    Stay Happy!

     
    Believe it or not, looking on the bright side of things can be good for your career and your mental health. Research shows that an attitude of gratitude in trying times can not only help you keep your job, but get you the job you want.

    The most common responses to economic problems are panic, fear, anger, distrust, and even hostility. But a study of the characteristics of recession survivors and found that those who avoided being cut were cheerful, likable, generous contributors -- and not necessarily the most skilled and proficient.

    Corporate leaders are likely now placing more value on workers who add positive energy to the atmosphere beyond increasing sales and visibility. That means that those who are grouchy and unpleasant can end up on the layoff list, along with the person who never says anything and flies under the radar.

    But, how do you stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when times are tough and you're struggling?

    Regardless of your situation, getting motivated and on-track isn’t difficult. It’s staying that way that’s the trick. And when you’re struggling to “make it,” sometimes it’s even harder.

    If you want to end the cycle of struggle, master these tips and you’ll be virtually unstoppable:

    First, know that this is a temporary state. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been where you are. All that you need to know is that nothing is permanent. The universe is constantly moving, evolving, and changing, and so are you. So instead of seeing this as a never-ending path into darkness, know that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Second, remind yourself what you’re fighting for. When you’ve been trying to make something happen for awhile, you can start to lose sight of the end goal. Instead of focusing on the reason you started this journey in the first place, you begin to focus on smaller, more immediate outcomes. Sometimes it’s helpful to create tangible reminders -- a vision board may be useful, or just a statement, penned boldly and tacked to a bulletin board near your workspace.

    Third, believe in yourself. One of the best ways to stay strong in your belief in yourself is to keep track of your successes, even the small ones. When you’re feeling down on yourself, go back to the list of successes and review them. Remind yourself that you are capable and you can make this work.

    Finally, get help before you’re in crisis. If you aren’t making the leaps ahead that you want to be making, there’s obviously something going on. Before things go too far, before you get lost and become totally unmotivated, get help!

    As you begin to master the ability to keep your motivation high, it will become easier to stay on-track. Moments of frustration will be fewer and farther between, and you’ll find that you actually achieve success and reach your targets faster.

    Must Read: 不得不看-女性篇

     
    谨以此篇献给我最最亲爱的姐妹们... 希望大家都健健康康的!
     

        女人月经来潮前会有头晕者,是癌症的前兆。抗癌之母-庄淑旗博士生于1922年,今年80岁了,庄淑旗博士的抗癌养生法--女生月经来时为何不能洗头 
        很早以前就常听到老一辈的人这样规劝我们这些不怕死的年青人,因为问他们:为什么不行?没人回答得出来,只说:那是以前人经验累积的告戒,不听的话,以后老了就会知道!所以就这样,一直觉得那可能是古早环境不好,没有像我们现在有吹风机,洗好马上吹干,应该就没事了… 想不到……看了这篇文章后,才知道不是有没有吹干的问题。各位不论是小女孩还是大女人,都应该要注意,不要洗头就对了。男生收到也看一看,跟你有关的女人都应该让他知道这个正确观念才是!
        台湾的女医学博士庄淑旗根据研究医学,先后在日本庆应大学修得药理博士、医学博士,她对日本癌症患者三万人的病发前的生活调查发现,绝大多数的癌症患者均有极端的偏食习惯,并在调查中有惊人的发现,大多数的乳癌及子宫癌患者,喜欢在月经来潮时,洗头发、提重东西、或产后不注意调养或吃冰冷食物,致子宫收缩不完全,而使体内贺尔蒙分泌不平衡,长久累积而致癌。由于这项发现,庄博士乃潜心研究女性月经期间生理调理的方法,在日本发表改善月经期间饮食法,与改变生活方式疗法,结果使许多日本妇女因乳癌、子宫癌症及得患其它癌症开刀者,因饮食、生活的改善,而使癌症不再发。现在这个疗法已在日本被广为宣传,每年有数万人因而得救,这个方法就是,在月经期不能洗头,她说古老的时侯,妇女们都知道月经期间不能洗头,将之传给她的女儿媳妇,但不知其原因,有许多现代人总以为科学发达,古老的说法无凭据,不信,结果竟得乳癌,庄博士说:以往子宫大量出血的妇女,在妇科未发达以前,她们都不愿找医师看病,而有一个自疗方法,即是将头发用水打湿,则子宫收缩,血立刻止掉。因为这个原理,她发现,月经来潮时,不能洗发,不能吃冰冷食物,以免让排出的污血未排净,而残留在子宫之内,日积月累,贺尔蒙分泌失调,而有乳癌、子宫癌的发生,除了不洗发,不吃冰冷食物外,如月经来潮前会有头晕、胀奶、便泌者,这是癌症的前兆,预防方法可依体型用黑糖、莲藕、萝葡、薏仁等,熬汤饮之,则可防止癌细胞的发展,达到最佳的预防方法。


