I never knew how much Muhammad Ali meant to me.  Today I was watching a  few videos about Ali on CNN, he really changed things, much more than any athlete during his time and set the stage for speaking out on social issues.  Possibly with some of the  athletes living with a disability in Nepal they can become spokespersons for disability rights. I was thinking about Prem who is such a good athlete.  After a recent League game I said you are so good but like Michael Jordan you need to help make your teammates better.

Facebook and other media can help you in many ways. You can find a job through them, you can promote your work and surely you can make new friends. But let's be aware over confining our personal life to the boundaries of social media. You can spend a lot of time on line but let's not forget that life must be experienced off line too.
