Love your Tweets



Social media is always a mystery for me. The more I involved, the more I explore. Dont you think today’s attention is focused on popular recreational social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. People who jumped into social media early have been developing guidelines and standards ad hoc, but it makes sense to analyze their progress. Most of the people think that all the platforms perform same functions (misconception). Yes! that is the BIG mistake people do and that’s why they don’t get the right result from any platform. Recently I saw an email from a friend asking about how to get the fine result from Twitter?

Well this was the most interesting email for me because I was also new at Twitter. But for a favor, I researched about how to use twitter. I figured out that most of us don’t know about what are the common do’s and dont’s? Today I want to share that research with all my friends and readers.

Your twitter account should be an extension of your personality. If you are not using your own picture or company logo this will be a big mistake. People respond to personalities, show that there is a human behind those tweets. If you have been exhausted by tweeting, try alternate options. Use automatic tweet system if you are not available. This will help you out but don’t leave your twitter alone. Timing your tweets give you a larger reach and makes you look much more professional. Your tweet should be creative. Nobody cares about you, if there is nothing to grab their attention.Your followers are the treasure for you so don't loose them with these small mistakes.
 
People want to hear something new and exciting; a RT is something that has been said already.  Use them sparingly. Twitter is the best social media platform for starting a conversation with new people. This can have a positive impact on your other potential Twitter followers. I hope these entire mistakes you guys avoid doing and making twitter more useful for yourself or your company. Best of luck!!!

Home Schooling



Home schooling! We often heard this name but never realized what is it? It is a kind of a choice made by some parents to provide elementary education to their children in their own home. Many parents are frustrated by unsafe condition, high fees schedule or lack of religious environment. There are so many other advantages for homeschooling such as with more personal attention, children often understand the material more quickly instead of lagging behind because they don't understand. Parents also like being able to enjoy more time together as a family, instead of a few hurried hours in the evening.
On the other hand I will not ignore the disadvantages also. Home schooling is often lonely because children aren't socializing with other children their own age. Parents loose temper instantly rather than a teacher which are more trained and have control on their emotions. Usually parents think that they are not qualified to handle homeschooling. But the reality is that when you use the resources available in the community, there are very few limitations. The parent doesn't need to know it -- the parent needs to know how to find it. That's homeschooling.
Homeschooling can be rewarding, but can also be overwhelming and frustrating if your confidence is not there.  Time spent researching; planning and getting inspiration can challenge even the most organized mom. My friend, Donna Ashton created The Waldorf Connection to give homeschoolers access to experts, teachers & visionaries. All workshops are done “online”, so you can listen in your pajamas after the kids are in bed! Or, download to your Ipod. You can learn more by visiting her website. http://thewaldorfconnection.com/

Self Evaluation


This is my first time that i am writing some thing about myself, actually this is going to be the  first time i evaluate myself. It is very hard but once you decide to do its like a piece of cake. What exactly is the self evaluation? It is to know our self to understand our self. Generally we always try to understand people around us, the love once, friends or siblings. We spend ages to know others but some times we feel like we have wasted our time. Do we ever want to understand our self that what we are? what can one do or what qualities do we have? No! we have people around us who spend their whole life without knowing that what exactly they have ? We can not say that they spend life, NO, actually the life spend them.
A very good friend of mine said to me  " I know you very well better than you know yourself". I laughed at that time. But one day i realized YES i don't know myself . What i wanted to do and what i am doing? I just don't want my life to spend me.
So i started evaluating myself by each and every like or dislike, every mood, every morning and every night. It was like knowing some one else. I wake up every morning and i want every day a new color around my self. I was thinking what kind of nature is this. Every time i met new people i make them friend, i have learned a lot from them. I still learning daily , a new meaning of life. 
People usually evaluate them self only to choose a right career for them. It is not important in self evaluation. If you know yourself, it will be very easy to know others. Its like seeing in the mirror. I really enjoy knowing myself and now i can proudly say that i know my self very well.
