Almost every app uses this, yet you have no idea of it!

 Instagram, dark truth!

Everyone ticks --> I have read and I accept the terms and conditions, without reading any of those.
Since app builders are very well aware of that fact! They have planned a great strategy and are using it.
In this blog, I will explain you, how they make money using you, without even your realization!

Do you like to be tension free? Problem-free? 
Yes, everyone would love that! 
Suppose that, you get solutions to all your problems while surfing the web! Wouldnt that be amazing?
The person selling you a solution through an ad, gets its customer, while on the other hand, your problems get solved more quickly!
Then what's wrong in it? Both are getting benefited.
This is totally benefiting but this has a negative dark side too.

See, whenever you enter a website, you might've seen something called cookies.
Cookies are used to track your website surfing, and literally, all that you click on, and each and everything.
By using this info, they get an idea about your interests. They sell this info about you to other people.
And this is how you get to see more of what you like, in ads.
Every website/app does this and most of the people are unaware of it. 

The negative side comes here,
Social media owners, are earning money because of you and me. They want to keep earning, and for doing that, they need to make us use their app for longer time and never stop it.
A great technique they have used is by using the information about your interests.
They use the information about your interests and show you the content of your interest.
By doing this, they make you stick to their app and they even show relevant ads to make money.

This seems an infinite loop you and I are stuck in. There is no break; statement!

A spark of light is enough for a dark room

Spark A spark is enough to light up a dark room. Have you ever felt to give up while doing something? We tend to give up sometimes. We even tend to give up before starting too, and most importantly, we sometimes give up right before we make a record .  But we should realize that often our hardest tasks get completed if we are consistent . 'Keep going' should be a constant in our life. Tough situations come in everyone's life . And staying consistent in the tough times  makes you stronger . Next time when you face it, it will be easier ! We have a great misconception regarding things. We judge the hardness of anything, by looking at it for the first time and without even trying to do it once. No one likes their energy and time to be wasted, so we don't try new things since we are not sure if it will pay us back. This fear of not trying is more loss for you than actually failing  after trying. Have you become old ? Have you become weak ? No, right. Then why...

Reduce things, Increase focus

Quality Many people tend to master everything they can, and they end up mastering none . World values people who are multi-expert. Ever felt like you are able to get most of your work done by yourself, but never truly mastered any? Quality is something that amazes people. You see, all the costly things and accessories are costly because of quality . Developing quality takes time. I was in 9th standard and i was an average student. I had a friend who was very hardworking. He used to read a lot . Back then, i was not able to develop interest in reading, I wanted to read books as fast as he could, but I did not understand many words meaning, and felt lazy to look for its meaning. One day our English teacher told us to write a story and present in front of class. I became a bit nervous since i had never written any story before . I managed to write a normal story but I tried to fill the page as much as possible. You know what I observed was, My story was very big and it had a lot of ...

World doesnt need it

 World doesnt need it beyond this point You just took a selfie from the top of mountain, the view of land is very amazing, the mountain top is a very rare spot. Now its time to upload it on instagram. But...wait! Many of us go to various places, spend amazing moments, take pictures. You enjoyed that moment because you lived at the moment , not thinking about past nor future.  According to me, the most memorable memories are that, which you had lived at the moment, lived in present. So coming back to selfie, when we are just gonna click upload, a voice inside us shouts, maybe you need to use that filter, this isn't matching with the pic. It happens with all of us. We are stuck in the spotlight syndrome. Spotlight syndrome is nothing but a strong belief that "I am noticed by everyone" more than how much they actually are noticed. Due to that, instead of just uploading, we waste a lot of time editing pics beyond the need to. To be honest , if the amount focus you put in l...