    ************************************
       少喝奶茶,不吃刚烤的面包,远离充电电源,白天多喝水晚上少喝,一天不喝多于两杯咖啡,少吃油多的食物,最佳睡眠时间为晚10点到早6点,晚5点后少吃大餐,一天喝酒不能超过1杯,不用冷水服胶囊,睡前半小时服药忌立即躺下,睡眠不足8小时人会变笨,有午觉习惯的人不易变老,手机剩一格点时不要打电话,因为一格电打电话时的辐射是平常的1000倍,还要记得要用左耳接电话,右耳接电话会直接伤到大脑。
        现在很多女性朋友们,都有一个最爱得的毛病,就是乳腺癌(千万不要摘。一摘就麻烦了,摘一个,过不了几年另一个必摘),和子宫肌瘤,卵巢囊肿三位一体的妇科病。我本人不是医生,但是知道这病的病理,他们都来至我们的例假。第5条,非常好。要养成记录生理周期的习惯。
        正常的例假情况是每月28天,正负不能超过一天,每次时间应该4到5天。忽前忽后都不行。量多了也不行,量少了也不行。如果有痛经的女性朋友,不要不去管他,长期不管他,以后可能得以上三种的机率很大。经痛到医院去医生说是很正常的,确实这个不叫病。叫症状。特别是要准备在怀孕的妈妈们,一定要调好。为什么有的宝宝生出来,有小孩多动症,隔三岔五的感冒,绝对偏食?就是妈妈的例假出问题了。
        在食谱里添加杂粮和蔬菜,一定要多吃五谷杂粮。五谷:大豆,大米,玉米,小麦,谷黍。大家有没有发现电视上的不孕症的广告也越来越多了?其实就是因为我们长期吃的食物中激素,农药,化肥多过,肝脏的排泄力度不够,排不出来以后,很多的脏东西要通过卵巢来走,走不出来就会逐渐在堵塞,输卵管一堵,不孕症就太正常了。
       夏天大家一定要禁嘴,不要吃冰冷的食物。寒气就到胃里,就像庄博士说的,就形成寒淤,让排出的污血未排净,而残留在子宫之内,日积月累。(子宫肌瘤就是积累的残留)

    Life Together

    Finish the story if you can. One of the most touching stories I have ever heard and I think this is true! So what are you waiting for?

     

    Life Together

     

    One fine day, an old couple around the age of 70, walks into a lawyer's office. Apparently, they are there to file a divorce.

     

    Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their story....This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over yrs of marriage nothing ever seems to go right.

     

    They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have already grown up, have their own family, there's nothing else the old couple have to worry about, all they wanted is to lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce....

     

    Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, because he felt that after 40 yrs of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn't understand why the old couple would still want a divorce..

     

    While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband..
    "I really love u, but i really cant carry on anymore, I'm sorry.."
    "Its o.k, i understand... " said the husband. Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just 3 of them,wife thought, why not, since they are still gonna be friends..

     

    At the dining table, there was a silence of awkwardness.
    The first dish was roasted chicken, immediately, the old man took the drumstick for the old lady.."take this, its your favorite.."

     

    Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe there is still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she answer.."
    This is always the problem, you always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don't you know that i hate drumsticks?"

     

    Little did she know that, over the years, the husband have been trying all ways to please her, little did she know that drumsticks was the husband's favorite. Little did he know that she never thought he understand her at all, little did he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he wants is the best for her.

     

    That night, both of them couldn't sleep, toss and turn, toss and turn...after hours, the old man couldn't take it anymore, he knows that he still loves her, and he cant carry on life without her, he wants her back, he wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her "i love you"...

     

    He picks up the phone, starting dialing her number.....ringing never stops..he never stop dialing....

     

    On the other side, she was sad, she couldn't understand how come after all these years, he still doesn't understand her at all, she loves him a lot, but she just cant take it anymore....phone' s ringing, she refuses to answer knowing that its him...."whats the point of talking now that its over...i have ask for it and now i wanna keep it this way, if not i will lose face.."she thought...still ringing...she have decided to pull out the cord...

     

    Little did she remember, he have heart problems...

     

    The next day, she received news that he had passed away...she rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on the couch still holding on to the phone...he had a heart attack when he was still trying to get through her phone line....

     

    As sad as she could be...she will have to clear his belongings.. .when she was looking thru the drawers, she saw this insurance policy, dated from the day they got married, with the beneficiary being her... And together in those file, there was this note...

     

    "To my dearest wife, by the time you're reading this, I'm sure I'm no longer around, I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that i have made when we got married, I might not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to continue taking care of you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to know I will always be around, by your side... " I LOVE YOU SWEET HEART"

     


    Tears flowed like river......

     

    "When you love someone, let them know... You never know what will happen the next minute.... Learn to build a life together.. Learn to love each other. For who they are.. not what they are..."
