    It’s a terrible thing when being online is stressful. It’s even worst when there’s websites that could care less about how their site is managing. When payments to certain members can be stalled and when the […]

    • I spend most of my time working online, with the exception of Sundays and Wednesday nights after Bible study. Have no issues with stress, cyber bullying, etc. When people act negative towards me and make distasteful remarks, etc., I click the OFF button in my brain. Sorry. I don’t have time. I got work to do!! If the other mean person had productive work to do too, they wouldn’t be expending their energy doing dumb stuff like picking on people they probably don’t even know! As for its effects on my health for sitting too long all day, reading and typing (and watching videos)? (Yawn.) I’m too old to care. 🙂

    • I agree with you treathyle Fox, many people work a lot on the net actually for some it’s like their life depends on it, so staying away is like torture for them. The net is a media platform for everyone to do and say whatever they want. So someone just needs to be careful with the friends they make on different sites on the net, that way you are able to put tabs on everyone you chat with. One thing the internet can have all sorts of frustrating issues but the best way to avoid problems is to shut your ears from anything negative

      • Before there was eMail and the Internet, there was the telephone. In my old jobs, I spent a lot of time on the phone working with co-workers all around the United States. Never physically met some of them until long after we have developed a good working relationship. Either they came on a business travel trip to where I was working or I made an official trip to their workplace. It’s all about establishing a line of communication, working together, and getting the job done. It’s just that some folks think they can “hide” using the Internet and it gives them a license to do things to you that they would not do to your face. Those kind of people are just silly! I can’t say “childish” because I have a grandchild, about 7 years old, who handles herself on the Internet in a more mature manner than some grown folks!

    • Spending too much time on internet is injurious to our mental and physical heath because man is the man’d peace of heart and mind and inanimate things cannot speak to men just like computer does not talk to men but we read the computer in lone.

      I read once in the magazine that Researchers at the University of Gothenburg found that those who constantly use a computer or their mobile phone can develop stress, sleeping disorders and depression.
      The team studied the habits of more than 4,100 Swedish men and women, aged between 20 and 24, over the course of a year to reach this conclusion.

      ‘It was easy to spend more time than planned at the computer (e.g., working, gaming, or chatting), and this tended to lead to time pressure, neglect of other activities and personal needs (such as social interaction, sleep, physical activity), as well as bad ergonomics, and mental overload.’
      The study also found a correlation between stress and always being available on the phone, especially regarding the burden of guilt for not replying to messages.

      Even people who played video games online faced a greater risk of suffering from depression, with Thomee saying: ‘Daily computer gaming for 1–2 hours meant an increased risk for symptoms of depression in the women.

      ‘Often using the computer late at 48 night (and consequently losing sleep) was a prospective risk factor for stress and sleep disturbances, including reduced performance, in both sexes.’
      The team said people need to set limits on the time they spend in front of a screen or phone, and limit demands on their availability to avoid mental disorders.

    Oohhmy that’s so true, being honest and open in a relationship is very important. The only bad thing is when you do all that but your partner is not willing to open up, that can be very frustrating. Relationships can be very demanding at times and if one is not willing to stop and listen it can be very devastating

    Indeed love is a beautiful thing. When it starts you never think that it’s going to go to the point of marriage. Love that is built on friendship is the best love that anyone could ever ask for. Because when your friends with someone you are comfortable to do anything with them and not feel embarassed.

    • Cybersecurity issues have become front page news virtually every week – breaches, fraud, theft and a whole host of other cyber crime events read like the police blotter from a large metropolitan city where criminals run rampant.

      At the same time, regular reporting on increased cyber defense spending, more info-sharing and collaboration, new technical solutions, businesses getting serious about cybersecurity, governments legislating cyber safety through governance and regulation, and a flurry of other recent activities designed to keep us all safer have also made their way to the front of our everyday news.

      It would seem to be something of a contradiction. Each week, new stories of cyber woe. Each week new reports of improved diligence in the fight.

