Thoughtful words:

Respecting mother: When Muhammad B. Sīrīn (r) would speak to his mother, he wouldn't use his complete tongue to pronounce words out of fear that he would be violating her esteem. Today, some of us may even damage our vocal cords to speak our minds with our mothers, especially if they disagree!

The most honorable work in the world is that done sincerely for Allah:

If you make the claim that you are serving for the sake of Allah, expect Allah to constantly test you in that claim. Expect ingratitude from the people you hope to benefit. Expect people constantly questioning your intentions and work. Expect that keyboard warriors will wage war on you. Expect feeling lonely amongst your peers. That’s all part of the package. This doesn’t justify the bad behavior of others, but makes you independent of their behavior as a whole. The most honorable work in the world is that done sincerely for Allah , but that honor should be sought only from Him. This life, along with all of it’s hardships caused by the people you will encounter in it, is temporary. The next life, along with all of it’s reward for the righteous and the praise of the Most High, is eternal. Source: recieved in WhatsApp.

Spend quality time with your children. This in turn could also help you and your child to escape from harms of smartphones and computer addictions:

- Spending time with your child  is better than spending money on your child.  - As a parent set times when you will check email and messages, and stick to them. Force yourself to keep work and family separate, and don’t let work-based stress overflow into family time. - Adults need to wake up and realize that modern computer violence with violent games are seriously nasty, and because children don’t experience any real pain whilst playing they become desensitized to violence. There is also evidence that it encourages aggressive, violent behavior and creates negative attitudes towards women. - Given that children learn by imitation, they will quickly begin mimicking what they hear and see. - Challenge your children to not touch their gadgets except for a specific amount of time and see to it that they use their time efficiently, thereby rewarding them with prizes! - As parents, we can definitely take steps to change this situation.  Will it be hard? Yes...

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) Said, ‘I do not eat when reclining... for I am but a slave; I eat as a slave eats and sit as a slave sits':

Abu Juhayfa Wahb ibn ‘Abdullah said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘I do not eat reclining.'”  al-Bukhari If eating with your hand, use three fingers with small bites, lifting it gently with ease to your mouth. Close your mouth while eating to avoid unnecessary noises. To eat on the floor is nearer to what the Prophet used to do. food on a sufra on the ground—for this is closest to what the The Messenger of Allah may Allah bless him and grant him peace did—rather than to place it on a raised table. ‘When food was brought to The Messenger of Allah (may God bless him and grant him peace), he would place it on the ground,’ for this is closer to humility. Thus, ‘The Messenger of Allah may Allah bless him and grant him peace used often to squat down on his knees and sit on his heels for the meal. At other times he would raise his right leg and sit on his left.’ He used to say: ...

Fear for Allah SWT deepens the love for Him:

The effect of fear on one's heart- Isn't it strange that fear for a force/person other than Allah SWT creates a feeling of resentment/ hatred for that person/ force while on the other side fear for Allah SWT deepens the love for Him, makes you think over twice before you do something and keeps you focused.
