Don't Overload Your Brain

In the digital age, we're constantly fed info from social media, tiring our brains. It's hard to tell fact from fiction. This is 'Infobesity,' and it makes us easy prey for scams.

The Lesson Mom Taught

My mom taught me to think critically. A man claimed he was robbed, and my dad gave him money. Mom questioned why he came to our village, 10km away. That lesson stuck with me.

Critical Thinking is Necessary...

A news story about a girl's suicide over her mom's loneliness seems off. Why not marry someone who'd let her mom live with them? The story doesn't add up. This is critical thinking.

No to Sensationalism

Sensational news leads to cooked-up stories and negativity. Constantly feeding your brain with this toxic content poisons your mind and life. Focus on good content, not negativity.

Teach These to Your Children
