FIVE THINGS NOT TO SHARE IN FACEBOOK

Washington, May 18 (ANI): Almost every user likes to share everything on their Facebook page but certain updates can lead to criticism, embarrassment and even job termination.
So here's a shortlist of what you shouldn't share on the social networking site, reports CBS news.
1.That your job sucks.
If you say this, you could be fired.
2.That you hate your ex.
In the event that you and your boyfriend get back together, or you and that friend you had a falling out with start talking again, you'll look like a total sucker. It's okay to let your emotions govern your thoughts but keep your feelings off your Facebook until you've started to think clearly about said ex.
The important thing to remember about social networks is that although you have the option to delete your comments, sometimes it can be too late. It's immediate and someone might've laid eyes on it before your retraction.
3.That you're going on vacation and then give the dates you're away.
You could be robbed. A recent study found that thieves scan social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter for folks in targeted neighbourhoods before they strike.
4.That you love yourself.
In fact, don't give any indication that you're your biggest fan. Your followers will only think the opposite. It's the biggest barometer of insecurity. Researchers at the University at Buffalo also found that women who base their self-worth on appearance and what people think of them tend to upload pictures very frequently.
5.That you're mean.
Saying mean things about people can only make you undesirable-for potential employers, dates, friends and strangers. (ANI)

I Smile

I smile to hold those happy moments

They’re rare, but I find my way to cherish them
They may not be so near, yet I try to find them…

I smile when life takes its own course
And there’s joy around; when
Happiness is shared and family
Is free from troubles, worries and pain…


I smile when justice is done to those who are denied
Their little tears of joy; their quiet share of laughter
Their small and beautiful decorated rooms
Their lighted faces and merrymaking moments


I smile when I desire to achieve success
And when success strikes
I want to leap forth, sprint like a deer
Fly like a bird…


I smile smelling the perfume
Of promise that brings in new moments
Of mirth and bliss
Of life’s ‘blessed’ pleasures
That resides within my heart…


I still smile when success seems to
Drift away in life’s journey; and
Life seems to be at the edge
Of crossroads – the call is difficult
Yet vital!


I smile at these ironies of success!
I smile at these few flashes of smiles
I smile – the urge to break from the past
Clings more now….

I smile again, now that the doors that opened
Slowly shuts – ironies of destiny;
Ironies of smile – sometimes smiling
And smilingly shedding a tear and
Sometimes just letting it pass quietly


A new dawn awaits as the
Wild breeze blows…
A new smile in the air brings
Yet again, the perfume of promise…
