Whatspp Tricks and Abuses to Avoid

(21 Ways to Add Value at here)
They say either you fire them up or you'll have to fire them (article at here).  Even though Whatsapp is so common today, few people know how to use Whatsapp correctly.  In fact, the following are the 7 most common mistakes people make in Whatsapp.  Know them, avoid them, and you'll be seen as different from the rest:
  1. Abuse chatroom.  Some people use the chatroom for very trivial personal things, like their new nail painting.  The point is if less than half of the 30 people in the chatroom is interested in you, you will be seen as egoistic
  2. Never identify themselves.  Some people assume that people will key in their phone number inside their address book, so they often did not state their name at the end of the message. The result: people just ignore your message for they don't know you. 
  3. Use too many short forms.  Like 'WTF', some may see you as vulgar, when what you meant is simply a congratulatory 'Wow, That's Fantastic'
  4. Send to Chatroom instead to the person directly.  Like you want to wish your friend happy birthday, you can just message him directly.  If you wish him in the chatroom, soon your other 29 friends in the chatroom will also wish him.  Imagine your birthday friend thank everyone's wishes, your chatroom will have 60 messages for just one message!   The amount of distraction and noise this has created will make some people leave the chatroom fast. 
  5. Long videos, especially those videos that have poor sound quality.  This really jam up the network and make people feel irritated
  6. Newsfeed.  Some people treat the chatroom like a newsfeed, they just re-post whatever news or traffic news they saw on their mobile devise.  The point is that if you do this, you're not adding value because people do read news on their mobile phones.  If you want to re-post news, make sure you add value, like being the first or put in things that people may not know
  7. Long messages that just copied from e-mail or their computer.  This must be the most frustrating, for it just choke up the internet and make people burst their data plan.  Be considerate, and use other ways like e-mails, and not abuse Whatsapp
Remember, the chatroom in Whatsapp is created for us to have better communication, not have more irritating communication.  By Andy Ng, Chief Trainer of Asia Trainers, listing of courses at here.  Related articles:

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
