THREE KINDS OF PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

In my years of observation on social media, I've discovered that there are three categories of people who exist on this space:

1. Producers:

These are the ones who generate the content,feed the minds of other people on social media and determine the social media environment. Please do everything to be here.

2: Consumers:

These are the set of people who consume content created by producers. Of course most producers are also in this category as well. But then it is a pity that there are a lot of people who exist only on this space. In this category,there are two sub-sets; (a) Selective consumers: People who select the kind of information they consume. Some of them have decided to only pay attention to pictures, comics and lewd content while some others have decided to focus on information that would get them better. (B) Nonselective consumers: These ones are the "anywhere belle face" kind of people, they take in all kinds- both good and bad.

3. Copiers:

Wow...what a special set of people they are. Many of them have never written anything original on social media except their pictures. Some of them are confused fellows,they are full time consumers who want to exist in the producers' space but have no content, so they copy from the producers and take it to their fellow consumers to make it look like they are also producers but na lie we know them. How? Because you see the same post in like five other places. Lol. Some persons won't be happy with this post because it looks like I'm exposing them. But no vex. The issue I have with many of them is that they copy without acknowledging the source of the write up.

I think everyone on social media should be on three levels.

Produce something as well, don't just be a consumer. Establish your presence with meaningful content on social media. If you don't know what to write, go and learn. And out of the abundance of the things you're learning,you will have things to write.

Be a consumer too,preferably a selective consumer. One who consumes things that are pure,virtuous and have a good report- whether videos,pictures or writeups. You can learn a lot from social media, don't just chat alone. Learn. When you see meaningful posts, don't say it is too long, find out time and read it.

Then of course be a copier, but copy with sense. Copy and share meaningful materials with your friends. Don't be stingy with information. Start with this one. And do not forget to indicate the source.

Thank you

I value you!

DON'T PUT YOUR HAPPINESS IN SOMEONE ELSE'S POCKET

I was having a chat with someone sometime last week and in between the chat,the person said "make me happy" and I was like seriously! Don't bother to ask how the chat ended but that statement got me thinking; if I can make you happy,it means I can also make you sad. And that's just an extension of how many of us have put our happiness in someone else's pocket- so we get angry when they want us to and become happy at their own volition. But this can drain your self esteem especially when you're surrounded with people who are negative.

And please don't get me wrong. A research showed that 80% of our entire happiness is determined by our relationships. But then I think your ultimate happiness should be in your hands and we should be able to regulate our state and mood consciously even if it will mean to change our association.
Even as a married (wo)man,its important you different your role and your identity and learn how to switch roles to keep your self in a happy state. So when your spouse attacks your role you can switch to your identity and when your identity is attacked you can switch to your role. But as much as possible don't put your entire happiness in the hands of anyone,in fact when they know that you have done so there might be tendency for manipulation. And that's why I tell people,if you're not happy single you can't be happy when you're double. Your individuality is a serious prerequisite for relationship/marriage.
Marriage won't make you happy

Money won't make you ultimately happy

Own your happiness. Be in charge of your own happiness.

Learn to use the power of vocabulary to change your mood- your words have a lot of power in the regulation of your mood. For instance the intensity of feeling you have when you say "I'm furious" and when you say "I'm peeved" are different. That's the power of words.

You can also change your physiological state to change your psychological state- your body language can change how you feel.

And finally for today,make sure your association is a positive one and not a toxic one.

I value you
