Prevent Suicide

 


  Oh God, I don't know what to do. The world is cruel, I can't handle it anymore. I want to commit suicide to get away from this pain. Dear friends, your life is absolutely beautiful but you don't realise it yet. In the major cases, people who are feeling suicidal are dealing with conditions that will pass in time if only they can get the help that they need. According to WHO, more than 700 thousand people die due to suicide every year. 

  Suicide is a desperate attempt to escape suffering that has become unbearable. Blinded by feelings of hopelessness and isolation, most suicidal people are deeply conflicted about ending their own lives. However, it can prevent it if you find somebody wants to try suicide. 

  Knows the signs. Being able to recognise the warning signs of suicide such as, extreme mood swings, feeling of hopelessness, saying goodbye to family and friends, and withdrawing from friends and family. If your friend or family has those signs, it will better find them or call them. They need attention. 

  Don't leave them alone and try to be a good listener. Being a good listener doesn't require any special skills. Be patient and accepting, but avoid getting into an argument. Also, if they seem to be in imminent danger of hurting themselves, do not leave them alone. Take away any potential that can hurt themselves, such as weapons or pills.

  For you who a person wants to try suicide please call somebody that is close to you, could be your family, friends, or psychologist. We know how you feel mates, but suicide is not what you need. You are feeling hopeless among society right now, probably you failing of anything, somebody left you, etc. But we want you to remember what you have done is also an achievement.

  Let's say, you have to be grateful that somebody still wants you. Somebody wants to be your friend, lover, or even family. What you have now is only temporary, the world is massive to explore, and waiting for your arrival to show you how beautiful this life is to live. Always be happy and face the world with your own confidence. Every person has their own unique ability. As always, have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