      This contradiction brings on the kind of cognitive dissonance that won’t go away until you’re able to fully analyze what’s happening between what’s being done to combat cybercrime and what we’re all seeing each week in the news. What it comes down to is that sooner or later, we’re all victims of cybercrime and it seems obvious that what we’re doing now isn’t working perfectly.

      Having spent the bulk of my career working in and around cybersecurity and intelligence domains, I realized recently that I’d never really looked at the problem from the perspective of businesses that are the chief consumers of cybersecurity solutions.

      So, with a few years of fresh data on hand collected from meeting each week with companies and their cyber teams to exchange info and talk about security functions inside their businesses, I set out to comb through the info I’ve collected in an attempt to at least shed some light on the dilemma.

      What follows below are just a few observations gleaned from my experiences that, for me at least, help lay the foundation for an explanation or two – and maybe a way for us to help ourselves. Be warned, though! Not all of it is particularly pretty. But, then again, neither is the cyber problem itself.

    • Yes most of the politicians coming into power misuse the power of people against the people who supported them in election. It is our nation evil fate that every politician use his power misuse against country and its people. This situation is all over the world.

      In every country misuse of power is made but especially against the poor not against the rich because the persons elect the candidate behind the scene that is why the powerful politicians cannot make laws against them at any cast.

      If we are going to resolve the closed-heartedness of our politics and our politicians, we need to find the root. And we need to really understand it so we can do something truly constructive with it and about it.

      I say that Politicians who cynically misuse the power of the state for personal or political benefit are a far greater threat to democracy than criminals, even organised gangs, write Gary W Crooke and Tony Fitzgerald, who were responsible for the Fitzgerald Inquiry.

      I see law and order crisis in all countries as one writer has said that “Law and order” is a favourite issue for ambitious Queensland politicians seeking publicity and political advantage.

      The community wants to be safe, and is understandably angry at violent thugs, organised criminal gangs, the sexual abuse of children, murder, rape and a wide range of other anti-social behaviours. A perceived “law and order” crisis allows a government to bolster its electoral support through tough talk, a feigned macho image and extreme laws.

We live in a wicked society where all sorts of people hail from but we cannot run away from it all because it is part of us and we have to face it to move on. And I concur with you on all those sentiments sitting around negative people will always bring negative vibes, thereby causing one not to be productive. And switching off the television and the radio even phone is sometimes very therapeutic. I always do that once in a while whether consciously or subconsciously and it really helps a lot it’s like waking up from a beautiful dream

    • Life on the fast track will eventually take its toll on your health and your relationships with others. The pressure to perform and live up to unrealistic expectations leaves you yearning for a simpler more peaceful life. By adjusting your schedule, reprioritizing your life, and changing your physical environment you will attain the life you desire.

      Slow down. There are times when you are so used to doing everything in a hurry that you don’t notice how fast-paced your life has become. Simply reading the words, “Slow down,” will allow you to pause for a moment and notice. This step is mentioned first so you will carry the thought with you throughout this article and beyond.

      Avoid multi-tasking. It has become popular, if not clichéd, to multi-task. Research indicates that there is a point where the quality of what you are doing declines when you try to focus on too many tasks at once.[1] Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean you have to.
      Find your threshold of diminishing return on the number of tasks you can work on. Your goal is to do things well so you can feel good about your accomplishments.

      Do nothing as if it were something. There is an art to doing nothing. Many people struggle with taking time to pause and regroup. Even if you take a five minute break to do nothing, do it.

    The cynics are people who are driven to insult or attack someone’s confidence. They’re experienced to try to create a scene so that they’re in a position to get what they want. Cynical people will say […]

    • there are many cynics people in the working industry.
      They are have the common motive, to get rid of the weaker ones and dominate the workplace like a tyrant.

      Yes, your tips are right and helpful to those people who are facing pressure over the critics of these cynics.
      Actually, you could just pretend that they are dogs barking at the wrong tree

    • Talk about cynic and critical people, it’s nothing new yo me i have heard them in my life for the longest time. And I must say that are the hardest people to work around with just like you have said.And they can also be so annoying, you know like those kinds of people who always think that you can never be right about something? I really hate that attitude and they will always try and put you down or make you look so stupid when you say something. I learned that the best way to deal with them is ignoring what they say or what they try to portray and leave it as it is I never get into an argument. It will just get you mad

    • Yes, you say right how to deal with cynics and critics in practical life. Some people are by birth critics and cynics due to inborn habit they tease men and women by their cynical critical remarks everywhere at homes and out of homes.

