Thought for the Day
******************

A crank is a man with a new idea - until it catches on.

         Mark Twain

Health Notes
************

Eat a Mediterranean Diet

Eat more like a Greek -- that is, simply enjoying more fish, fruits, veggies, whole grains, and legumes than most North Americans usually do -- may be as good for your brain as it is for your heart. In fact, new research shows it could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's by up to 40 percent.

Colds Hate Positive People

That's the word from researchers who tested the emotional outlook and immune-system capabilities of a group of adults. Cold viruses had a harder time taking hold in the people who had mostly positive things to say. Positive thoughts not only help you steer clear of colds but also might make your colds milder if you do get sick.

Feature Article
*************

This month, we are doing something different.

In early October, 2007, Lynn Thompson, Nanaimo, British Columbia radio host of Living on Purpose, interviewed me, Roger Ellerton, about my book Live Your Dreams Let Reality Catch Up: NLP and Common Sense for Coaches, Managers and You.

Lynn's skillful interviewing provides a great audio introduction to NLP. The interview is about 35 minutes in length.

If you know people who are interested in learning more about NLP and they never seem to have time to read the material you provide, this audio file provides an opportunity for them to hear about NLP while they walk, jog or drive their car.

Advertisers

One of life's disappointments is discovering that the person who writes the bank's ads is not the one who makes the loans.
