BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU

As written communication lacks facial expressions, body language, inflection and tone of voice, online communication becomes tricky at times.

It becomes more crucial for those who are using online classrooms to adhere to same standards of communication online that you follow in real time. We sometimes overlook while communicating virtually the basic civility believing 'No one's Watching’, But be known that you are being observed.

I want to quote 1984's epic statement written by George Orwell, which is apt for the cyberspace,

“BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.”

Remember communication is never private online. Classroom communication is archived. Anything on the server can be subpoenaed.

Know where you are in the cyberspace. Be it a virtual classroom moderated by an instructor or a social media chat room open to millions, YOU are being watched.

So follow certain rules to avoid any conflict:

Respect other people's time and bandwidth.
Make yourself look good online.
Respect other's privacy.
Do not gossip.
Share knowledge
Maintain civility
Mind your language
Do not yell (write in ALL CAPS!!)
Help keep flame wars under control
Follow institutional rules
Must adhere to core rules of netiquettes.

Knowledge is power . Empower yourself .To learn more about this,Watch:

What If and Why Not?

Not Yet ……is the phrase to be used when we lose. Pick yourself up to strive one more time rather than say, ‘ I failed’ . When the focus is winning and success, we lose. People who are oblivion of winning and work for excellence, with passion and love; the success knocks at their door at the time when least expected. Best talents may remain hidden or be lost at the worst as they lack the grit to stumble and get up on the roadblocks on way to success. Lack of willingness to fail and start all over again is the root cause of failure not the absence of technical or life skills. All these skills are acquirable if you have the grit. REMEMBER: To grow a carrot, the farmer must give it fertilizer, water, and soil—but must allow for the carrot to grow and spread its own roots; only this way can the carrot find its path to the most nutrients to ensure the strongest growth. Same goes for us, learn the right skills, acquire knowledge and strive but do not focus on winning all time, our...

Mastering Interviews

bhabb bhabb bhabbb bhab................... The heart is ready to explode and brain is bursting on the seams. What are they going to ask?How will I answer their questions?Will my explanations be enough to satisfy their curiosity?What if I fell down while entering?My hands are sweaty ,it will leave a bad impression.So many Ifs and buts before an interview. First of all Congratulations on landing this interview.Rejoice in the glory as many who applied have not been asked to be there.Now the question is .....What makes the recruiter Tick? Psychology is more important than logic.What makes a few brands/people eternal is their grasp of human psychology.They know how to nail the stuff about us as human beings.They know how to handle the questions thrown to them.In fact they see beyond the question and decipher the coded meaning between the lines. "There are no stupid questions,but do you have smart answers?" Questions they ask and what they are really asking is differ...

Sketch Your Future

Our language creates our reality. The words we utter resonate in universe and set the intentions of Universe to give us what have we asked for! ‘I never got lucky,’…..Ok! Universe heard you. Little fortunate incidents of winning a lotto or Bingo will never come your way. But I also know people who say, ‘I always win’ and they always have stories to share that how fortune favors them. Language is a tool for sketching your future .Use language to nudge universe towards different ways of giving you what you aspire for. Whenever your rational, logical brain tries to tell you that your PRESENT state is ok and comfortable; just take these three steps: Stop……Think……… REPHRASE! If you are stuck with a mucky job and an irritating boss, or a girl you want to talk to, just say a better job with a supportive boss is looking for you instead of my salary package is fine /my boss is not that bad/ why she will look at me when she can have anyone, Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Poke your future with positi...
