Have you ever wondered what lying does to your image? Well ofcourse you have but have you ever realized how badly it affects your entire surroundings and the way people think of you as a person…?

I was reading a book about lying, no no not to see how I can lie myself through situations but to see how a liar thinks. Learnt a lot and felt that there is so much we don’t know about this sick hobby that most people prefer rather than collecting stamps.

When a person lies:-

• No one trusts him in the long run
• No one takes him seriously
• No one feels any good being around them
• Everyone will make fun of them behind their back
• He/She forgets what they said as lies are easily forgotten by the one who made them up

What should one do to avoid being tagged as any of the things above:-

• Try to atleast be honest with yourself first
• Always make sure you tell the truth, you will thank yourself for it
• Be around people who appreciate your honesty and are honest themselves
• Give yourself a pat on the back for being honest one step at a time

What about you guys n gals.. any tips as to how some of our friends can stay away from this thing and be a better person?

Lots of users use Orkut, Hi5, Friendster and God knows what else :D I did manage to get myself an account on all of those networks but then don’t know why only kept Facebook up and scraped the rest.

Maybe it was the clutter-free design of Facebook that got me hooked to that or the functionality that they offer which makes my life so much more complicated as to who to hide what info from and who to share all my private upcoming events with :D

This is my routine on Facebook:-

• I login to facebook (oooh now that’s a surprise)
• I check if there is any response to any discussion I joined (always is as I enter all controversial topics)
• I respond back to all entries, and put a status up if I feel like it
• Check my messages if I have any and respond back
• I add a comment to some friend’s status if required

What about you? What do YOU do on Facebook?

There are a trillion reasons why one should always be optimistic. Well some people might be saying “Come on one can’t always be optimistic” … “Why not?”, I say. What is stopping us from being optimistic? Is it because the feeling one gets after being optimistic is far better than being negative and totally long faced? Well yes that’s the thing.

We humans have forgotten the art of being positive and being optimistic even in those phases of our lives in which if someone else was in we would have adviced them and said “Hey chill Man stay optimistic” but when it’s our turn :) “We” forget it completely

When you are optimistic you will find a hundred people who will make you feel as if you are an alien from another planet for being too “unreal”. Let them think that, since we are talking about your feelings, not theirs. It’s YOU who has to feel right about a situation in life, not them.

If you really feel you have to be in this world to make other’s happy by changing yourself for THEM, then you probable ARE an alien :) Get off the UFO and enter the REAL world of beautiful feelings and emotions. A place where even when you are going through the toughest of medical conditions, you have a smile on your face and are optimistic..

Saying to yourself “It will be alright, I will be ok”. Saying this will unknowingly give you so much power. Now if you say in an ill state of mind something like “Nothing will be alright, and I will NEVER be ok”. At that point and beyond NOTHING will be ok because you already stopped all paths from deep within yourself ..

Unleash the power and be optimistic NO MATTER WHAT. And yes call me nuts, but stay optimistic EVEN when things are totally looking silly and impossible. Because first of all, we see what we WANT to see and nothing is impossible :)

Do share your views about being optimistic..