      Time and time again, creative people are given two pieces of advice: (1) Listen to your critics and seek feedback, but also (2) Ignore your critics and follow your intuition. Clearly, there’s a powerful contradiction here in need of reconciliation.

      Criticism is doubt informed by curiosity and a deep knowledge of a discipline related to your work. Whether the criticism you receive is constructive or not, it comes from knowledge. Informed insights like “I’m not sure someone would ever pay that much” or “you may not want to outsource that given the high-touch required” may cause you to question your approach.

      By contrast, cynicism is a form of doubt resulting from ignorance and antiquated ways. Industry experts will often express doubt based on an ingrained muscle memory of past experiences that handicaps their vision for the future. Cynical statements like,

      “People will never read a book on a computer” or “Why would anyone want to put their rolodex online?” are famous doubts expressed by experts with handicapped vision.

    • racsim happens everywhere, not only in america but asian countries too.
      The problem is the government, the prime minister who are in favor of this unfairness that had caused the public to be like this.

    • Racism might still be present up to this day but the development of erasing this have been in good rating. Unlike before, people have the voice now.

    • Racism is the “Hatred” of one person by another, based on the belief that that person is inferior because of their skin color, language, customs, place of birth, or other similar traits.Racism has existed throughout human history, often providing justification for one group’s dominance over another.

      Most people, even if they do not approve of overt racism, nonetheless have some kind of prejudice against another group of people, and these prejudices can lead to hurt, anger, and even violence at both the personal and societal levels. Overcoming your own racism requires a personal long journey,

      I think we must take these steps to stop racism all over the world as
      Self-assess. An important first step in your personal journey to overcome racial prejudice is to take stock of yourself. …
      Research the topic. …
      Stop using racial slurs. …
      Avoid cultural appropriation. …
      Be vigilant about systemic and invisible racism. …
      Engage in mental exercises.
      Racism is nothing but hallucination of mind and springs from jealousy and reed springs from evil past and inferiority complex and nothing else as I have studied.

      We’ve all been there. You see or hear something racist and you want to say or do something but you’re not sure how to go about it.

      It takes guts to stand up to racism – but you should never put your physical safety at risk. There are plenty of things you can do to make a difference that don’t involve confrontation.

      look forward in a positive way, days ahead should turn out bright

    • Quite motivating, and makes us think and ponder and see challenges as learnings in our long life journey.

    • Even though I walk through the valleys of death am not alone I see a light that shines bright because at the end of every tunnel there is a light, and there is no situation that is permanent. I may be down today but that does not determine where I will be tomorrow. There ar3 so many things that we go through this life that can make someone give up so easily but we should never now down no matter what but guess what that’s what we do when things get so tough we opt to now down and say to ourselves I can’t take this anymore it’s really putting me down, instead of sting even though I may feel like nothing is working I will push myself harder and see how far I can go. We sometimes distrust ourselves so much that we don’t achieve our goals. Why is it so hard to tell oneself look, you can do this just a little more is all you need and you will get there. Why is that so hard? It’s because we don’t have faith in ourselves. When we challenge ourseelves we are more likely to do better, things may nit work now but who knows about tomorrow? Brighter days await us ahead push on and you will never regret it.

    • Some people get brighter days in the beginning, some get in the middle and some get in the end of life and it is life and life principle on earth for earthly men.

      I think that our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.

      It’s one of those dumb days where nothing’s really wrong but nothing’s really right either and the sky can’t even choose to be white or gray.

      Some days you get up and you already know that things aren’t going to go well. They’re the type of days when you should just give in, put your pajamas back on, make some hot chocolate and read comic books in bed with the covers up until the world looks more encouraging. Of course, they never let you do that.
