Causes of Depression and How to Cure or Avoid Them

Depression is a state of the mind that drains a lot of energy from the brain cells and often results in physical weakness and inability of the affected person to organize his / her thoughts towards accomplishing or managing a particular objective.

Depression is very bad to the human person because if not properly managed and as early as possible, it will go beyond what the average thinking being believes to be. More often than we know, depression has led to people taking undesired actions that they never might have thought of if they are in absolute control of their conscious brain system. Some of the offspring of depression are Suicide, anger, hatred, drinking and / or smoking, assault, raping, ill health (heart attack, HBP, etc.), weakness of the body and inability to produce healthy thoughts, etc.

MAJOR CAUSES OF DEPRESSION

1.       Helplessness: People who have been in a stage in life that they needed help and nothing as coming up will understand what I am talking about. At this stage, their family couldn’t offer a bit of it let alone friends not even to talk of others from the outside arena. At this stage all hope of escaping the need for the help proved abortive, thereby resulting to helplessness. You will find out that the person who is going through this state of helplessness will eventually be depressed.

What to Do: Don’t allow the situation to weigh you down, not even when it is something that might claim life. Just believe in yourself and the ability of impossibility turning to possible. Stick to information that will boost your self-esteem. Do some research about the cause of that issue and try finding solutions. Remember the words of Napoleon Hills that says, “What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.”

2.       Abuse (Physical/Sexual): Any form of abuse will at a stage depressed the victim. That is certainly you should be at alert to avoid their occurrence anytime in the future. If you are a house-help, you will often experience this form of abuse. It could manifest in the form of physical (hard) labor, molestation and the like or it could come in the form of sexual harassment. In whichever case, you don’t have to allow it result to depression.

What to Do: If you are under labor imposed on you by someone / something, all you have to do is to develop the right mindset that will enable you go through the hardship with minimal negative effect on your mental faculty. Don’t consider it to be the end for you. Believe that one day you will call it history. And if you are sexually molested, you have to find a way out of it. It is fatal to be used as sex beast especially in a forceful means. If you have another location where you can relocate to then do just that but if you don’t, consider seeking help from human right organization, NGOs and Churches / religious leaders. If nothing is working, don’t give up continue trying. Above all, avoid negative singing (thoughts) and embrace the opposite.

3.       Life Frustration: Many individuals dance according to life’s tune instead of living their own life the way they want to. This often lead to depression and you have to fight it with full force. Do not allow life circumstances to make you an object of mockery because you will not be happy with the result you will get.

What to Do: Try by all means legal to find something doing. You know that an idol mind is the devil’s workshop. You can always beat this stress by keeping yourself busy with anything legal that can put food on your table. Avoid total dependency. If you seat at home and expect monthly salary, things might not move smoothly as you desire. Therefore, you can choose o be independent by investing the little have (get) into what will generate something better. If you don’t have any source of income currently, offer to do (if possible) the least job around your hood. It is better living for something than nothing is.

4.       Parental Factor: Some parents who don’t have enough to care for their family, will likely distribute their income in favor of a particular child who to them will do better that others in life. When situations like this exists, those around don’t seem to know the problems hidden around it until later in future when almost everyone must have grown adult. It is therefore important that you consider as a parent the level of favoritism you implement in taking care of your children’s needs. Children are characterized by straightforward thought pattern and consider what they are thought the final and the only accurate. But we seem not to know much about the fact that children also learns from nature and that they have the potential of perceiving ill treatment directed to their well being. Those who are not favored in the distribution of family possessions will like get depressed because they think they not born equal with the favored or that they are just been deprived of their right. Since they don’t have control over how family possessions are managed, they continue to think and ponder on how it has been affecting them individually and the best it can result to is depression. Parents should take caution.

What to Do: Take things of the world for granted. Do not consider the situation to be the worst that could ever happen to you instead allow yourself to be as an example to others by working smarter to make the best for yourself in spite the fact that you were not giving much attention from your parents. And for parents, if you must favor a particular child, learn to convince the others to understand that yes you have to do it that way. If they fail to understand, you can go ahead with what you believe to be the best for them but ensure “it the best and nothing but the best”.

