The carrier envelope can present a sales message that does the same job as an ad headline. The job of the envelope is to get the letter opened. Some people put distinctive language on the upper left corner of their carrier envelopes, like "Executive Offices," "President," "Research Department," or "Treasurer." Experiment and find what works best for you. [2000] - Jay Abramham

All moods have a cause. If you change the root cause, then your mood will follow suit. Furthermore, mood is a choice. It may not be a completely free choice, but you can choose which mood you spend the most time in. [2009] - Liz Miller

I'll use the SPDR Gold Trust (the biggest one) as an example of how gold ETFs work. When the buy order is processed, two things happen. First of all, the fund issues 10 shares to cover the investor's purchase. Then the fund uses the purchase money to buy an ounce of gold, which is added to the SPDR Gold Trust hoard in London. This means that outstanding shares rise as the ETF's gold stock grows. The opposite process occurs when a SPDR investor decides to sell. His shares are redeemed, and the fund sells the corresponding amount of gold from its stock. [2009] - James DiGeorgia

You should breathe in this ratio: inhale one count, hold four counts, exhale two counts. If you inhaled for four seconds, you would hold for sixteen and exhale for eight. Stop and take ten deep breaths, in the above ratio, at least three times a day. Start in the abdomen, take a deep breath through your nose while counting to seven (or pick a larger or smaller number based upon your ability). Hold your breath for a count four times that of your inhalation, or twenty-eight. Then exhale slowly through your mouth for a count two times the length of your inhalation, or fourteen. [1989] - Anthony Robbins

If one partner is highly dominant, a marriage will work better if the other partner is significantly more submissive. [2002] - Neil Clark Warren
