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?!

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.
