The bottom line is always “Are you happy doing what you are doing?” Imagine the individual who works at a job that he hates, earning less than he wants, missing out on holidays and trips that he would love to take. He is lonely, depressed, and has never mastered the skills he needs to learn. Like a child, this immature soul has never stood on his own two feet and put forth the effort to justify his short stay on this planet. But he has all the reasons for why he is where he is! He blames the government, his wife, his children, his horoscope, his boss, the economy, his lack of education, and his bad luck. Somehow he has arrived at the idea that if he has enough excuses and circumstances to blame, he’s allowed to be miserable.

Life offers reasons or results. Some people get the idea that they both weigh the same. They don’t. If you’re not living the life you wish to live, doing the things you wish to do, no excuse will do. Look around. You can find all kinds of people beating the odds. We see men and women succeeding and experiencing happiness with the little education and even less money. These are achievers who point out that results are the only things that matter. They have made the same discovery as the man who said, “I used to blame the weather until I discovered it rains to rich people too!”

The enjoyment we derive from life is inversely proportional to how much we blame our circumstances.

Survey revealed that social networks help breed the next generation of computer hackers. The popularity of these social networking websites like Facebook, Bebo and Twitter make it easier than ever for teens to gather personal information like name of the mother or father and the date of birth of their target which are foten asked as security questions for online accounts.

A British survey revealed that kids might be tempted by dodgy ways online to make money. 1 of 3 teens would consider hacking or spying on people for fast cash. While 4 out of 10 teens, probably 12 – 13 years of age, have hacked into another person’s social networking profile. This is so because kids have tendency to do things online which they would otherwise not do in person. When it comes to hacking, girls are more likely to gather information that will lead to bank accounts and boys are likely to hack social network accounts. Parents should take this issue seriously because hacking could be so dangerous.

This is likely to happen if parents are not involved with their kid’s life. Parents need to learn how to use their computers to protect their kids and make guidelines for their children’s online activities. If you want your teens to learn computer skills, you should as well take steps to protect them and watch them when they start crossing ethical and legal boundaries.
