News Page Instructions

Dear friends, in our quest to continuously improve Enriching-Life.com we have created a new News page for you. Here are some instructions to help you find your way around:

1. Icons
NEW!

Let's quickly explain what the icons stand for:

All News:
When the "All News" icon is active then the entire news content including videos, photos, quotes etc. is displayed in the content section.

Articles:
If you select the "Articles" icon then only articles are shown in the middle content sections.

Videos:
As the icon's name suggests, only "Videos" are listed if you click this icon.

Photos:
Yes, the "Photos" icon only gives you the photos which have been uploaded to site.

Quotes:
When clicking on the "Quotes" icon all the quotes ever submitted to our site are displayed in the content section.

Downloads:
Here you'll find helpful und interesting eBooks for download.

Submit News:
This icon is a new speedy way to submit catchy articles, photos, videos etc. to our site. Click on the icon and the "submit news" page, just as you know it, will open.

2. The content section:

The content section (left part of the screen) kind of stayed the same. You can still choose if you want to view the "latest", "popular", "random" or your "favourite" articles, videos, quotes, photos etc. by selecting the corresponding tab at the top of the frame. The functionality of the links remained the same too.

3. The sidebar
NEW!

The sidebar has been subject to some nifty improvements, which we hope you like and find helpful. Read on!

The Life Area Box (at top of sidebar) We've given the individual Life Areas new icons to improve their looks

AND

if you click on a Life Area not only the drop down menu with the associated life areas opens, but right below the Life Area box you’ll now find a new feature displaying selected users who are particularly interested in your selected life area! So quickly make friends with them!

AND

we've even pushed it further and added another feature right below to suggest Life Dreams relating to the Life Area you've chosen. We believe this will inspire you to create your own life dreams or to join the life dreams displayed in the box.

And right below you can still find our "Related Books" section.

If you have questions about our new News page or suggestions on how to improve it further, please don't hesitate to get in touch! We look forward to hearing from you! Have fun, improve your life and live your dreams! Your Enriching-Life Team

Have fun, improve your life and live your dreams!

The Modern Decline in Independent Thinking - The Rat Race Trap

The Internet was supposed to expose us to many new viewpoints, broaden our horizons, generate new ideas, and so on. To some degree it has but there is a very serious hidden danger in the fact that we are always connected to others. It’s not just that we are connected to others, it’s who and how we are connecting. We participate in groups through the Internet or other media technologies to a degree unimaginable just a couple of decades ago. So even though the impact of groups on individual thinking has always existed, its impact is much greater today. We are losing our ability and opportunity to think independently and in my view this has serious consequences.- Read more

Since many years ago i have learned an advise from a wise man which have strong impact on my character ,
1-You are a unique in this Universe , you have your own world which is different from others
2- What ever comes to you from out side your world , do not accept it before you armed your self with 2 things , first know who is talking ( Trusted person or not ) , second, Think of what he said from your own right perspective
3- Don't arguee , because it will waste your effort and time in no result
4- Listen more thank to Speak

Still we have to keep on guard on our daily exposure for this thing they called advancement, futuristic gadgets, information hubs etc. since we, as a whole, can't deny that the information we get from it is somehow reliable in some other aspects in our lives. We should use it wisely.

Agree, this constant connection to the cloud can also be very addictive as we can see by the millions of users spending many hours a day at facebook or other social networks.
