" What a ride "

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming --WOW -- " What a ride!!! " -

Help your colleagues

If you believe that you have finished your job, and you have time to spare, then use your time to help your colleagues who might have a heavy workload put on them. Even if it is not part of your job, helping others to get their work done not only helps to finish quick but also it influences that person to help you when you are in a busy period.

How to cut some Estate taxes

Both spouses put their property into A Bypass or credit shelter trust (AB trust). When one spouse dies, let’s say the husband, his half of the property goes to the beneficiary named in the trust, often grown children. A condition is that the wife can use that property for life, including any income it creates. When she dies, that part of the property goes directly to the children without being taxed in her estate. That means the wife’s taxable estate is half of what it would have been if she had inherited directly from her husband.

If you are only willing to invest 30 minutes a week in your Health maintenance!

A new study compared two groups of men 40 to 75 years old that did 30 minutes a week of weigh lifting versus fast walking; both groups reduced their risk of heart disease by 23% versus 18% respectively. While earlier studies have clearly demonstrated the advantage of aerobic exercise, if you only have time for one thing, lifting weights may be what you should choose.

Trust within yourself

"Don't go by gossip and rumor, nor by what's told you by others, nor by what you hear said, nor even by the authority of your traditional teachings. Don't go by reasoning, nor by inferring one thing from another, nor by argument about methods, nor from liking an opinion, nor from awe of the teacher and thinking he must be deferred to.

"Instead, Kalamas, when you know from within yourselves that certain teachings are not good, that when put into practice they lead to loss and suffering, you must then trust yourselves and reject them."
