Update Your Facebook Status with Twitter

Did you know that it is possible to have Twitter automatically update your Facebook page? It’s actually very simple. In fact, I haven’t manually updated my Facebook status in months.

twitter logo with arrow pointing to facebook pages
To get this process working, follow these six simple steps. It shouldn’t take you more than five minutes, max. These instructions assume that you already have both a Facebook account and a Twitter account.
  1. Make sure you are logged into Facebook. Now go to the Facebook’s Twitter application page. Now click on the Go to Application button. It looks like this: how-to-update-your-facebook-status-wiith-twitter-01.jpg
  2. The application will now ask you to confirm that Twitter can access your Facebook information. Click on the Allow button. how-to-update-your-facebook-status-wiith-twitter-02
  3. Now log into your Twitter account by entering your Twitter username and password. The screen looks similar to this: how-to-update-your-facebook-status-wiith-twitter-03
    Click on the Login button.
  4. You can now actually use Twitter from within Facebook. The screen looks like this: how-to-update-your-facebook-status-wiith-twitter-04
    Personally, I never use this. I want the reverse of this. I want to update my Facebook status from Twitter. Therefore, click on the Allow Twitter to Update Your Facebook Status button in the upper-right of the screen.
  5. You should get a confirmation screen that looks similar to this: how-to-update-your-facebook-status-wiith-twitter-05
    Now confirm that you are willing to let Twitter update your Facebook status by clicking the Allow Status Updates button.
  6. After you click this button, you will go to the Twitter application. Don’t Twitter anything from here. Instead, go to your Facebook Home page, by clicking the Home link on the Facebook menu. Now you can test the connection by going to your favorite Twitter application or the Twitter web page and entering a tweet. Wait a minute or two and go back to your Facebook home page and refreshing it. Your most recent tweet should be displayed as your Facebook status. This is how my status looked:
    how-to-update-your-facebook-status-wiith-twitter-06
That’s all there is to it. Now every time you Twitter something, your Facebook status will be automatically updated.
Update: If you don’t want to send every one of your tweets to Facebook, then check out Selective Twitter Status. It allows you to designate the tweets you want to appear on Facebook by end a tweet with the #fb “hashtag” in your post. Only those tweets with the hash tag at the end will be posted on Facebook.

Can Formula One Overtake Cricket As No.1 Sports Passion in India?


Sachin Tendulkar had a unique experience and for one, it had not having to do with breaking his own cricket records. Instead his presence at the first ever Indian Formula 1 Grand Prix was almost as important as the race itself.

Michael Schumacher, Sachin Tendulkar

The Buddh International Circuit saw F1 boss, Bernie Ecclestone, personally invite Indian batting’s colossus genius, Sachin Tendulkar, for the inaugural event and Tendulkar had the honour of waving the chequered flag as Red Bull’s double champion racing driver, Sebastien Vettel, was the first to cross the finish line for a record eleventh time in the year to match Michael Schumacher.
Tendulkar has been missing in action on the cricket field and was not seen during the England team’s visit to India for the ODI series with a toe injury. However, he turned up at the Noida venue with his wife, Anjali Tendulkar, and daughter Sara Tendulkar for the prestigious event in a major international motorsport event for India.
Sachin Tendulkar also observed a minute of silence along with the F1 drivers by way of condolence for the tragic deaths of Dan Wheldon and Marco Simoncelli who lost their lives in two separate motorsport accident at the Indy car racing and Moto GP respectively, once again highlighting the perils of high speed racing.
This though is not Tendulkar’s first brush with Formula One, having met Michael Schumacher, then racing with Ferrari, during the British Grand Prix in 2002 when the latter also presented him with his Ferrari which Tendulkar recently sold for a Nissan GTR car.
Tendulkar was one of the high profile celebrities present at the venue along with Bollywood actors as well as fellow cricketers such as Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh. Tendulkar is said to be have been ecstatic about the prospect of being the one ot wave the chequered flag at the end and tweeted about it as much. Although Tendulkar is perhaps not all that well known across the Formula One world as he is amongst the cricket friendly nation, that he was possibly the highest ranked celebrity outside of the drivers themselves could not be argued.

There is undoubtedly a grand following for Formula One amongst Indians and the fact that the racing was brought to India made it more of a celebration of adrenaline that is not easy to get over as the weekend proved in plenty. However, that it can actually match the crazed following that cricket enjoys in India seems a task even the multi million dollar speed thrill would have earn over time. And that would not be easy with just the one race in India although it would have done a lot towards making more people aware of the sport and perhaps see more viewership from India for more international F1 races, although only two remain in the 2011 season.
While cricket cannot match steps with Formula One racing's worldwide following, it would certainly have a tough task sustaining interest in a sport that will see only one race a year.

How to be a good fighter of Life



If you want to succeed in life, you have to be a good fighter. Why? Because you need to fight to get valuable things in life. While you could achieve things without much effort, there is always a price for the precious ones. They not only come to you out of the air.

   The question is: how can we be a good fighter in life? Five things you should do.

