Quit social media, read books, build yourself not just be a follower

Problem of social media

• there are a lot of unfiltered low quality and unqualified comment, and also incorrect or uncorrected information that can be create by anyone lead to many wrong decision in my life.

  • I used to make a wrong investment decision by reading too many low qualified comments on social media. In contrast, my prior decision that I compiled from reading a lot of good books and research a lot of information on my own was right. If I just follow on my own research, don't trust those self-claimed guru, I may be richer now.

• Many good informations are actually on social media but they can be easily substituted by reading books, news or any well-trusted sources. There are so many well-structured good books from many great people, read them and build yourself. Your life should not just be a follower of some cerebities on the social media, you should be able to think and decide on your own.

  • Being just a follower also damage your critical thinking skill which is one of the most vital skill for survive. Getting information from the primary source by yourself is so much better than just wait for someone's summary.

• Good information but not suitable at a particular time for an individual may cause distraction or even depression for a person such as good easy and successful life contents from friend may be not good for a man who is grinding and striving a lot to build his own life.

Conclusion: Use social media to just follow the trend is not worth you time at all, goes read book and build yourself!

P.S. I stop using Facebook, Tiktok because of poor content quality, but still use Youtube because of more professional and higher quality content. Although I use youtube, but because of dopamine reason, I will use it only at the end of the day or after my hard work has been finished.

Another choice: Because there are still many great people and good pages that always publish good and fast information on social media. It is advisable to create another profile on social media that follow only the people or pages that good for your life, not for any other purpose, esp. not for following those low quality contents.

• However, I think this is still not worth the time at all, read good books or analyzed the news by yourself is much more worth.
