Washington, December 17 (ANI): ‘Messting’ is the new term coined for ruining your life by sending text messages.

Golfer Tiger Woods is the latest entrant to the club of ‘Messting.’

His extra-marital affairs with a number of women were exposed through the messages he had sent to his mistresses.

So, to avoid falling from grace, a list of five things to think about before hitting send has been advised, reports CBS News.

1. Love is temporary, text messages last forever

2. How will I feel if this message is printed on the cover of a newspaper?

3. What will happen if this message gets forwarded to 100 people?

4. There is no such thing as a confidential communication (every body tells at least one person)

5. Will the naked photo of myself I’m about to send hurt my ability to get a job? (ANI)
