We all have some real and not-so-real social network friends. And the ones that dont make it to your top 20 list in reality tend to stay in your virtual life only but,over a period of time,become so scarily familiar that you can predict their posts. Theres the troller,who posts and comments on every picture and update in seconds. Theres someone obsessed with achievement,hollering out every promotion and every small victory in their lives,right down to a childs medal on sports day. The most preposterous of all are the ones who announce their political opinions loudly in their Statuses,ready to fly into a comment war with their entire friends list. And,of course,there are the eternal philosophisers or optimists,determined to tell you how to embrace the day with a positive attitude and a million watt smile.
Its not like I dont like reading tips on how to succeed and be happy,lose weight or become a yogi. Nothing bad can come out of some age-old,if random,advice that takes precisely three seconds to read and,of course,immediately dismiss. I plead guilty to sharing some of that advice with my friends as well Holding a grudge is like letting someone live rent-free in your head is a recent example. Judging from the inexhaustible number of motivational quotes,updates and pictures flooding Twitter and Facebook,it seems all of us need a little nudge in the right direction to stay on the wagon. I recently subscribed to a page called Health is Wealth in the vague hope that itll keep up my enthusiasm for the gym. Now Im inundated with pictures of women lifting 10 kilo weights,cabbages and chicken recipes but,so far,it hasnt changed much in my life,except superficially.
