1. After you will read this post:  Unfriending: One key to a minimalist social experience , you will think twice before following too many people on Twitter/ Facebook.

The trend of following lots of people has its pros and cons — one of the pros is that you get to know more people than you normally would have. You also spread your influence and have your content spread more widely, if that’s something you care about.

But the con is that it’s hard to keep up with so much social information. Another con is that the relationships you do form become necessarily thin and superficial, because you can’t form deep bonds with thousands and thousands of people.

2. Some of us, don’t have a clear idea of what money represents. For clear idea i recommend  you :  The Bruce Lee Approach to Valuing of Money .

“A Child must be taught early that money is only a means, a type of usefulness, an implement. Like all instruments, it has certain purposes, but it will not do everything. One must learn how to use it, what it will do, but above all what it will not do.”

3. How can information be considered Pollution? Very simple. We do not realize it, but we are Living with Data Smog.

We are a nation awash in data smog. This is more than just information overload — it’s not just that there’s too much information out there for one person to adequately encompass, it’s that there’s too much data out there to even make out the information clearly, let alone to evaluate and act on that information.
