In our modern world today, smartphones have become an essential part of our lives. A very powerful tool that can help us do great things, and at the same time, can lead us astray if we are not careful. A lot of people tend to rely on their phones for knowledge rather than using it as a tool for learning and growth.
Let us consider the following points;
- Don’t Carry a Big Phone with a Small Brain: It’s easy to get caught up in the allure of having the latest, most expensive phone. However, the value of your phone is not determined by its price but by how effectively you use it. Investing in a high-end phone is not inherently wrong, but it becomes a mistake if you do not invest in your personal development. A big phone with a small brain is useless, your brain has the capacity to store up information as much as your phones does. Feed your brain with valuable information, skills, and insights, your phone should be a gateway to new opportunities.
- Stop Criticizing People with Cheap Data: Social media can be a breeding ground for negativity and unnecessary criticism. Instead of using your data to tear others down, use it to build yourself up. Focus on improving your own life and contributing positively to the lives of others.
- Don’t Condemn People’s Content on Social Media When Your Life Needs Mending: People that are quick to condemn or bring others down are most of the time, those who already feel defeated by their own mindset. It is easy to judge others, but before you do, take a look at your own life. Work on mending and improving yourself, be a source of encouragement and positivity online rather than spreading negativity.
- Ethical effect: Aside from depending on your phone for every single information, it reduces the extent of concentration you can give. Imagine having a conversation with someone and the person’s eyes keeps going up and down his phone, that is a wrong communication ethic we need to unlearn.
Do not always look for the easiest way out, learn how to maximize the use of your phone for personal and professional growth.
God bless you.
