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

Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Parsley and Your Prostate

You might think of it as strictly garnish, but research shows that parsley may deserve higher billing on your plate. This little green edible is rich in apigenin, a type of flavonoid that appears to help put prostate cancer cells into slow-growth mode in lab studies. So pull that parsley off the edge of your platter and give it a nibble.

Keep Your Brain Razor Sharp

When it comes to memory and concentration, it may pay to practice waist control. Packing on extra pounds can slow not only your time in the 50-yard dash but also your ability to remember things and stay focused.

Financial Planning

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.

He discovered that he was going to inherit a fortune when his terminally-ill father passed away. So he decided he needed a wife to share his fortune with.

One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Her natural beauty took his breath away.

"I may look like just an ordinary man," he said to her, "but my father is terminally ill, and I'll inherit $65 million."

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at financial planning than men!
