In a world of 24×7 news channels it is often not possible to extricate ourselves from the breaking news of the day. Oftentimes, we feel like we are the characters, the news is like an espionage agent caught and being brainwashed. You are fed the same thing in different ways by different people through different channels that you tend to believe what is being said.

News bulletins don’t offer news anymore. They offer their personal opinions. It is the opinion of the anchor himself/herself or the channel itself or the political parties they are affiliated with. If you don’t know the strings pulled behind, then you would believe everything they say.

Be wary.

Secondly, we allow the news to dictate our day and attitude. That’s bad news for us.

You can’t invest in every story there is. Yes, people will die. There will be tragedy around the world, yes it is sad and our prayers are with the victims and their dear ones, but there is a life too. Your own life where you have to earn and learn. If you keep yourself emotional invested, your finances would suffer as your mindset of the moment will reflect in your work and in turn your financial well being.

There is a time and place for everything. Make sure the television set is used for what it is supposed to used for.

A few hours of entertainment and news and during a time period when it doesn’t affect your schedule.

There is no breaking news anymore through news channels. There is always the social media for that. Nobody lives faraway.

We know all about Egypt’s problems and sure, we know what is happening in Turkey and that train crash and then about those floods and more.

Do we know about what’s ailing your dear old uncle these days?

Why is your friend looking strangely silent?

Maybe there are pressing issues at hand, where you know, you can make a change.

Try that.
