4 THINGS YOU MUST NEVER DO ON SOCIAL MEDIA

With each passing day, technology improves, and with improvement comes all manner of danger. Some time ago, one could be less worried about where they log into, and the type of things they download, however, these days, the story is changing; hence the need for more care on our part.
There are a lot of criminals and evil minded people out there who are looking for a way to scam or destroy you. The slightest mistake on your part can grant them the power to.
If you use social media in any way, you must be very wary of the following…
SYNCING ALL YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS
There was a time I tried this, because it looked cool, however, I soon came to realise that these social media platforms differ. What works for platform A may not work with another, so it’s better to operate them individually. For example some platforms have language and characters that are unique to them. Imagine how awful it’d be if you used them on another platform as a result of synchronization.
AVOID USING A SINGLE PASSWORD FOR ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS
It’s easier to use one password for all your social media accounts and email because it saves you the stress of writing all of them down for recollection purposes, however it’s unsafe and exposes your accounts to easier hacking. If a hacker gets a hold of one of your passwords, he’ll try it on other accounts, and he’d be having a field day if it works on all of them. The same goes for your email too. It’s always better to use at least, 3 or 4 different passwords for all your accounts. Make sure your passwords aren’t easy to guess. If possible, combine letters with numbers for the best security.
DISCLOSURE/BEING CARELESS WITH LOGIN INFORMATION
Some of us have no problems with sharing our social media accounts and passwords with the people close to us. It does seem harmless because you trust them, and they ‘wouldn’t hurt you’, but even if they didn’t, they could be careless with it, and if it gets into the wrong hands, that is trouble. If you ever have to use a public computer, don’t forget to logout afterwards to avoid it getting into bad hands.
AVOID LINKS
Some links are harmless, but there are countless others that are dangerous, and should be ignored. Clicking on a hacker-link would only expose your account to malware or dangerous people. If you notice a link in a Private Message or email you never solicited for, ignore it; likewise attachments, as these can ruin your account.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mr. Riley was already there when they arrived, sitting on the sand, eyes closed in a deep meditation. He was shirtless, wearing camouflage-patterned shorts similar to the ones The Spellbinder styled the day he appeared on the beach and a pair of rubber diving booties with smiley face emojis scattered over them. You would have been more than amused if you saw him in them. An assistant rushed out of the billionaire’s home the instant he raised a hand toward the heavens, displaying the universal victory sign. Three crisp pages of paper were effic...

THE CROWN YOU CARRY: A Letter to My LOVELY Daughter FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...
