. So I felt it more appropriate to say 'couple of truisms'. Rephrased the 'after' sentence for clarity of thought and expression.

Sentence 1

Before: Our children are our future, is an often quoted statement, which ideally refers to the fact that it is our children who have the power to initiate growth, progress and change in the times to come. After: Our children are our future. This is an oft-quoted statement, which re-iterates that it is our children who have the power to initiate growth, progress and change in times to come.  Notes a. Never place a comma before a verb. ‘Is’ - is a verb.  b. 'often quoted’ is usually written as 'oft-quoted’ c. Don’t use ‘ideally’ unnecessarily. d. 'the times to come.’  to be changed to ‘times to come’. ‘The’ is a definite article. Please read up on the use of definite articles here:  https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/540/01/ e. Avoid constructions with ‘the fact that’ as much as possible.

Sentence 82

Before The timelier and more enhanced the insights, the greater an organisation’s ability to stay ahead.  After Timely insights enable an organisation to stay ahead.  Notes: 'The timelier and more enhanced the insights' is not parallel. So I have rephrased. Also, timelier? We only say timely. Do not say 'organisation's' , i.e, do not form the possessive of a non-living thing.  Have also cut down the sentence for brevity.
