• Take an Inventory of Your Time
Social media platforms can be a waste of time or a source of income depending on how
you make use of your online presence. Some people waste a lot of time on social
media while others have used the same sites to become billionaires. It's paramount to
spend some time chatting with friends on social issues in life.

Social media doesn't help you control your emotions. Instead it controls you, your emotions
and leads to mood swings. Social media has big impact. So, don't post anythink on social
media when you're feeling emotional.

1. Share with Real Friends. When you feel the need to share something personal, make
sure you do it in person and with people you trust.
2. Turn off Most Location-based Apps.
3. Be Selective About Instant Sharing On Social Networks.
4. Regularly Update Your Settings.
5. Consider a Service That Monitors Your Reputation.
• Be Intentional About What & Where You Post
Social media can absolutely offer advantages to those who know how to use it wisely and
responsibly. Choosing the right platform for certain posts and ensuring you are wise about
what you post will help you make the most of social media. For example, if you’re an
amazing artist or a budding author, you can use social media to “publish” what you’re
doing. This not only shows your passion and aptitude, but it also puts your talent out there
in a public setting where potential universities or employers could come across it.

14. MY SAY
Social Media, when used in the right way can benefit
mankind in the same manner that it can be dangerous when
used for the opposite. It all boils down to motives and
reasons. Its use is not to be taken lightly for it has
corresponding responsibilities. Social Media in the hands of
the wrong person can be the deadliest weapon of destruction.
In the right hands, it can be the single most important tool
for finding solutions.
