Quotes of the Day

Making Great First Impressions: Always stand in a reception area - never sit. Stand with Hand-in-Hand behind your back (confidence) and slowly rock back and forth on your feet (confident, controlled) or use the Steeple gesture (but never do this at the Tax Office). Put down your briefcase, folder or whatever is in your hands, shake the person's hand and immediately take a seat. Never shake directly across a desk. Use a person's name twice in the first 15 seconds and never talk for more than 30 seconds at a time. If the door was closed when you entered, close it behind you as you leave. If you're a man, make sure you have shined the back of your shoes. [2004] - Allan Pease

Perhaps the most helpful mental habit you can develop is the habit of optimism. [2004] - Brian Tracy

Where HIIT intervals are very short, typically measured in seconds, VO₂ max intervals are a bit longer, ranging from 3 to 8 minutes-and a notch less intense. I do these workouts on my road bike, mounted to a stationary trainer, or on a rowing machine, but running on a treadmill (or a track) could also work. The tried-and true formula for these intervals is to go 4 minutes at the maximum pace you can sustain for this amount of time-not an all-out sprint, but still a very hard effort. Then ride or jog 4 minutes easy, which should be enough time for your heart rate to come back down to below about 100 beats per minute. Repeat this 4-6 times and cool down. [2023] - Peter Attia

When you invest in real estate, it's not a matter of "if" you get sued but "when." A good lawyer will help make sure your lease and other forms are legally binding, as well as guide you on (and prepare) the best legal entity for holding your properties. Having an attorney who either invests in real estate themselves or specializes in this kind of work is best. Attorney rates typically start at $200 per hour and can climb as high as $600 an hour, depending on experience and what they are doing for you. You will not likely be using your attorney for dozens of hours of work--usually just 15 minutes here, 30 minutes there, and so on. [2015] - Brandon Turner

Dream sleep typically begins approximately 90 minutes after an individual falls asleep, commonly after a brief stay in light sleep and a cycle of deep sleep. Individuals usually spend about one quarter of their night in REM sleep. REM sleep comes in 20-40 minute cycles, usually about 4-5 times a night. The cycles typically become longer in duration as the night progresses to the longer cycles occur during the second half of the night. The longest cycle usually terminates around the time an individual awakens in the morning. [2017] - W. Chris Winter
