Woooo… I think this is very interesting because it would greatly affect my relationship to hubby if this is true. It’s better sharing it with you.
According to Telegraph, the only thing we should keep in mind, to have a perfect marriage, is that the woman must be younger by 5 years and smarter than her partner in order for their marriage to work. They say this is the recipe the Geneva School of Business has come up with.
Though this theory is not new, a study conducted on over 1,000 subjects come to prove that, indeed, in order for marriage to work there has to be an age and IQ gap between wife and husband, with the scales tipped in her favor on both counts. Another prerequisite is that both partners should come from the same background, otherwise differences will only exacerbate in time and lead to the dissolution of the marriage, researchers believe.
“The academic study, published in the European Journal of Operational Research looked at 1,074 couples aged between 19 and 75 years, to find which social factors were most important to a long and happy relationship. Besides the man being five years older than his bride, and that his bride should share the same heritage, they concluded that a wife should be at least 27 per cent more intelligent than her husband. She should also hold a degree, while he should not. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the academics found that marrying a divorcee reduced the chance of wedded bliss,” the Telegraph says of the findings of the study.
Of course, there are also those who say that, while factors like age, IQ and background inevitably take their toll on the relationship and the institution of marriage, it’s hard to predict the chances of a relationship based on them alone, especially when it can fail even if they are met. Good thing they say that.
I think it’s working out. My weight loss plan is going the right way. I feel a little lighter than what I used to be. My tummy is shrinking little by little. And I’m fitting back to my favorite old trousers. Yepey! Although there is much to lose, I will continue doing what I am doing now.
I think the tea that hubby’s sister gave me is somewhat a fat burner. But, I am not pretty sure because the only understand the brand as it is written in English. The rest of the characters are written in Chinese, or Japanese or I don’t know. It’s a set of characters that I have no clue. Since she gave it to me, I think she knows it’s a good one. So, I am using it. Hehehe!
Just get it off your chest for peace of mind. It is very difficult for many people to speak up about their feelings. The most powerful way to neutralize negative emotions is to acknowledge them. In fact, when you honestly admit your feelings, you protect yourself from the flood of damaging stress hormones that these feelings produce in your body. Get it off your chest; clue people in if you are feeling disappointed, unhappy, or hurt about something.
Be honest when you convey your feelings, be kind when you criticize, and be positive when expressing your views. Once you acknowledge your feelings, they will be less likely to trouble you. Or you can hold your feelings inside, and you become a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at some minor incident – not a pretty picture for your long-term health! Own up to what’s in your heart and you will enjoy the benefits that come with peace of mind. I hope you take this advice and make honesty your policy!
By all means, cholesterol is a natural component of our body. It is a waxy, fat-like substance made in the liver and found in certain foods, such as from animals, like dairy products, eggs, and meat. It is needed by our body to function properly, make vitamin D, build cell walls, and create bile salts that help you digest fat. However, too much cholesterol can increase a person’s risk of developing heart disease arterial disease and strokes.
Contributing factors to having high blood cholesterol may be controllable while others are not. And these include: diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol, lack of exercise, family history, being overweight, age and gender cholesterol levels rise with increasing age, and men are more likely to be affected than women, and drinking too much alcohol.
There are two ways to lower cholesterol levels. One is with the help of lifestyle changes including changing diet, managing weight and increasing exercise. The other is the combination of lifestyle changes with prescribe cholesterol treatment.
However, prevention is better than cure. Any person may be able to prevent the development of high cholesterol by maintaining a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet, stopping smoking, not drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and taking regular exercise. But, this may not apply to some especially those that have family history of high cholesterol. They might get it even if they live a healthy lifestyle.
To effectively function as a leader, one must have the knowledge and skills that give them confidence and edge. This holds true in every aspect of organizations including the field of law enforcement, emergency medical services, fire services, disaster response or communication. Being a leader in this field is very tricky and daunting. One wrong move and it stripped someone out of the office.
There are a lot of chief of police and public safety figures that were removed from their ranks because of a wrong decision. Some of those cases were due to ineffective management of their people. That being said, there are preemptive measures to avoid getting into this sad situation. What could that be? That is through continually studying.
Being a leader requires a lot. It requires creative thinking and innovative problem solving and good decision making skills to effectively and efficiently manage the many complex challenges in the rapidly expanding sector of public safety. Some of these are gained through experience, while others through programs like taking up masters in public safety administration.
During this holiday’s, we are reminded to reflect on the bounty in our lives. Most of us have jobs, family, a place we call home and food on the table, and for these things and our ability to obtain them we should be grateful. But what about those who are struggling with financial difficulties, bad relationships, or employment problems? Do they owe any thanks for their circumstances? Can failure really be a gift in disguise?
Well, failures teach us about process. Thomas Edison tried over 9,000 designs before he created a working light bulb. A young reporter asked him how he felt after having failed 9,000 times. Edison replied, “I didn’t fail – I just learned 9,000 ways not to make a light bulb.”
We must see that failure is often a clue to redirect our efforts in a different direction and to follow a different set of plans. How many times have we learned how not to sell a product, how not to get a new job, or how not to judge a future mate? If a series of failures leads us to open our minds to new knowledge or information, or gives us the willingness to try different behaviours’ then we haven’t failed, we’ve learned how to create different results.
Basically, if you want to manage anger, the only way of doing so is to listen to your self-talk. This doesn’t mean listening to yourself talk. It means listening to your SELF-TALK. It’s quite true that anger is created from within. No matter how much you say the anger comes from you, not it or she. Our thoughts about “it” or “she” is actually where the anger comes from. And by changing our thinking we can change the way we feel.
Doesn’t it make sense, then, if anger is created from within that we have the power from within to keep from getting angry? The answer is a definitely yes. By adjusting how you think about a situation, to listen your self-talk, is how you keep yourself from getting mad – period. How? By listening for demands, what are demands? They’re easy to spot. They tend to express themselves in words such as should, ought, must, have-to, need. Depending upon the context and situation, when these words or thoughts are used they will create anger. Whether you use them on someone or someone is using them on you, a sense of anger, rage or mad evolves from these words/thoughts of demand when things don’t go your way.
