Quotes of the Day

The problem with persistent and recurrent depression is not "getting sad" in the first place. Sadness is a natural mind-state, an inherent part of being human. It is neither realistic nor desirable to imagine that we can or should get rid of it. The problem is what happens next, immediately after the sadness comes. The problem is not the sadness itself, but how our minds react to the sadness. [2007] - Mark Williams

Mindfulness-based stress reduction, or MBSR, is a program created by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School for people with no or little meditation experience. MBSR is great for anyone who wants to reduce stress; it's an especially good match for people suffering from chronical physical pain. MBSR includes training in the nature of the mind, mindful breathing, a mindful body scan, and yoga. Taking a class in a group is a unique live experience, but for those who don't have access to MBSR locally, the University of Massachusetts Medical School's Center for Mindfulness offers an online course (https://www.umassmemorialhealthcare.org/umass-memorial-center-mindfulness).  [2017] - Elizabeth Blackburn

Vacation homes are a great investment for the right investor. In some areas, with fantastic weather year-round, you could potentially expect to have many people interested in renting the property throughout the year. The return on these types of properties can be higher, however the risks may also be higher. With vacation properties, there will be increased cleaning and property management costs, the need to purchase furniture, advertising, and you'll most likely see more wear and tear. It's also more difficult to run with vacancies as the purpose of this type of property is to have it rented for a large portion of the year, which will not be as easy as singing someone to a one-year lease term. [2021] - Shazia Virani

Protect your company and employees from cheap customers-the customers who want more than they pay for, the customers who want something for nothing. I make it a point to fire cheap customers-politely and discreetly. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

"mental rehearsal" is a peak-performance technique used by all top athletes, including sales athletes. Professional salespeople warm up as well by mentally rehearsing so that they can perform at their very best when they get face-to-face with their customer. [2004] - Brian Tracy
