It's important to remember that what people choose to post on social media does not necessarily reflect their life overall. People tend to pick and choose the things they share, so we only ever know a small part of anyone else's life.
It's also important to be humble and acknowledge your limitations. You cannot be everywhere and do everything that might be interesting or productive, and that's OK.
It might even be necessary to turn off your phone or log out of social media for a while. Get rid of the constant reminders of everything that's happening in the world.
You can even set particular times in your day to check email and social media. By stepping away for a time, you can help keep other people's lives in perspective.
Finally, focus on the things in front of you. Relish them, and do them well and let everything else go. When you fully engage with life, you'll worry less about what you're not doing.
Don't let the fear of missing out cause you to miss out on the good things you have in life. Relax, enjoy what you do and let other people enjoy their lives without envying them.

clickbait 誘餌式的標題或連結
Hello, friends. Welcome to Info Cloud. We have talked a lot about the Internet culture. Today we are going to talk about something we all encounter every day, clickbait.
You know, we are constantly looking at so much clickbait on the Internet every day, it's becoming a problem now.
Clickbait is a link you see on a web page that contains a very provocative title such as "you won't believe this happened!" or "I can't believe this works so well!" that makes you curious and want to click on it to find out more.
There's nothing wrong with that. But the problem is that the title is often misleading and does not contain the content it is hinting to deliver after you click.
Oftentimes you are led to a sales page that prompts you into buying something and spending money that you regret later.
Since most of us are on the Internet every day, clickbait is definitely something we should all watch out for.
今天要分享一個跟所有人都息息相關的生字，那就是clickbait，click是點選連結，bait是誘餌，所以 clickbait 可以說是誘餌式的標題或連結，通常clickbait的字眼都是很聳動或是引起人們好奇心的，像是: 「他天天使用這個產品，沒想到...」之類的廣告詞，讓你很想要去點那個連結。
clickbait 字面上有負面的涵義，因為你通常點進去之後，內容並不如標題精彩，或是根本沒有關係。最慘的是，你點進去的網頁，有可能讓你掏錢買東西，因此，我們在上網的時候，必須對這些clickbait 提高警覺心，以免遭受不必要的損失。
