AVOID HECTIC SCHEDULES
Always leave some wiggle room when scheduling work activities. If nothing arises to delay you you’ll have a little extra time for the next task. But if you run into an obstacle, you’ll have some time to deal with it.-Marc Mancini, Time Management PRESCRIPTION FOR CHOCOLATE
The antioxidants in dark chocolate may help reduce your heart-disease risk. A good way to eat chocolate is to pair it with something nutritious. For example, low-fat chocolate milk or chocolate-dipped fruit.-Vitality |

Only two of the 100 kids knew a hazelnut.-Vitality |