Ways of Making Money on Facebook

There are different ways of making real and huge money from Facebook and that is what we will be covering today. Most of the people who I know that often visit Facebook are only there to chat with friends and also to find, associate with new friends. Only few of Facebook users know that real money can be made from Facebook. Recent research proved it that only about 30,000 Facebook users make money on Facebook. Hope you know that over 30 million users sign into Facebook everyday yet only about 30,000 users use Facebook to make money. At first, I doubted it but now I believe it because I have found the answer myself. More surprising is the fact that all the known methods of making money on Facebook are easy and can be implemented by almost anybody who can use Facebook. The hardest thing required of you is to decide that yes you want to make money on Facebook.

A

re you among those that consider Facebook only as a place to chat and meet with hot babes and dudes? Or connect with old friends, classmates, family members (both near and far), family-friends, or a place to meet with new friends. The fact is that Facebook serve those purposes and even more. But, do you know that Facebook has nursed millionaires from different parts of the world? An in-depth analysis shows that Facebook is the second most visited website in the whole world after google.com. Are you just helping Facebook make money or are you making yours while they make theirs.

H

ow you can profit from Facebook: it will not be of much good to you if I should stop at telling you these much about Facebook without teaching you how to join the estimated 30,000 Facebook users who have explored the potentials hidden in Facebook. Hence, I will like to introduce you to three major methods you as an individual, organization representative, etc can make millions or possibly billion from Facebook. Hey, thousands are not left out (lol). All below listed methods are very effective and you can choose to utilize one, two or three of them including others not mentioned here.

1. Advertising on Facebook: Facebook offers two ads campaign; PPC (pay-per-click) and monthly / weekly ads budget. You can choose your preferred ads method. However, I recommend PPC for newbie. Learn also to target the right class of the larger community. To place your ads on Facebook, login with your desktop browser (some smart-phones are supported), click on place ads on the bottom of the page and follow the instructions. How this can help your business. If you have a website for instance, you can direct those who click on your ads to your website (Landing Page if any). This directly exposes your product to the right people at the right time and that automatically generates sells for you.
2. Direct ads using Fan Pages / Groups: Sign up with Amazon Affiliate programme or Clickbank Affiliate and choose products to promote. If you have a Fan page/Group that already receive unique traffic from Facebook users (you can create one free and invite people to like your page), Post updates that relates to the products you choose to promote on Amazon or Clickbank, Place your affiliate link on the post. When your Fans clicks on any of your affiliate links you stand a chance of making a sell and when that happens, you get paid for the sell by the site you signed up with.
3. Indirect ads using Fan Page / Group: Let us say you have a blog or website where you share information with the world. Post updates on your Fan Page / group and include a link to your website or blog. Remember that you don’t necessarily must have a product you sell on you blog or website, all you need is at least Google Adsense code placed on the appropriate place on your blog/website. When your fans on Facebook click a link on your post and they are taking to your site/blog, they might click on ads placed on your site by Google through their Adsense program. If that happens, Google pays you for the ads clicked on.

Additional Method of making money from Facebook;

4. Advertising people on your Fan Pages / Group: If your fans are numerous, you can charge individuals or small businesses (entrepreneur) to write a post about them on your Fan/Group pages. Many people are looking for this kind of opportunity since they don’t have huge capital budget to patronize the giants (Google, Facebook, etc.). Therefore, if they find that you provide an opportunity for them, they will fight for opportunity to embrace the one you have provided.

Three Steps to Success in Internet Business

Internet business today is fast gaining popularity throughout the internet and even in the offline world. It will be a nice decision if you chose to join few internet users who are making huge profits from different internet businesses all over the world. In this report are contained three basic steps you need to take to make the most from the internet.

