"Freedom Of Expression"

Are We Overwhelmed by Our Freedom Of Expression?


Are we aware of how we are using our rights in expressing ourselves,are we not abusing our freedom of expression just to pull down other people.

Are we expressing ourselves by conscience ?
Or are we expressing ourselves because of the benefits?

Many of us abuse the freedom of expression just to satisfy ourselves not considering the feelings of others & how it can affect their lives.

Many of us our narrow minded & practice their freedom of expression without considering how they can destroy other lives.

Expressing ones thought can build or destroy a person,have we ever thought of that!

I don't say that we should suppress our views & judgement but what i'm saying is be more tactful & responsible expressing your thoughts & views. Analyze if you express just for the sake of talking,do it make sense?what would be the result of my action?what will be the effects of my words to my own life or to other lives?Don't just look at what the present will be but you should consider what would be the result of your action in the future.Expression of thoughts through words are very powerful it can uplift one person or it can kill anothers future.Words can changed anyone's life in either way for the better or becoming worse.So i advice that we should be more careful in the words we say & how we say it.Painful words can plant hatred in ones heart that can affect this person through a lifetime.

Negligence & Irresponsible expression can cause anger, hatred & war.

Tactlessness can destroy innocent lives .Words can ruin someone's dreams & hopes.

Do we really want it to be this way?Would we want a change that will help others at the same time will help ourselves to achieve a truly fulfilling life?

Why won't we try to help others in our small special way that can change other lives forever,small deeds it may seem but the effect will last for a lifetime & it can make your life worth living.

Why Slander?Why Gossip?Why Criticize?Why Judge Others without Considering the cause & effect that it can bring.

What are your motives?
What are your intentions?
What will be your benefits?

Are you being reasonable?

To tell you honestly, I myself is so straight forward in dealing & expressing my emotions but i always try to think if what would i say will harm others.If i know i could hurt someone's feelings , i ask myself does he/she deserve it?If yes,what will be the result of my words.Will it only just affect him or there are other people that will be affected of my action.If all this questions are answered then that will be the time i'll decide if i should voice out or just sacrifice my views for the sake of other people that would be involved in the situation that they don't have to be in the first place.

"4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE"

There are a few things that can be done in
times of grave emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver
or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

1 . FIRST : Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is
112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network
and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any
existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly
this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

2 . SECOND :

Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry?
This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you
lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home
on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock but! ton,
holding it near the mob! ile phone on their end. Your car will unlo ck. Saves someone from having to
drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone
who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'

3 . THIRD : Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To
activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve
and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will
get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

4 . FOURTH : How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone

To check your Mobile phone's serial number,
key in the following digits on your phon! e: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen.
This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere
safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and
give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even
if the! thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You
probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever
stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no
point in people stealing mobile phones.


This is the kind of information people don't
mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends

"Tips on handling telephone calls"

"Good Telephone Habits for Everyone"

Whether answering the phone or making phone calls, using the proper etiquette is a must in order to maintain a certain level of professionalism. Proper etiquette leaves callers with a favorable impression of you in general.

You'll also find that others treat you with more respect and are willing to go out of their way to assist you if you use the proper etiquette.

"Answering Your Phone"

*Answer your calls within three rings (if possible).
*Always identify yourself when you answer the phone: "This is ______."
*Speak in a pleasant tone of voice - the caller will appreciate it.
*Learn to listen actively and listen others without interrupting.
*When you are out of the office or away from your desk for more than a few minutes, forward your phone to voicemail.
*Use the hold button when leaving a line so that the caller does not accidentally overhear conversations being held nearby.
*If the caller has reached a wrong number, be courteous. Sometimes a caller is transferred all over campus with a simple question and the caller gets frustrated. If possible, take the time to find out where they should be calling/to whom they should be speaking.

"Making Calls"

*When you call someone and they answer the phone, do not say "Who am I speaking with?" without first identifying yourself: "This is _______. To whom am I speaking?"
*Always know and state the purpose of the communication.
*When you reach a wrong number, don't argue with the person who answered the call or keep them on the line. Say: "I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number. Please excuse the interruption." And then hang up.
*If you told a person you would call at a certain time, call them as you promised. If you need to delay the conversation, call to postpone it, but do not make the other person wait around for your call.
*If you don't leave a number/message for someone to call you back, don't become angry if they are not available when you call again.
*Keep in mind the Golden Rule when it comes to phone etiquette. Don't make people dread having to answer their phone or call your department.

"How to End Conversations Gracefully"

There are several ways that you can end a long phone call without making up a story or sounding rude:

*Leave the conversation open.
*Promise to finish your discussion at another time.
*End on an "up" note.
*Tell the person how much you've enjoyed speaking with him/her.

As long as you are honest and polite with the other person, you shouldn't have any problems getting off the phone and onto something else.

"The Ten Commandments of cell phone etiquette "

Well I've reached the point with cell phones
where I feel the need to lay down the law. There are some real abuses of wireless technology being perpetrated all around us, and the time has come to create some social order out of the cell phone chaos.

This is by no means an exhaustive list simply because as the technology evolves, new annoying traits will surely emerge. But commandments usually come in tens, so think of this as the first Ten Commandments of cell phone etiquette, with amendments to follow:

1. Thou shalt not subject defenseless others to cell phone conversations. When people cannot escape the banality of your conversation, such as on the bus, in a cab, on a grounded airplane, or at the dinner table, you should spare them. People around you should have the option of not listening. If they don't, you shouldn't be babbling.

2. Thou shalt not set thy ringer to play La Cucaracha every time thy phone rings. Or Beethoven's Fifth, or the Bee Gees, or any other annoying melody. Is it not enough that phones go off every other second? Now we have to listen to synthesized nonsense?

3. Thou shalt turn thy cell phone off during public performances. I'm not even sure this one needs to be said, but given the repeated violations of this heretofore unwritten law, I felt compelled to include it.

4. Thou shalt not wear more than two wireless devices on thy belt. This hasn't become a big problem yet. But with plenty of techno-jockeys sporting pagers and phones, Batman-esque utility belts are sure to follow. Let's nip this one in the bud.

5. Thou shalt not dial while driving. In all seriousness, this madness has to stop. There are enough people in the world who have problems mastering vehicles and phones individually. Put them together and we have a serious health hazard on our hands.

6. Thou shalt not wear thy earpiece when thou art not on thy phone. This is not unlike being on the phone and carrying on another conversation with someone who is physically in your presence. No one knows if you are here or there. Very disturbing.

7. Thou shalt not speak louder on thy cell phone than thou would on any other phone. These things have incredibly sensitive microphones, and it's gotten to the point where I can tell if someone is calling me from a cell because of the way they are talking, not how it sounds. If your signal cuts out, speaking louder won't help, unless the person is actually within earshot.

8. Thou shalt not grow too attached to thy cell phone. For obvious reasons, a dependency on constant communication is not healthy. At work, go nuts. At home, give it a rest.

9. Thou shalt not attempt to impress with thy cell phone. Not only is using a cell phone no longer impressive in any way (unless it's one of those really cool new phones with the space age design), when it is used for that reason, said user can be immediately identified as a neophyte and a poseur.

10. Thou shalt not slam thy cell phone down on a restaurant table just in case it rings. This is not the Old West, and you are not a gunslinger sitting down to a game of poker in the saloon. Could you please be a little less conspicuous? If it rings, you'll hear it just as well if it's in your coat pocket or clipped on your belt.

Well, I'm all thou-ed and thy-ed out, so there you have it: the first 10 rules of using your cell phone. Most of these seem like common sense to me, but they all get broken every day.
