HOW TO CHEAT YOUR SMARTPHONE AND ACHIEVE TIME : using Advanced Message Send (AMS)


HOW TO CHEAT YOUR SMARTPHONE AND ACHIEVE TIME : using Advanced Message Send (AMS)
By
Obasanmi Omokafe Vincent

Unarguably, our mobile phones have become part of our enabling support that we require to achieve our daily communication in society. Its relevance stretches from interacting with friends and family, business partners and customers, and also the broad sending and receiving information inform of text from around the world. However, the mobile phone can be well utilized to achieve satisfaction with time spent chatting, through creative and well articulated composition of messages sent per post over instant Chat Online. 
The way we compose “Text” through our hand held electronic gadgets (Smartphone’s) can be a factor that leads to satisfaction or dissatisfaction from both side of (Sender and Receiver) interaction. Dissatisfaction may arise when the sender feels the receiver has not fully understood his/her intended message or intentions within the period of interacting, while satisfaction is felt as the sender realizes that all messages passed across are well understood and responses received. In other words, we develop a sense of joy when we realize that our time have been saved, as we can be understood by the short text we put together to express our ideas, feelings, experiences, thoughts and also, our concern about the wellbeing of the other person (the receiver). This brings to mind the main reason I am writing this article to expose to you a smarter way of economizing your time when using your Smartphone phone chatting.
I introduce to you Advanced Message Send (A M S). This is not the exact opposite of Short Massage Sent (S M S) but, can be likened to a more appropriate style of articulating meaningful text message for the purpose of saving time, achieving clarity, be understood and brief as possible.
This is not a rocket science of something to consider difficult to practice, as it is the application of our old simple conventions or what we are all familiar with to solve the challenges of time wasting over the phone in excuse of chatting and interacting.
Many of us have used the post office before when it was still actively used, the act of posting a letter to friends and await responses or feedback has been a culture to us. Although, this is fast becoming a thing of the past However, falling back to this practice can be frowned upon be many people, but it seems to be a solution to achieving satisfaction in our text messaging style.

Example 1.

Ii. Greeting
How are you doing today? I guess the weather now at your area is comfortable with you.
Iii. Fresh subject
I have just finished my final year exams, and I am hoping results will be out soonest next month, and Anita is back from school too for the holiday. Aunty!, living in the house is not my pleasure.
Iiii. Action
I will like to come and work with you in Owarri, and I intend to come along with Anita, as she really misses you much.
Iiv. Object
Time spent with family is never waited and new environment will take out the boredom duo.
V. Close
I await your response soon.

Together
How are you doing today? I guess the weather now at your area is comfortable with you. I have just finished my final year exams, and I am hoping results will be out soonest next month, and Anita is back from school too for the holiday. Aunty!, living in the house is not my plasure. I will like to come and work with you in Owarri, and I intend to come along with Anita as she misses you much. Time spent with family is never wasted and new environment will take out the boredom duo. I await your response soon. AMS. By Bro Vincee

This is a simple style I can use to express my intentions and ideas or whatever, I have to send through to my chatter. If he or she is not familiar with direct message of such, the receiver can just put together the third level which is Action and send his or her responses. By so doing, I will know the next subject at hand and these could lead to new action to new object and the circle continues. But, in a situation whereby the receiver is familiar with AMS, the chatting will go excellently as both parties know what is expected from a post. It is so overwhelming what manner of interactions that can take place within a short time and the sense that come from each individual. Not mentioning the clarity and able avoid unnecessary shorting of words that may conflict with understanding and eventually hinder comprehension.
AMS Style, is will be a medium that will suit a convenient, respectful, well thought out, interactions over the internet online chat. Individuals should learn to use the style as an advantage to achieving their goals and save much time for importance activities to better themselves.

Enjoy!!!.