Step 1

Acquire basic knowledge of the internet: Going to fly an airplane without formal training is one of the most stupid decisions one could ever think of, no matter how smart that person may consider himself to be. Therefore, to succeed or maybe to make money online, you must equip yourself well by acquiring basic knowledge on the field you desire to embrace. This however, does not mean you must pay to have the basic knowledge required to be successful. However, it does mean you must have basic understanding of how the internet works. You can acquire some helpful thought by following educative and informative blogs (subscribing to rss feeds), joining important forum threads and/or chat rooms, hooking up with trending social media platforms and also signing up / subscribing to newsletters. You can as well search for and download some tutorials like; e-books, sound clips, video clips or by listening to podcasts. While it is recommended to go for paid products, free stuffs are also an alternative. If you think you have enough to spend, then you have the decision to make but if you do not, free products goes a long way in helping a newbie.

Step 2

Execute what you have learnt: I am supposed to make much emphasis here for you to understand that knowledge is not power as many people believe. Rather knowledge only becomes power when applied in the right place, in the right time and for the right reason. Let me remind you as I hope you already know that acquiring knowledge is a difficult task but it is even more difficult to apply the knowledge you have acquired than it is acquiring the knowledge, it is most difficult applying knowledge especially when you got it free. When I was first starting up some years back I attended a seminar that was held close to my hood, I attended the seminar thinking that once I step out of the hall I will be bathed with money by those who I have helped with what I learnt. Fortunately, I came out of the hall filled with knowledge of different online moneymaking methods / secrets that I never knew existed. Nevertheless, it was quite unfortunate that one week went by without change, two weeks, even months passed by but I was still broke. It got to a point that I began to ask if it is possible to make money online. To make matters worse, the person I attended the seminar with kept telling me that those people were fraudsters. It made me lose hope that I almost made decision never to listen to any online money making scheme but I could remember that I asked myself if I have ever taking a moment to try out  what I was thought in the seminar hall. The answer was no. So I decided to execute what I learnt when it was almost six months that I attended the seminar. By the 7^th month, I started seeing improvement in financial part of my life and that proved to me that yes there is money on the web.

In essence, this whole story is just to prove that carrying a gun without pulling the trigger will not give a bang. In other words, having ocean knowledge without applying it will certainly not yield any result. That been said, you are advised to put what you learnt from step 1 above to work in other to achieve result.

Step 3

This is not part of the game. However, we will appreciate if you

How to Respond to Criticism

Criticism is ^1.The expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes. ^2. The critical assessment of a literary or artistic work.

Often when I search the internet for information, I see dozens of embarrassing critiques on a single page directed to the owner of the site or active representative. At first, I was wondering how the person in question would be able to survive the furious fans. I meditated on this issue of criticism for long that it almost wore me off. These criticisms of a thing made me do some research for nothing less than two days trying to find a solution on how to handle criticism when it comes my way. I focused my attention on some of these points:

·         Why the critiques: Here, I noticed not the critiques at most cases arise from argumentative or logical topics introduced by the person targeted.

·         What served as catalyst: I found out that the person targeted was in one way or the other trying to prove to the critics that he/she is right from whatever angle. On trying to prove this, the critique brings up more annoying statements to the fore. At this point, the targeted normally perceive the fact that it is getting back to him/her harder and more personal, thereby attempting to respond in a personal manner to prove that he/she is human with normal sense of reasoning, in most cases using some abusing words directly directed to the critic. When the critic sees the angle it is elevating, he will like a soldier does, retrieve and reform then comes back with more and more sophisticated weapons of the mind coming in the form of words, writing or presentation. Definitely, it gets to a point where others from nowhere join the battle thereby making it worse than before. It keeps circling in a round form maintaining the laws of the universe and will never stop until they embrace the third point where I focused my attention.

·         How to respond to respond to criticism: The next few paragraphs are important please read it understandable for you to know exactly what you should do when your fans or clients disagree with the content you presented.

Why the Critics; try to by all possible means understand why you were criticized. If you are able to get an idea of why the criticism came about, you will stand a better chance knowing what and where to start.