   First, you should know what you want. If you do not even know what your goals are, there is no way you can be a good fighter. Without knowing what you want, you can end up getting things wrong. Without knowing what you want, you can also lack the motivation you need to succeed. Just think of a corridor. No matter how good it is a corridor, he is a big problem if he does not know where is the finish line.

   Second, you need to expect failures and prepare for them. This is important because otherwise you may get discouraged when you encounter difficulties along the path. Waiting for failure, you will be able to keep your motivation high when you face challenges. In preparation for the failures, you will be able to quickly get around it and even use them as trampolines.

   Third, you must train intensely alone. Just look at the athletes who are preparing for Olympics. They can expect to get gold without intensive training? I do not think so. Even talented athletes require intensive training for best results. Similarly, you need to intensive training in any field you are working. Discipline has to improve itself.

   Fourthly, you must always do your best on each occasion. Aim to beat your last performance and break your own records. Doing this will push you to move and never rest.

   Fifth, surround yourself with the right people. The trip will be much easier if you have the right people around you. Find people who can encourage you when you're down and remind you when you're wrong. Find people who can complement their skills and knowledge. Together with the right people, you will be able to achieve much more than what you can never achieve it. Applying these five points is not easy, but they will help you be a good fighter and achieve success in life.

How To Be Happy

At the end of the day, what most people really want in life is to be happy.


Many people believe that happiness comes from obtaining certain objects. They say things like,
"I’ll be so happy when I get my new iPod!"
However, the happiness associated with obtaining these objects is usually fleeting. Have you ever received something you really wanted only to have it end up sitting on a shelf gathering dust a few weeks later? I know I have!
So, if lasting happiness can’t be found by obtaining ‘things’, how can we increase the levels of happiness in our lives?
I believe that the best way to obtain lasting happiness is to bring happiness into the lives of others. The most amazing thing about happiness is that the more you give away to others, the more you receive for yourself.
Here is a step-by-step plan that will help you bring happiness into the lives of others and thereby increase your own levels of happiness.
Step 1: Select someone in your life that you care about. It could be your partner, a child, a friend, a nephew or niece etc.
Step 2: Identify that person’s current passion in life. To do this, just ask them what they’re up to or interested in at the moment.
Step 3: Organise an experience that combines spending time with that person and persuing their passion.
Here’s a real life example to show you exactly how this works:
When my Cousin Kanha was 8 years old, his main passion in life was drawing. One day I arranged to pick him up to go on an ‘painting day’. Our first stop was a stationary store where we puchased a sheets and colours.
We then draw everything he knew. What made this experience so special was that we were spending time together pursuing his main passion in life.
Kanha was unbelievably excited. His happiness in turn made me incredibly happy. This trip is one of my fondest memories . The total cost of our expedition was just 100 Rupees.
So, whenever you’re feeling a little low and need a dose of happiness, one of the best things you can do is to focus on making someone else happy. Remember…

How To Handle Feedback




An important skill for achieving success in life is learning how to respond to feedback from the people around you. When you master this skill you’ll have the power to improve almost every aspect of your life.

feedback

There are three different types of feedback:
(1) Positive feedback 
(2) Constructive negative feedback 
(3) Destructive negative feedback
How To Handle Positive Feedback
Positive feedback is a gift and it should be acknowledged and appreciated like any other gift. Surprisingly, many people dismiss positive feedback with off hand comments. Do any of these examples sound familiar to you?
Feedback: "You look beautiful tonight"
Response: "No I don’t, I just look the same as always"
Feedback: "You did a great job on that report"
Response: "Oh, it was nothing"
Feedback: "I love your necklace!"
Response: "It’s not real, its a fake"
Making dismissive comments like this in response to positive feedback is the equivalent of being handed a gift and tossing it over your shoulder without even opening it.
A much better way to respond to positive feedback is to simply make eye contact, smile, and say, "Thank-you". By doing this you will acknowledge and enjoy the gift of positive feedback.
How To Handle Constructive Negative Feedback
Believe it or not, this is the most beneficial type of feedback of all. While positive feedback can help you feel better, constructive negative feedback can help you get better.
Many people get defensive when someone gives them constructive negative feedback. They say things like, "What would she know!" or alternatively, they try and justify themselves and prove the other person wrong.
A much better way to respond to constructive negative feedback is to thank the person for taking the time to provide you with feedback and then ask yourself:
How can I use this feedback to improve?
For example if you own a business and a customer complains about something, instead of trying to prove the customer wrong, thank them for the feedback and take the opportunity to improve your business so that the complaint does not impact another customer in the future.
When you use negative feedback in this way, it becomes a powerful tool for improving your business, your work environment and your relationships.
How To Handle Desctructive Negative Feedback
Destructive negative feedback is negative energy that is meant to cause pain rather than help you to improve. The important thing to understand about destructive feedback is that it is often a way for someone to lash out at the world around them.
In many cases it has very little to do with you and everything to do with the way that person is feeling about themselves and their own problems.
The best way to deal with destructive negative feedback is to recognise it for what it is and just let it go without taking it to heart.
Unfortunately many people have their ‘feedback model’ back-to-front. They dismiss positive feedback, fight constructive negative feedback and dwell on destructive negative feedback.
If instead, you can learn to accept and enjoy positive feedback, use constructive negative feedback to constantly improve and avoid destructive negative feedback, you will greatly accelerate your progress to success.
This Week’s Action Steps
1. Learn to recognise and distinguish between the three types of feedback.
2. When you receive positive feedback, accept and enjoy it as a gift. Simply make eye contact, smile and say thank-you.
3. When you receive constructive negative feedback say, "Thanks for the feedback" and use it to improve.
4. When you receive destructive negative feedback, recognise that it is the act of someone lashing out and don’t take it to heart.

