jallen — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 17:23:46 +0000

For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Nap your way to success…

Want to Get Motivated? Get Napping!
Getting motivated to improve anything about your life takes both mental focus and physical energy, two things you can’t possibly have when you’re mind and body of tired from a lack of sleep.

According to sleep experts, we need between seven to nine hours of sleep per night, but the average American gets just six and a half! Without your required hours logged in each night, you don’t have a chance at stirring up the energy or focus you need to do the things you’ve always wanted to do. The solution? Napping!

Taking a nap provides many of the same benefits as a full-night’s rest. Along with feeling refreshed and alert, studies have shown that napping can actually increase learning effectiveness by 50% and improve complex motor and precision skill ability. Add to that the fact that napping leads to higher levels of creativity and you’ve got yourself a proven secret to success – the nap!

Bill Gates Vs. Michael Jordan

jallen — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 01:11:45 +0000

Is It Better To Be A Jock Or A Nerd?

The answer to the eternal question “Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?”:
Michael Jordan made over $300,000 a game. That equals $10,000 a minute, at an average of 30 minutes per game.

With $40 million in endorsements, he made $178,100 a day, working or not.

If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while visions of sugarplums dance in his head.

If he goes to see a movie, it’ll cost him $9.50, but he’ll make $18,550 while he’s there.

If he decides to have a 5 minute egg, he’ll make $618 while boiling it.

He makes $7,415/hr more than minimum wage.

He’d make $3,710 while watching each episode of Friends.

If he wanted to save up for a new Acura SLX (about $90,000) it would take him a whole 12 hours.

If someone were to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would have to do it at the rate of $2.00 every second.

He’d probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed around $30,000 during that round.

Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into a tax deferred account (401k), he will hit the federal cap of $9500 at 8:30 a.m. on January 1st.

If you were given a penny for every 10 dollars he made, you’d be living comfortably at $65,000 a year.

He’d make about $19.60 while watching the 100 meter dash in the Olympics.

He’d make about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.

While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant, he’d pull in about $5600.

In his last year, he made more than twice as much as all U.S. past presidents for all of their terms combined.

… However…

… If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 250 years, he’ll still have less than Bill Gates has today.

Game over. Nerd wins.
