All would love to have them – chocolate covered strawberries

August 12th, 2009

Once we complete our studies, the next on the agenda will be to look for a suitable job.  Landing a job does not happen easily, but if a person tries sincerely, finding a job is not a big problem.  One should be ready to spare some time efforts, and in spite of the recession, one can still find a job befitting his or her potential.  His joy knows no bounds if he manages to get a job at the end of it.

The moment a person gets a job and joins his duty, the first few days will be spent in trying to learn the work and making efforts o know the people around.  Initially, it will be difficult and some colleagues might derive harmless pleasure from teasing and bossing around, but then it is a part of the game and one must be willing to accept them, provided they do not cross the limits of decency.  If the same person, when he receives his first pay packets, if he decides to give sweets in the form of chocolate covered strawberries to all his colleagues, they would just love them, and it is one of the nicest ways to befriend all co-workers too.

Eat Nuts and Fish MNTP215

August 9th, 2009

Eat nuts and fish that contain Omega 3 oils.  Can a diet rich in Omega 3 fatty acids help our vision?  I found and interesting article (exerpt below) that discusses the positive nature of Omega 3 fatty acids when added to the diet of mice.  Now whether one study of mice is enough for us to add more Omega 3 to our diets is questionable.  However, there has been plenty of other research supporting many healthy benefits of Omega 3s.  So go ahead and have that Salmon – it is good for you.


The August 2009 issue of the American Journal of Pathology presents findings from a study conducted by the National Eye Institute in Bethesda, MD that examined the direct effect of omega-3 fatty acids on the prevention of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The scientists found that mice fed a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids had slower progression of the leisons in the eye and some improvement. They also found that the mice had lower levels of inflammatory molecules and higher levels of anti-inflammatory molecules, which they suggest may explain their findings.