Child and Human Development through Information Literacy


The circle of development always starts at the cradle of the young. As in a saying that “educate the child, educate a society’ hence, the child as a human being need directions  as well as nurturing of available cultures of which every human being should know, for the purpose of  pursuing and achieving goals in life.
However, the potential of every human achieving goal is linked to the quality of information in their domain. This can be available when they have adequate knowledge of information literacy. The child today in our society faces many challenges that cripple that ability to think critically on their way towards life due to deficient literacy skills.  We can ascribe information literacy skills to what every practices we can find in our society, for instance a Southern Nigerian Ejio fisher man is responsible to expose the child to the act of making a living from scanning river banks for catfishes and knowing how to differentiate toads from targeted catfishes and catching the fish of value for sales In the market, and also know the cost to each size of the catches. literacy  means  the  ability  to  read  and  write, however, it goes beyond the single meaning as it applies to how  we communicate  in  society  and  the  social  practices  and  relationship,  about  knowledge,  language  and  culture. A child reading skill is important to their success in school and work. Research has identified five early reading skills that are all essential. They are:
Phonemic awareness – being able to hear, identify, and play with individual sound (phonemes) in spoken words.
Phonics – being able to connect the letters of written language with the sounds of spoken language.
Vocabulary –the words kids need to know to communicate effectively.
Reading comprehension – being able to understand and get meaning from what has been read.
Fluency (oral reading) – being able to read text accurately and quickly.
How can we make reading part of our family’s lifestyle?
Boyse (2010) point out that parent’s play a critical role in helping their children develop not only the ability to read, but also an enjoyment of reading.  He highlighted four strategies to help children develop in the area of reading which are as follows:
Turn off the tube. Start by limiting your family’s television viewing time.
Teach by example. If you have books, newspapers and magazines around your house, and your child sees you reading, then your child will learn that you value reading. You can’t over-estimate the value of modeling.
Read together. Reading with your child is a great activity. It not only teaches your child that reading is important to you, but it also offers a chance to talk about the book, and often other issues will come up. Books can really open the lines of communication between parent and child.
Hit the library. Try finding library books about current issues or interests in your family’s or child’s life, and then reading them with the child. For instance, read a book about going to the dentist prior to your child’s next dental exam, or get some books about seashore life after a trip to the coast. If your child is obsessed with dragons, ask your librarian to recommend a good dragon novel for your child.
There are many ways to include reading in your child’s life, starting in babyhood, and continuing through the teen years. Focus on literacy activities that your child enjoys, so that reading is a trait, not a chore.

How do you read to a baby?
Use small, chunky board books that your baby can easily hold onto.
Talk about the pictures with your little one.
Sing the text to keep baby’s attention
Play peek-a-boo with lift-the-flap books
Help your baby touch and feel in texture books.

One thing of note is that pediatrics experts have recommends daily reading to children beginning by six months of age. It is also worthy of note that some savvy school library develop programs which is titled “catch ‘Em in the Cradle” a popular program that originated in Florida USA, is a good effort libraries in developing countries should copy. Another development is that new parents receive library information kits through hospitals, adoption centre’s, and even prenatal classes. These kits generally contain information on how to stimulate a baby’s language development through games, songs and other activities. They also include lists of books for babies, books on parenting and so on. It is advised that if no such programs are available in your local public library, ask the librarian to put one together.

However, literacy being the key to reading and writing is not complete without information. Hence information literacy is a board term that comprises four basics for knowledge. The ability to understand a gap in knowledge,  seeking where to satisfy these gaps , identifying needed solutions and critical use of these solutions to satisfy the need or gap in knowledge. Hence in affirmation to child and human development, information literacy is center to what will be the ability to achieving goals and objective in their lives. 
Another exposition to what information literacy means in a similar view is the understanding of needs, how to seek, where to find, how to select and ways to interpret and use information on the courses of needs. Simple as it is, this is the same situation to what is attainable in modern society where schools are stationed for providing essential knowledge and grooming the child into a special member of the society.
An English philosopher Francis Bacon once said that "knowledge is power". However, one  cannot be knowledgeable and powerful, if one does  not  have  relevant  information  to  empower  his/her  thinking  and  enhance  his/her  understanding .  Ajibero (2012) stated that  Information has been universally viewed as a basic resource which all people including special children use to improve their condition of  living and  is  essential to  developmental process. In the same vain other scholars like  Uhegbu (2007) opined that information is a common term, something that changes a person’s state of knowledge in a subject that affect or influences  individuals  in  the  conduct  of  their  business. For this reason, at every stage of human development, information is required. Conjecturally, the CNN, Christiana Amanpour notes, information is life, information is power, information is security, information is money, and information is business. Hence it is necessary to inculcate information literacy in the child to grow as well as develop valuable achievement in their lives and being a good citizen.
Information Literacy Skills needed to Survive in 21th Century for the Child are as follows:

Computer operating skill

Identifying controlled content to avoid

Approaching librarians with questions relating to their needs

Developing clear and direct questions to get answers

Humor and respect for elders

Learn how to use vocabularies

Security consciousness and care

Proper health care awareness

How to plan studying time/ leisure time

Respect for individual privacy and confidentiality

Documenting each day or think through paper

Keeping a dairy and words register.

A Million Dollar Lesson by : Petey Parker


A cab driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to impart his kind of training to corporate executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride.

I had flown into Dallas for the sole purpose of calling on a client. Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport. A spotless cab pulled up.

The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver's seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy.

Well! I looked around for a "Candid Camera!" Wouldn't you? I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, "Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell."

"You bet," he replied, "I used to be in Corporate America. But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my niche in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be.

 

I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day's work and done it well. I evaluate my personal assets and... wham! I became a cab driver.

One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply just meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to EXCEED the customer's expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being 'great' better than just getting by on 'average'"

Did I tip him big time? You bet! Corporate America's loss is the traveling folk's friend!

Lessons:

  • Go an Extra Mile when providing any Service to others.
     
