Don't believe everything
Websites can be faked; reviews can be faked; identities can be faked; news can be faked; photos can be faked; videos can be faked.
Sometimes it is faked for fun, and other times people have really bad motives. Don't believe everything on the Internet. Verify it.

Be Interested
Being excited, enthusiastic and interested in what you have to say rubs off on others. Even if your core topic is dull, you can connect it with something interesting.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
