Post what you think is important on facebook, not everything.

放上你覺得是重要的事情在臉書上

而不是所有的事情

When I was in Finland, it was fun to browse the pages, in that most of them were posts from Taiwan. Very seldom my European or American friends posted things. It was always easy to update the lives of my friends back in Taiwan, but not with the Europeans.

當我在芬蘭的時候，能夠流覽所有的頁面真的很有趣，因為大說出現在我的畫面的都是台灣的貼文。少數我的歐洲朋友或美國朋友會貼上東西。通常都很容易了解和更新台灣朋友的生活，但歐洲朋友的就沒有那麼容易。

From facebook, I could easily saw that someone got married, had kids, graduated , travelled to somewhere etc. It was easy to catch up with people’s lives without actually seeing the person or face to face talks.

從臉書裡，我可以很輕易的看到朋友結婚、生小孩、畢業或到某處旅行等等，不用親自見到朋友也可以快速的跟上朋友的生活。

I started to post less while I was in Finland, comparing to the time I was in Taiwan. In Taiwan, people posted everything, from everyday foods to clothing to gatherings, as a way to share their lives, to memorize every minute, every second, thought.

在芬蘭的時候我開始少放上照片，不像我在台灣的時候放的那麼多。在台灣的時候，大多數人什麼都會放上去，從每天吃的食物到每件衣服、聚餐等等，東作是一個分享他們生活的方式，來回憶每分鐘、每秒、每個想法。

In Finland, it was kind of the opposite. People posted very little about themselves, they posted big things such as weddings, travelings, graduations etc.

在芬蘭，這是完全相反的。人們比較少放上跟他們有關的東西，他們會放上比較大的事情像是婚禮、旅行、畢業等等。

One of the big reasons for this differences was also the Asians seldom have time to relax or enjoy their lives, so we were posting all of what we were enjoying at that moment on social media. While the Europeans were just out there enjoying their lives without bringing their cell phones to cut off contacts and connections.

其中一個主要的差別是因為亞洲人比較少有時間放鬆和享受自己的生活，所以我們常常會放上社交媒體所有我們正在做的事情。在這個時候歐洲人就在外面享受他們的人生，有時不會帶手機，來阻斷別人的干擾和通訊。

I tried to enjoy most of the moments and times I have in the Nordic country that somehow I don't have that much time on the internet to share everything. I hated to go to a party and tagged myself that hey I was in a party! Or going on a hike and said that I’m now on a mountain. Or be in a gym with my phones while I tried to squat with 80 kg of weights.

我試著去盡情享受所有在北歐的時光，所以我似乎沒有那麼多時間在網路上分享所有的事情。我不喜歡去派對的時候別人要替我貼標籤，或是去健行的時候說嗨囉!我在山上唷!或是在健身房裡面在我深蹲80公斤的時候用電話打卡。

I just hated that. Because it’s a big distraction while I am doing something…

我很不喜歡那樣做，因為在我做事情時那實在是一個太大的分心…

I noticed one thing as I am with social media, the more lonely and bored I am, the more I posted. This discovery was also similar to a recent study related to social media usage.

我發現一件事情，當我在使用社群網站的時候，我越感到孤單、無聊，我就越會發表一些內容，或許只是我，但這個發現和最近一個社群網站的研究結果差不多。

Of course you can use social media in different ways, whatever the way you like it. Just remember that, the river can carry a boat, yet, it can turn the boat over as well. Be careful!

當然你可以隨意使用社群網站，用你任何喜歡的方式，只是要記得，水能載舟，亦能覆舟，要小心!
