Facebooking made Easier

Hello facebookers, here’s a list of short hand and short keys representing emoticons to be used in instant messaging. You can now facebook chat easier, faster and interesting: ENJOY!

1.       Shorthand for Laughing out Loud or Laugh out Loud, LOL is the most commonly used chat expressions to illustrate you are laughing during a text conversation or that you found something funny. LOL is also less commonly short for Lots of Laughter and Laughing on Line and is also often substituted by LAL, LAWL (Laughing a Whole Lot), LOLZ, and LUL. Although already an abbreviation LOL is also sometimes abbreviated even more as LL.

Finally, LAWL is also used as a slang term that phonetically spells out 'lol'. This is often said in the real life or over VoIP by someone who may type in lol a lot in chat.
 Although not as common as the above definition of LOL, this term can also mean Lots of Love and may be something added at the end of an e-mail, letter, or other correspondence.
 Short for Lots of Luck, LOL is another way of wishing someone good luck. This term could also be used sarcastically as telling someone they don't have a chance.

2.      Emoticon

Alternatively referred to as a smiley face or smiles, an emoticon is a method of showing an emotion on the Internet and text-based communication such as email, chat, and SMS. Emoticons are letters or symbols used on the keyboard to represent what you are feeling, for example, :-) when your head is turned to the left represents a smiley. The smiley face is often credited as being first suggested by Professor Scott Fahlman on a bulletin board September 19, 1982 when he made the below post.

TIME

A time management guru (Alan Lakein) once said, "Time = Life; Therefore, waste your time and waste off your life, or master your time and master your life." As arguably as this equation may seem, it's valid. Time, like life, is one of humanities greatest resources. But unfortunately, it is non-renewable; time wasted is time lost.

Most of us are familiar with the famous proverb, "Time and tide waits for no one". This is also true. The reason is if you lose a minute, you are not going to retrieve it again. There are days, when you would have worked continuously from sunrise till sunset, yet could not complete your work. Have you wondered why this happens? The one and only reason is because you have not prioritized your task and not understood the importance of time management.

Remember, one of the most important commodities that supermarket lack is "TIME". One may ask, “Why is time management so important?” The answer to this is simple, time is limited and scarce.

You must be aware each individual has the same number of hours, yet you would notice some people complaining about lack of time. You are bound to get out of focus, when there is "so little" time and you have "so much to do". Hence, for efficient time management it is important to set priorities and meet deadlines. When you start prioritizing things, you would notice that there is enough time for crucial activities in life.

Neither the rich nor the poor can store time. The quota of 24 hours is given to both the rich and the poor. The main difference between fame and failure lies in how one uses time skilfully. Hence, time management is all about wise usage of time.

Time management helps in organizing yourself. If you could allot certain amount of time for each work or an activity, you would have no worries about achieving your target. Time management is all about getting organized.

Remember, time is needed for each and every activity you undertake. You should know how to divide your waking hours among the various activities of the day. This would ensure that a task is completed and the time used is accounted for. The importance of time management is: it helps in realizing or achieving your goal.

Finally, managing your time at workplace is of great importance. It would relieve you of the stress and strain of the work environment. Time management is a skill that could be acquired by practicing it religiously. Lessening your stress at workplace by practicing time management skills is important. Poor time management leads to backlogs and piling of work leads to unnecessary stress.

Time management skills help in increasing the efficiency at workplace. If you are able to finish your targets by managing your time well, you have an edge over your colleagues.

At workplace, you should know how to prioritize your work on the basis of urgency. If you are able to recognize the importance of time management at workplace, it helps to boost your work performance and makes you an efficient and effective employee.

Time management skills play an important and crucial role not only in personal life but also in your career life. As you climb the corporate ladder, you should be in a position to implement your time management skills effectively.
