Every professional and an employee knows how bad the current economic condition is - no jobs, more pay cuts, layoffs, higher workload, no bonus, no appraisal and what is even worse is that every one's living in the fear of loosing their job any minute. One can totally understand how stressful all this is for working professionals and employees. Buy you need to cope with all these issues or you'll find it really hard to concentrate on your work and do a good job. Here is how you can divert your mind from this stressful situation and be happy at work.
When you are overloaded with personal issues, it's really difficult to concentrate on work and be happy at your workplace. So, learn to share your problems with a close colleague. Do not keep your problems to yourself or you will end up feeling depressed. Follow one simple rule and you will always be happy in life. Leave your personal worries at home and your professional issues at work and then see the change in you. In fact this will help you stay focused and productive at work.
Make yourself comfortable at work: You must be spending at least eight hours a day at work, which obviously means that you spend more time in office than at home. So, make your space your own, do all that you like at your desk put pictures of you and you friends on your wall board. You could decorate your area as much your company policy permits, and make yourself as comfortable and relaxed as you can be in your office.
Have an office support system: Being good friends with a colleague who shares a similar kind of lifestyle can take a lot of pressure off you at work, trust us. When you are able to share your feelings with a colleague who understands you really well, it helps minimize stress to a great extent.
Maintaining a good diet and drinking loads of water can really make a huge difference in your energy level and attitude. When we say good diet, we mean avoid eating too much of refined food such as sugar and bread.
Once you reach office, do not stick to your seat and keep working the whole day. Move around a little. Go out for a cup of Tea or coffee with your colleagues, chat with your teammates or read something interesting but do not be a workaholic.
Don't try to change others: You obviously can't change any one you can only bring about changes in yourself. Just figure out a way to resolve conflicts and avert uncomfortable situations and you will be much happier at work.
Treat yourself once in a while: Think of something that will really make you happy. We mean reward your self once in a while. Whether it be dinner with family or friends, a movie, or even a manicure, but treat yourself once in a while. Just like how stress from home can interfere with work, the positive aspects of your life can greatly influence your mood at work as well.

Knowledge Base
1 What is RSS Feed
A- Rich Site Summary, also referred to as RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document is also referred to as a feed, web feed, or channel. It includes full or condensed text, publishing dates, and authorship.
Web feeds help publishers by letting them automatically syndicate content. This is beneficial to readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from preferred websites or to combine feeds
from many sites into one place.
Why Use RSS
RSS is the simple solution for people who use the web on the regular. It allows these users to easily stay informed by recovering the latest content from the sites which they are most interested in. People who use RSS save time by not having to visit each site separately. Because you don’t have to commit to any newsletter nor provide personal information, your privacy is ensured. Sites such as Yahoo News and Google News offer RSS feeds.
RSS is shaping up to be a very popular and useful means for communicating. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available.
Commonly Mentioned Uses
•Notification of the arrival of new products in a store
•Listing and notifying you of newsletter issues, including email newsletters
•Weather and other alerts of changing conditions
•Notification of additions of new items to a database or new members to a group.
2. How to deal with Spam Mails
First of all let me tell u that what is spam mail- E-mail spam, also known as
junk e-mail, is a subset of spam that involves nearly identical messages sent
to numerous recipients by e-mail.Spammers collect e-mail addresses from
chatrooms, websites, customer lists, newsgroups, and viruses which harvest
users' address books, and are sold to other spammers.
2.It is better to keep two email ids, one for your personal use and other one
should be used for receiving newsletters and notifications. In this way there
won’t be any mess attached with either id and you can stay away from confusion.
Make sure you use a very complicated term for your email id as it will be hard
for the spammers to get hold of. These days many major internet service providers
gives an anti spamming filter feature with which you can avoid unwanted spam.
You can also report any spam mails which are missed by the filter to the ISP,
so that the filter can stop that spam email from spreading around.
3.You should never open any mails that look suspicious, such as lottery winnings
or you have just won and stuffs like that. In case you opened any, then please
don’t click on any links in the content. If any such spam mail is responded or
such links gets clicked, the spammer will note you down as an easy target
for sending more vicious attacks. Always keep your firewall on and your antivirus
up to date.In case you already have an email id which floods with spam mails,
then consider making other email id straight away and pass it on to your friends.
4.Never give out any personal details to a source that you are not at all
sure about. Next important thing that you should know regarding how to
deal with spam emails is that, you shouldn’t be replying to any of your
spam mails. Once spammers realize that these things are being neglected
and ignored by most of the people around the globe, the rate of spam
emails will start declining, which means more peace while going through your inbox.
