Quotes of the Day

You must always eat fruit on an empty stomach. An excellent habit to develop is to eat no food other than fruit after 9:00 P.M. The best kind of fruit is fresh fruit or freshly squeezed fruit juice. You don't want to drink juice right out of a can or glass container. [1989] - Anthony Robbins

Avoid big fish at the top of the marine food chain--tuna, swordfish, shark--because they're endangered, and because they often contain high levels of mercury. Fortunately, a few of the most nutritious wild fish species, including mackerel, sardines, and anchovies, are relatively well managed, and in some cases are even abundant. Those oily little fish are particularly good choices. [2011] - Michael Pollan

International health insurance: These plans cover you anyplace in the world. Some companies also offer a semi-global option, excluding certain high-priced countries in exchange for a lower premium. Premiums vary, but for a healthy, 60-ish individual, expect to pay roughly $3,000 to $5,000 a year. National, in-country health insurance: These plans provide in-depth coverage in a given country. Ask whether the plan includes a travel-insurance component to cover health emergencies when visiting other countries. Premiums in Latin America generally run 10 to 35 percent less than international plans, while in Asia they can cost $1,000 a year or less. Hospital membership plans: Top hospitals in some countries—notably Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, and Uruguay—offer membership plans that provide steep discounts on services at their facilities, including hospital stays, doctors’ visits, and prescriptions. Monthly fees generally run $25 to $75 per month per person. [2014] - Dan Prescher

As entrepreneurs we raise capital from three groups of people. They are your customers, investors, and employees. If you have employees, your job is to get them to produce and make at least ten times more money than you pay them. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

While housing construction is a key driver, it tends to lag behind any increased demand for housing due to the significant lead time required to build, especially in larger centers where condominium buildings make up the majority of starts. This lag usually results in an eventual oversupply that persists long after the demand for housing dissipates. Therefore, construction levels tend to peak at the end of the boom phase and through at the middle to end of the slump phase. [2011] - Don R. Campbell
