Problem with DMoz

When I was new in Seo,my seniors told me about www.dmoz.org,I read and find out what importance its link carries for google.

But,sooner I realized that they have very tough criteria for selection.I read all the guidelines and submit my website into dmoz,but nothing happens for 6 months again I submit nothing happens.

I do not give importance to dmoz as such now,since most of my sites are in google without submission to dmoz, but still I would like to know how can we get approved in dmoz.If any Seo knows about then please tell me.I am ready to learn.Please comment on my blog.
