2.Commercial advertisement was once thought of as a technique of the marketers to inform the potential buyers about the availability of certain products.It was seen more as a medium to inform the buyers rather than persuade them to buy.The present day marketers see advertisement as a medium to damage the image of their competitors and their products.This indeed,is an undesirable and an immoral practice.Instead of speaking about their own products,these marketers speak about the drawbacks (often without any basics) of the competing products.People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods.A few such cases are given below.
1.Parachute Coconut Oil vs.V.V.D.Gold
Some time back,the producer of V.V.D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles (the reference was to Parachute coconut oil) was suitable only for un-natural hair.
2.Tata Salt vs.Captain Cook
Tata salt was first iodised (碘处理) salt marketed by an Indian Company.It has been enjoying a good and steady market.Captain Cook,another producer of iodised salt,who entered the market later,had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market.The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on‘Free flow'of their salt when transferred to a container.The producer of Tata Salt retaliated (报复) by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it with caution.
3.Pepsi vs.Coco Cola
Coca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996.When the cricket series was on,the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV.Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers preferred only Pepsi and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it.
4.Horlicks vs.Complan
Sometime back,the TV advertisement of Complan,a health drink directly attacked Horlicks,which has been in the market for several decades.The claim of Complan was that their brand (which according to them was Brand C) has a higher percentage of ingredients (材料) compared to Brand H (reference was nothing but to Horlicks).
The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors.This,certainly,is not a healthy trend.
Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors'products.The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in.There are many consumer products like salt,oil shaving blades etc.But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make the product different.
Mass media like Radio,Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies.Legal regulations,in this regard,should also be made stricter.

Here are five simple steps:
Make a list of 100things to do:Take out a piece of paper and write down anything and everything that comes to mind.From the littlest things to the most extreme,it all goes on your list.This simple act of writing this list stretches your imagination and opens up the possibilities to see your life.
Change up your routine:We are creatures of habit and this can lead to staying comfortable.Our life can tend to run on auto-pilot and we spend a large amount of time completely numb to what is happening around us.Therefore,by changing up our typical routine,we begin to have a better understanding of the experiences of our own life.
Learn something new every month or two:Remember when you were a kid and you had to learn something new all the time?You were nervous,excited,and a little scared when you first tried to ride a bike.But once you did it a few times,you began to get the hang of it and suddenly had an increase in your confidence with a feeling like you could fly.Once you begin to push yourself just that little bit extra,you quickly grow your comfort zone and feel braver to do even more.
Hang around with others:There are always those people whose lives are extraordinary.The best way to find out what they do different is to spend a little time with them.See how they think,speak,and act differently.You will be surprised at how quickly you begin to try some new things and feel more confident.This is a great way to follow some outstanding people and begin opening your mind to new ways of thinking.
Seize the day:There are opportunities that happen around us daily.Take notes on how many times you would really love to do something,but for some reason you find yourself saying no.Many times we say no because we feel we don't have time or money.Start saying YES to just one or two things you might have originally said no to.
The next time you find yourself feeling stuck in an ordinary life,try out at least one of these simple steps.Just that tiny bit of"extra"goes a long way and before you know it,you'll be expanding your world.

But those who are suffering from anxiety and depression caused by stress at work,relationships or financial problems tend to become computer addicts.Some people become addicted mainly because they feel bored with everything and feel like there is nothing else to do.
If one feels an intense desire to go online,play a computer game,or socialize as soon as he wakes up and before he goes to bed,he may have become an addict.Other symptoms include using the computer as the only source of entertainment,lying to his family and friends about the activities that he performs while on the computer.Some addicts possess anxious feelings when wanting to use the computer or knowing that time on the computer is limited.Others may lose track of time while on the computer and spend more time on it than intended.The computer can also be used as a form of escapism from reality.
Excessive computer use may result in the lack of face-to-face social interaction and an increasing amount of time and money on hardware,software and computer-related activities.Computer addiction makes one neglect his work,school,or family obligations.He often fails at repeated efforts to control computer use.So it's time to seek help for the sake of health.
Counseling (心理辅导) or therapy can focus on treating underlying mental health conditions that caused the addiction such as anxiety,depression,social trauma or other conditions.Many different options for group or community support are available to assist those addicts.Just getting out and interacting with others can be very rewarding to the computer addict.Another method is to focus on new interests.For instance,a computer user might take part in a new gym membership,spend time at the movies with friends or go out for a walk.If a computer user does feel that he must go onto the computer,consider talking himself out of the computer use unless it is absolutely necessary.If he does go on the computer,he must make a plan for what he will do when on the computer,how long it will take and what time you will be off of the computer.
