The ashtray becomes a part of you

For a smoker the ashtray becomes a companion over the years. Imagine these 20 cigarettes a day for 25 years. Not good in maths? Well that counts up to about 180.000 and let's assume 5 times per cigarette you snip the ash into the ashtray = roughly 900.000. You nearly a millionaire!

So what do you think, keep the ashtray?

                   
                                               

Where are the aliens?

For decades, people search for signals of extraterrestrial civilizations. The Milky Way as we know it so far, has up to 300 billion stars, probably millions of habitable planets, and it is more than 13 billion years old. Quite some facts these are. During this time there were plenty of chances for intelligent aliens to colonize the galaxy. Alone, so far humanity has not heard anything from them.

Friday the 13th

Are you superstitious?
If yes, you better stay in bed today.
But even than, you might need the toilet and slip on the corridor.

Would be nice if 
magic works like this.
But it does't.
Being superstitious has a lot to do with these Fridays the 13th, all these black cats and probably even bent branches in your front garden on a child's birthday.

Forget these things.
How many Fridays the 13th have you survived without any harm so far?
You see?

Magic is more than entertainment. It works.

No time - too much time

What is time? I would say TIME IS GOD. At least the subject of time has remained undiscovered so far, as the one and real God has not been found. If you think differently, do so. That's the only way to start development and progress.

Now we have already (judgment!). February. Not long ago, we had New Year's Eve, 2014. Not long after that, it will be summer, and again ... you know.

So, what is it all about, the time?

An apple a day...

... an apple a day, keeps the doctor away. That's what we say here.

Apples and carrots - very tasty. And healthy too.

It is not all about eating an apple. One reason some people get into misery is that they don't even know what an apple is, how and where it grows, how to eat it, and how good it is for well-being and staying trim and slim. 

On an hour-long walk, I could count about 10 places in my little English coastal town where people have apple trees in their gardens, but these apples never get picked. That indicates a sickness that goes deeper than diabetes, cancer, and heart trouble. It is a disease of the brain.

But it is not all about apples. In Japan, they say... a plum a day, keeps the doctor away...

Say NO sometimes

Sometimes you have to say "NO" to people very close to you, even those who love you. They probably do not like it, but they will respect you for it. On the other hand, they will then respect you even more for a "yes". This way, different people will develop a much stronger and honest relationship towards you.

You'll quickly be unhappy if you always try to make everybody happy. By following this,
you know exactly where you stand with others. And be as you are; always be honest and straightforward. This might be tough in some cases, but in the long term, you gain more.
