Whatspp Tricks and Abuses to Avoid

(21 Ways to Add Value at here)
They say either you fire them up or you'll have to fire them (article at here).  Even though Whatsapp is so common today, few people know how to use Whatsapp correctly.  In fact, the following are the 7 most common mistakes people make in Whatsapp.  Know them, avoid them, and you'll be seen as different from the rest:
  1. Abuse chatroom.  Some people use the chatroom for very trivial personal things, like their new nail painting.  The point is if less than half of the 30 people in the chatroom is interested in you, you will be seen as egoistic
  2. Never identify themselves.  Some people assume that people will key in their phone number inside their address book, so they often did not state their name at the end of the message. The result: people just ignore your message for they don't know you. 
  3. Use too many short forms.  Like 'WTF', some may see you as vulgar, when what you meant is simply a congratulatory 'Wow, That's Fantastic'
  4. Send to Chatroom instead to the person directly.  Like you want to wish your friend happy birthday, you can just message him directly.  If you wish him in the chatroom, soon your other 29 friends in the chatroom will also wish him.  Imagine your birthday friend thank everyone's wishes, your chatroom will have 60 messages for just one message!   The amount of distraction and noise this has created will make some people leave the chatroom fast. 
  5. Long videos, especially those videos that have poor sound quality.  This really jam up the network and make people feel irritated
  6. Newsfeed.  Some people treat the chatroom like a newsfeed, they just re-post whatever news or traffic news they saw on their mobile devise.  The point is that if you do this, you're not adding value because people do read news on their mobile phones.  If you want to re-post news, make sure you add value, like being the first or put in things that people may not know
  7. Long messages that just copied from e-mail or their computer.  This must be the most frustrating, for it just choke up the internet and make people burst their data plan.  Be considerate, and use other ways like e-mails, and not abuse Whatsapp
Remember, the chatroom in Whatsapp is created for us to have better communication, not have more irritating communication.  By Andy Ng, Chief Trainer of Asia Trainers, listing of courses at here.  Related articles:

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot
