Coping with social media

Since social media has been around before the dawn of the 21st century, certainly, by now, all basking in or seeking the limelight ought to be aware, or to have come to terms with its vast reach and capacity. And understood that, consequently, nothing said or done openly, or even privately — matters not by whom — can escape scrutiny any longer, as happened in the days and nights of yore, even if the attention span is limited.

Rather than bashing the social media then, learn not to be rash with, or around, it. For professional life microscoped by the amateur is not going to slide away ever. It’s too set to be offset by any earthly power throwing a spanner in its works.
