Many young people spend countless number of hours, money and energy on social media to the detriment of their dreams and career. If you keep an account of the amount of time and money you spend daily on social media in the past one year- it will be enough to change your circumstances and life for the better. Social media just like every other tool can either advance your course in life or mar your potentials of being great or achieving your life desires. While you spend your fortune and life away on social media, some people are making money out of you on the same platform. Recently i learnt that Linda Ikeji is worth 4 Billion Naira (over 20 million USD) for the time she spends on her blog. Ask yourself, how much are you worth for all the time and money you spend on social media? Are you being smart or dumb?
Oh! I guess you don't know that every minute you spend using the internet is money. Well, you can ask MTN and Glo how much an MB (MegaByte) is worth, that's N10 per MB and that could take you only a page or two for say, a minute or less. Now calculate how much time you spend online and multiply it by N10. Voila! That's how much you waste (well, depending) on social media.
You could turn your passion and love for the social media into an entrepreneurial activity- something that could fetch you money and fame like Linda Ikeji. Find a way of impacting on people's life just as am doing by posting this article here for you to read. Whatever you do, whatever time you spend on social media or else where, ask yourself, what am I getting in return for the time am using now? That way you could be on your way to having and living a fulfilled life.
You can be better!
