Mohamed Abd El Rahman Interact’s Software Engineer is highlighting  some main misuses of the Internet that are most relevant today:

  • Email spamming:

And it’s present in the form of spams, and when we mention spams it’s either one of these

  1. It’s unwanted
  2. This is the deciding factor

And one of the major negatives for spams are that it uses up a lot of bandwidth.

  • The well of negativity:

The internet is offering you mainly everything that you will ever need in your daily lifestyle, work, education or even your health.

But it also provides you information that will have a negative influence on you, such as violence related videos and documentaries about serial killers.

  • Pranksters:

Internet is also full of pranksters, it’s easy to play pranks over the internet and never get caught. And nowadays it has been easier to prank due to the development of technology that has made every illegal thing achievable.

  • Ignorance of what you have:

Here in Egypt we have ignorance in technology, everybody has a smartphone and a laptop or a PC. But they only use these devices to make phone calls or messaging friends. For example “a government organization” they have IMac’s and they use Windows on them, this is a great example of the misuse and the ignorance of technology.

  • Time wastage:

Time waits for none and we always seem to forget this, we always use the web to complete a certain task and then you end up doing nothing. And then you discover you have wasted like 3 or 4 hours of your day.

  • Hacking:

“My Facebook account has been hacked” we have all heard this sentence, but no your Facebook account was not hacked it’s all about that your password wasn’t strong enough or that you gave your password to one of your friends and you forgot to change it.

  • Identity theft:

Our information is accessible to the criminals through the malware softwares we all fall victims. Second whatever we put on the social media websites is accessible to lots of people. How can you guarantee that you don’t have any account on your friend list that is a fake one ?

Not only the identity that can be stolen but also the pictures are cropped and can be used in other places such as porn sites or brazen ads.

know howSo be Careful How you use technology…Ignorance in the age of information is a Choice.

Keep your THOUGHTS POSITIVE because your thoughts becomes Your ATTITUDE…Your BEHAVIOR…Your HABIT…Your VALUES and Your DESTINY.

Nevine Adel InsideOut Today Online Community Manager  shares today some important tips for a positive work environment!

THE FORMULA OF HOW TO MAINTAIN A POSITIVE WORKING ENVIRONMENT:

WORK HARD

Your workplace is your second home away from home so you should be happy there we spend at work from 8 to 10 hours daily which is more than we spend at our homes So our work = our life So how to have a happier life? 

The answer is simple we have to build a positive working environment we don’t need our companies to do it for us we can simply create it:

A. BEFORE YOU GO TO WORK:

Sunday post

  1. Always wake up a little earlier to finish your daily morning routine without stress (un-stressful mornings = better days)
  2. Flush your negative thoughts and move on
  3. Always have optimistic quotes or sayings on the fridge so it’s your good morning start of the day (everyday a positive quote is like an energy booster)
  4. Get yourself in the right mindset (before you leave your home, talk to yourself. Say something like this to yourself, “I refuse to allow anyone to steal my peace. There’s nothing anybody can say to me today to make me upset.”)
  5. A friendly Good Morning smile since you jump out of your bed..smile to everybody…A smile is a ray of light that shines on your face – A smile is like an inhaler that delivers oxygen to all the body and the bodies around:) 

B. AND NOW YOU ARRIVED TO THE OFFICE:

take a smile

  1. Again give more smiles 🙂  
  2. Be enthusiastic Enthusiasm is infectious. If you’re going to spend eight hours a day at work, why not make it more than just tolerable. Make an effort to smile, laugh, and enjoy your job. If you work to create a more positive attitude in the workplace, others will follow.
  3. A small gesture can be done here ( try to do a random act of kindness) bring your colleagues candies, chocolates etc…(small gestures have big impact)
  4. Create opportunities to have fun like celebrating a colleague birthday or his upcoming wedding

working happy

C. AND NOW YOU WILL START WORKING….THE HARDEST PART OF THE DAY:)

So Let’s Make Today A GOOD DAY and let’s WORK SMART for a better POSITIVE PRODUCTIVE DAY………..Want to have a positive work atmosphere INVENT IT:

  • Manage workloads and priorities…Treat Work as your own Business
  • Identify problems and set goals We can’t change the way we think if we can’t identify the problem.
  • Ensure open communications it works like magic
  • Say “I can” more than “I can’t”…Remember it always can be done
  • Refocus your attention when you feel that you lost your energy relax your mind and push away stress by listening to a nice song or simply take a round in the office and make jokes with some of your colleagues….simply recharge
  • Look for the bright side in every situation…everything can be framed positively
  • Spin your Mind and shake your thoughts:
Negative self-talk Positive spin
I’ve never done it before. It’s an opportunity to learn something.
It’s too complicated. I’ll tackle it from a different angle.
I don’t have the resources. Necessity is the mother of invention.
There’s not enough time. Let’s re-evaluate some priorities.
There’s no way it will work. I can learn to make it work.
It’s too radical a change. Let’s take a chance.
No one communicates with me. I will start the conversation.

 

D. WHAT TO TOTALLY AVOID AT WORK:

  • Personal Problems Leave the “private you” at home and only allow the “professional you” to come to work 
  • Taking things Personally…STOP being dramatic…alternatively Speak up and Let the person know how you are feeling
  • Arguing for the sake of being right…arguing is always pointless