How To Get What You Want

Asking people for what we want can sometimes be a difficult process involving awkward discussions and potential conflict. However, it doesn’t have to be that way.




shake

The secret to getting what you want from other people is to develop a genuine sense of reciprocity by giving before you receive.
The term ‘reciprocity’ describes the expectation that people will respond to you in the same way that you respond to them. So if you give another person something of value, they will be much more inclined to give you something in return.
Next time you want something from someone, instead of simply asking or demanding what you want, try using the following Reciprocity Formula.
The Reciprocity Formula
Step 1: Analyse the situation from the other person’s point of view and try to identify what they currently want. If you can’t figure out what they want, the best thing to do is to ask them.
Step 2: When you have identified the main thing they want, present your case by saying something like, "If I help you achieve… [what they want], could we discuss… [what you want]. Most reasonable people will be open to this approach because they are receiving before they have to give.
Step 3: Follow through and help the other person achieve their objective. The more time and effort you put in during this step, the more reciprocity you will develop.
Step 4: When you have achieved the objective you agreed upon, revisit your initial discussion and ask for what you originally wanted.
Here’s an example that shows how the Reciprocity Formula works in the real world:
Sherry worked as a Sales Rep in a software company and wanted to ask her boss for a raise. From previous experience, she knew that simply asking for a raise was rarely effective so she decided to apply the Reciprocity Formula.
Step 1: Sherry had lunch with her boss and asked him what his major goal was for the quarter. He informed her that what he really wanted was to sell 1000 copies of the companies new accounting software before the end of the financial year.
Step 2: Sherry then presented her case by saying, "If I can sell 1000 copies of the new accounting software by June 30th, would you be open to discussing a raise?" Her boss said he’d be happy to.
Step 3: Sherry got down to work and devised a viral marketing campaign on the Internet. She worked extremely hard and her boss could see that she was serious about achieving her goal.
Step 4: Sherry achieved her sales goal and arranged to have lunch with her boss again. In a three month time frame, she’d added a great deal of value to the company and in doing so, she’d also built up a genuine sense of reciprocity with her boss. Over lunch, Sherry’s boss confirmed that he would be happy to give her a raise.
Giving before you receive and developing a genuine sense of reciprocity is one of the most effective ways to get what you want from other people. So today, I’d like to encourage you to use the Reciprocity Formula to develop true WIN-WIN agreements that will help you achieve your most important life goals.

How To Deal With Negativity

One of the most common questions I get asked is how to deal with a spouse, relative or close friend who has a tendency to be negative. Clearly in this situation you can’t simply walk away and spend all your time with positive people.
Imagine for a moment that your spouse, relative or friend is like a glass that is filled with a dark liquid which represents their negativity.
A lot of people try to rectify this situation by saying things like, "I really wish you’d stop being so negative all the time!"
The problem with this approach is that criticism is a form of negative energy and you are therefore adding more negativity to the situation which usually makes things worse not better.
So what’s the answer?
The answer is to pour positive energy into their glass instead!
As you continue to pour positive energy into their glass their negativity will slowly be diluted. Here are five ways to do this in the real world:
(1) Share fun and enjoyable experiences together. It is hard for people to be negative when they are having fun.
(2) Don’t dwell on negative conversations. When your spouse, relative or friend starts being negative, redirect the conversation to a less contentious topic. An effective way to do this is by asking a qustion about a new topic.
(3) Be a positive example. Continue to enjoy your life even if you initially have to do it alone. As you enjoy yourself, continually invite your spouse, relative or friend to join in the fun.
(4) Coordinate an Escape. Often negativity comes from staying in a negative environment for too long. A great way to help your spouse, relative or friend is to assist them to escape that environment on a regular basis. This can be as simple as getting out of the house and going for a walk. A complete change of scene can often act as a pressure valve and help you reconnect.
(5) Identify and Replace negative routines. Review how you spend time with your spouse, relative or friend and identify negative routines such as complaining about your job every week at Friday night drinks. Once you’ve identified a negative routine, replace it with something different to break the pattern of negativity.
At the end of the day, we all have a tendency to be negative at times and what we need at those times is someone to help lift us up rather than criticise us for being negative. Therefore the most effective way to deal with negativity is to dilute it with positive experiences and positive energy.