Respond Responsively; when you receive critiques, do not just type or say anything that pleases you. Rather think about what you want to say and make changes if necessary.

Learn from It; after analyzing the critiques, Endeavour to make a change and learn from your mistakes. Remember that you are not perfect and what the critic does is to bring to the fore the weak or bad part of you. Therefore, you have to follow it up with maximum understand as you it is not in every point that the critic gets it right.

Reorganize the Content “if” Necessary; if you were able to notice the critic area of centralization, then determine either to make changes or to ignore the critic.

Look for Better Idea; If you cannot make necessary changes where you should either because you do not know how to come up with a better idea, then it could be best to do the following:

ü  Ask the critic the possible ways to make it better but if you are not comfortable with this option, maybe because your ego couldn’t allow you the try

ü  Meeting a friend you trust and who knows better than you in the field and learn from him. You can also learn from a colleague or group of experts in the subject matter.

ü  Search for articles or forum post, blogs and all that addresses issues relating to your need.

Thank the Critic; never fail to appreciate the role and or importance of the critic in improving your business and knowledge base. Few lines of words or a paragraph can do. Therefore, you do not necessarily need a page or new post to say thank you very much for helping me realize my mistakes I really do appreciate.

It is to my notice that some people have developed thick skin as a means of handling this important tool for business improvement. However, I will advice that you change that attitude because it is not the better option and never will it be. Nevertheless, if you think you don’t concur with me, why not implement your own strategy.

Today’s Match Between Morocco and Nigeria Inspired Me

I have always been inspired by great achievements of people especially if they suddenly get up when everybody has losing hope on them. But I just could believe that what happened today gave me more hope and inspiration or may be it rekindled the existing ones I have. What I am trying to say here is that you will definitely be inspired to believe more in yourself after going through what I have for you in this post (i.e. if you did not follow it live but even then, there are still some other things you will learn from my explanation).

It is all about the match between Morocco and Nigeria that was played in South Africa today. Before the match started everybody was expecting the Nigeria Team to as they have often done come up with outstanding performance against their opponent but the first 45 minutes of the match practically turned that expectation upside down. This is because they are already three undisputed goals away from hoping to go further in the tournament. All the anticipated victory over the Moroccan Team turned against those expected to win within 15 minutes time interval (i.e. between 31^st minute of play and 45^th minute). All hope was lost because even the defeated does not seem organized enough to take the challenges ahead of them.  This is the point of no hope for every average thinking being. However, that is exactly what differentiates the successful from every other individual around.

Second half of the game commenced and the previous hopelessness state was at some extent taking off the picture as the defeated turned out to shine brighter than they are thought to be.  On 49^th minute of the game, the ball was netted from the hopeless side, by 56^th minute another find it’s way through and by 90^th minute was found another netted ball. What a great recovery and hope for the hopeless. What an unexpected turn around for the trashed mince pie. Three minutes later, the whistle went loud. But has it ended there? Of course not.

A winner has to emerge therefore the match must continue. This time is no longer the issue of expecting to be lucky, if you must have one, you must create it by yourself. This is now the battle of the mighty and strong and not for wimps any longer. It’s a time for one of the lions to prove it’s superiority to everything around. Now the 112^th minute of play was counted the best minute of the match because that is just the only minute that clarified all doubt and hopelessness in every individual watching the match. How? The previously hopeless team caused the ball to enter the net of their opponent and that marked the final. Wow what a great experience and inspiring football match. What do you have to learn from this match? Well, find that answer in the next paragraph.

As an individual or organization representative, you have to employ what you have learnt from this match in building / upgrading your dream business or carrier. At the list I now have more authority and reasons to make emphasis as much as I possibly could about the possibility of attaining success even when everything seem to be working against your success. Remember to always be persistent and determined and never give procrastination a second thought or chance in your life even when all hope is lost.

You can find details of the by visiting this link on the match’s live commentary