  • The is no good or bad job. You can make any job good.
     
  • Good service always brings good return.

"The Gift" By John Claypool

This is a story about an old Bendix washing machine that helped one man get through the valley of loss. * 

 
Story begins:
His parents acquired the washer when John Claypool was a small boy. It happened during World War II.

His family owned no washing machine and, since gasoline was rationed, they could ill afford trips to the laundry several miles away. Keeping clothes clean became a problem for young John's household. 

A family friend was drafted into the service, and his wife prepared to go with him. John's family offered to store their furniture while they were away. To the family's surprise, the friends suggested they use their Bendix while they were gone. "It would be better for it to be running, " they said, "than sitting up rusting." So this is how they acquired the washer.
Young John helped with the washing, and across the years he developed an affection for the old, green Bendix. But eventually the war ended. Their friends returned. In the meantime he had forgotten how the machine came to be in their basement in the first place. When the friends came to take it away, John grew terribly upset -- and said so!
His mother, wise as she was, sat him down and said, "Wait a minute, Son. You must remember, that machine never belonged to us in the first place. That we ever got to use it at all was a gift. So, instead of being mad at it being taken away, let's use this occasion to be grateful that we had it at all."  

The lesson proved invaluable. Years later, John watched his eight-year-old daughter die a slow and painful death of leukemia. Though he struggled for months with her death, John could  not begin healing from the loss until he remembered the old Bendix.  

"I am here to testify," he said, "that this is the only way down the mountain of loss...when I remember that  Laura Lou was a gift, pure and simple, something I neither earned nor deserved nor had a right to. And when I remember that the appropriate response to a gift, even when it is taken away, is gratitude, then I am better able to try and thank God that I was ever given her in the first place."  

His daughter was a gift. When he realized that simple fact, everything changed. He could now begin healing from the tragedy of her loss by focusing instead on the wonder of her life. He  started to see Laura Lou as a marvelous gift that he was fortunate enough to share for a  time. He felt grateful. He found strength and healing. He knew he could get through the valley of loss.
We all experience loss -- loss of people, loss of jobs, loss of relationships, loss of  independence, loss of esteem, loss of things. When what you held dear can be viewed as a gift, a wonder that you had it at all, the memory can eventually become one more of gratitude than tragedy. And you will find the healing you need.

A Motivational story about Positive Thinking



Read this, and let it really sink in... Then, choose how you start your day tomorrow...

Jerry is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.
The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.


Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.
I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.


"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes, it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life."
I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.


Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.


“The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live.""Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Jerry continued, "...the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man.'

I knew I needed to take action." " What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'"

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

Positive thinking the the first step towards a happy life.
Attitude is everything


If everyone applies just these, the whole world will live in happiness.

Pickup in the Rain(Inspirational Motivational Stories)


One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her - generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxi cab. She seemed to be in a big hurry! She wrote down his address, thanked him and drove away.
Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes but my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."
Lessons:

Offer help to anyone who needs it
Thank others for helping you.
If you help someone. Someone will help you.
If everyone does just these, the whole world will live in happiness.

A MOTHERS LOVE (Inspirational Motivational Stories)


A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on.

After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:


For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00 For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00 Total owed: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind.


She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote: For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me: No Charge For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: No Charge For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years: No Charge For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead: No Charge For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose: No Charge Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is: No Charge.


When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".


Lessons:


You will never how much your parents worth till you become a parent
Be a giver not an asker, especially with your parents. there is a lot to give, besides money.
Advice: IF your mom is alive and close to you, give her a big kiss and ask her for forgiveness. If she is far away, call her. if she passed away, pray for her.

Rescue at Sea (Inspirational Motivational Stories)

Years ago, in a small fishing village in Holland, a young boy taught the world about the rewards of unselfish service. Because the entire village revolved around the fishing industry, a volunteer rescue team was needed in cases of emergency. One night the winds raged, the clouds burst and a gale force storm capsized a fishing boat at sea. Stranded and in trouble, the crew sent out the S.O.S. The captain of the rescue rowboat team sounded the alarm and the villagers assembled in the town square overlooking the bay. While the team launched their rowboat and fought their way through the wild waves, the villagers waited restlessly on the beach, holding lanterns to light the way back.
An hour later, the rescue boat reappeared through the fog and the cheering villagers ran to greet them. Falling exhausted on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more passengers and they had to leave one man behind. Even one more passenger would have surely capsized the rescue boat and all would have been lost.
Frantically, the captain called for another volunteer team to go after the lone survivor. Sixteen-year-old Hans stepped forward. His mother grabbed his arm, pleading, "Please don’t go. Your father died in a shipwreck 10 years ago and your older brother, Paul, has been lost at sea for three weeks. Hans, you are all I have left."
Hans replied, "Mother, I have to go. What if everyone said, ‘I can’t go, let someone else do it?’ Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service comes, we all need to take our turn and do our part." Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and disappeared into the night.
