人生における成功者の定義と条件

Have you read this book? I've not but I came across an article on it. It's true that it means different things to different people at different age. But all in all, they all fall into one of the categories:

★ Special skills or abilities to generate enough income -- sense of fulfillment + $
--> read more, take more work related training, get promoted and make more money

★ Have people you can trust around you -- successful human relationships
--> don't fight with your family, close friends or colleagues, even strangers. Try to all get along and always be helpful

★ Sound Body & Mind -- health
--> hit the gym, eat right, go for walks, meditate, travel & relax

And all these lead to happiness which translates to a successful life!

Yeah, you can say it's nothing special but we don't always remember, do we? So if you are working on any or all of these everyday, you are actually building yourself to be successful.

Color Cubes

These days, at least in California, if you feeding your kid with jars from the store shelves, you will be looked upon as a lazy, unfit mom. The right thing to do is to prepare everything organic from scratch and freeze it in cubes like the above picture. You will also need to know which food and veggies to hold off on (e.g. Spinach and Carrots as they are considered high in nitrates and egg yolk first and egg white much later, no cow's milk until much much later. Honey, wheat, nuts can all be allergens harmful to babies) and which food to introduce first and not exceeding by how much. Who knew? Everything our parents did to us will be completely wrong and unacceptable if you talk to any pediatricians these days. But we all grew up fine, didn't we? While I will try to do my best to prepare everything fresh and nutritious to my baby, I will still continue to mix in jars of baby food - without shame!

Got Milk?

"No, got something other than milk?"
