A grain of salt…
2009-03-02 10:51:08 AM

That old expression, “Take it with a grain of salt” counsels the listener to be a bit skeptical about what they are hearing. And that’s actually a good approach when it comes to the use of salt itself. A little is a good thing – too much is not.
Unfortunately, in our heavily processed diets, sodium is ever present. If you check the labels, you may be surprised at how much is there. Salt can definitely make your food taste better. And have you noticed how addictive fast foods seem? That’s because they’re loaded with salt. But like fats, a little bit of salt goes a long way.

Who me, exercise?!

For most of us, exercise is a chore and an often neglected activity. With work, family, and social commitments, it can be difficult if not impossible to schedule regular workouts. How many gym memberships have you bought with a spirit of enthusiasm and commitment only to find the unused card in your wallet months later, accompanied by a feeling of guilt at the money and opportunity wasted?

Resolved … but no resolutions…
2009-02-17 04:14:47 PM

Remember how full of determination you were to make changes in 2009? Perhaps to exercise more, eat better, lose a few pounds (certainly get rid of the weight that inevitably seems to follow holiday festivities?), find a new job or better manage work stress? Now that we’re one month into the new year, how are all those resolutions working for you?

Closing the generation gap
2009-02-10 04:55:38 PM

The term “generation gap”, so popular in the sixties, may sound dated, but in fact some things never change. The perceived difference between older and younger generations is a constant from antiquity to present times. The young chafe against the restrictions of their elders, who throw up their hands and insist they were better behaved, more polite (and listened to better music).

Slow down culture - from an unknown author
2008-05-14 04:49:37 PM

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.
Globalized processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to posses a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.
