Quotes of the Day

Consume 0.31-0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. If you weigh 130 pounds, that comes to about 40-47 grams of protein per day, of which 30 grams should be consumed in a single meal to maximize muscle synthesis. Since this minimum requirement can change from person to person, it is preferable to occasionally consult a dietitian, to make sure that a healthy, lean body mass is maintained. Protein intake should be increased slightly after age 65 in individuals who are losing weight and muscle. For most people, a 10-20% increase (5-10 grams more per day) is sufficient. [2018] - Valter Longo

Don't worry about the city's property assessment or about what the sellers paid for it. Those numbers are mostly irrelevant. You may be able to use them in your negotiation if it comes to that, but for the purposes of evaluating the property they're not important. [2013] - Julie Broad

I’m a staunch believer in using technical analysis as the main method of trading, but I still think it’s important to know why the market is doing what it is doing. [2003] - Marcel Link

You simply can't think efficiency with people. You think effectiveness with people and efficiency with things. If we delegate to time, we think efficiency. If we delegate to other people, we think effectiveness. Gofer delegation means "Go for this, go for that, do this, do that, and tell me when it's done." Stewardship delegation is focused on results instead of methods. [2004] - Stephen R. Covey

After the first few times someone cancels, declines an invitation, or claims to be busy, it's probably best to let it go or to leave it to the other person to make another move. You may want to avoid calling or texting the person or leaving Facebook messages. You might want to resist the urge to try to run into her in places where she hangs out or ask a mutual friend what she's up to. Pursuing someone who's disinterested will probably make you feel worse. [2014] - Shannon Kolakowski
