Wisdom

Harvard researchers have found that taking a daily nap can reduce the risk of death from heart disease. The study showed subjects who napped at least three times a week had a 37% lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who stayed awake all day.


It takes 24 hours to waste day, while it takes 24 minutes to make a person's day.


3 Great ECOLOGY TIPS:
1) If you buy "long life" products (such as batteries and light bulbs) or "concentrated" products, (such as juices or detergents) you not only prevent buying unnecessary packaging, but you prevent more products from ending up in a landfill!
2) If you buy less disposable items or none at all (cloth napkins, towels and diapers instead of paper ones), you prevent more things from ending up in a landfill, and you don't use any packaging.
3) If you bring your own bags to the store with you, you not only prevent having to recycle additional bags, you recycle an existing bag.


DON'T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME


Coping with stress
Many of the stressful situations we come across in your daily lives cannot be avoided or changed, but we can change how we respond to the stress. Try improving your way of dealing with stress or a stressful situation. Take a deep breath.


"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


Create Electricity
When talking to others, lean forward to show the other person that you are interested in what they have to say. Sitting up or with a straight back gives off the impression that you are not interested in what they are saying. Next time try leaning forward and you will be amazed at the electricity it will create.


*Wizard's Note: I am not making light of these words of wisdom, with the picture of Homer's brain, that is just to make it interesting!
