“Never Drinking Again”

Yes, it’s a pint of Guiness, alright.

But the beer is 0.0 alcohol and it’s called, “Never Drinking Again.”

Ireland has experienced a 34% drop in alcohol consumption in the last two decades.

For people in Dublin, losing the booze is still part of a night out.

And it’s mostly young people going alcohol-free.

More people feel like they can go out and have fun and not get drunk.

It’s progress.

I GUESS!

Listen To An Expert About The Unique Benefits Of Walking!!

Walking is often dismissed as “just cardio” or something you do to reach your step count or get some fresh air.

But walking acts as far more than a calorie-burning activity.

It’s one of your body’s most fundamental movement patterns.

How you walk affects pelvic alignment, core stability, hip mobility, balance, breathing and even how your nervous system regulates tension.

In many ways, walking provides the basis for building and expressing strength.

Think of walking as the daily foundational practice that sets the stage for how powerfully you can move in the gym and everyday life. (Dana Santa, Certified conditioning, mobility & mindbody coach.)

Preparing For An AI World?

That’s a tough question.

You may already have certain attributes that you can use to suceed in an AI world.

On the other hand, your skills may easily be replaced by AI.

You have to do one of two things:

  1. JOINING AI- Evaluate your existing skills that will be needed in an AI world?

2. AVOIDING THE AI WORLD- with existing skills you already have and know you can use.

One thing you cannot do is sit by as a spectator.

Now is the time to act. You must get prepared one way or the other.

AI is here to stay. You have to decide how you will fit in and take action to do so.

How Well Do You Manage Your Health?

Let me suggest 4 things you can focus on to maintain good health throughout your life!

DIET-EXERCISE-SLEEP-STRESS MGMT.

DIET-You know what you should and shouldn’t eat. And you know the quantities. The question is, “What value do you put on your health?”

EXERCISE- When I mention the word exercise, most people envision punishing their body and giving up after a few sessions. The best exercise is simply walking. Even on cold, snowy days, you can find an indoors place that suits your needs.

SLEEP-If you commit yourself to walking, you’ll be physically tired and fall asleep naturally.

STRESS MGMT.-If you’re stressed about something you can fix, FIX IT! If you’re stressed about something you can’t fix, pray on it!

If not today, when?

Fast Rising Diesel Prices Will Affect All Of Us!

American drivers notice soaring gas prices. But another fuel – diesel – is also on the rise, and at a much faster pace.

While you’ve likely never bought a gallon of diesel, it’s still worth worrying about.

That’s because much of the world’s economy comes on trucks, from consumer goods to the food you eat.

Since the fighting started in Iran a week ago, gasoline prices are up 47 cents, but that’s nothing compared to the 84 cent increase in diesel fuel. (CNN)

Chinese Women Prefer AI Chatbots To Men For Dates!

The population in China is shrinking and the government wants more babies.

A growing number of young women, however, don’t want to have a baby.

And they don’t want to date a man either. They prefer dating An AI Chatbot instead.

They are using a customized version of “Jailbreak” known as Dan for romance.

They prefer Dan to escape the disappointments of real-world dating.

These virtual boyfriends offer 24/7 emotional support w/o human imperfections. (BBC)

Contentment?

Contentment is an all-encompassing word.

Let me suggest that it has four components: Gratitude, No Envy, Honesty, Humility.

I always say I’m living in the GRATITUDE time of my life because I am grateful for my blessings.

ENVY is the road to unhappiness. We must celebrate the achievements of others without envying them.

HONESTY is in short supply these days. We must measure ourselves by how honest we are in all aspects of our lives.

HUMILITY is a trait of many successful people and is essential for contentment. The most successful person I ever knew practiced humility.

Rich?

Is the person who owns this mansion RICH?

Have you ever heard the name J. Paul Getty?

He was declared The World’s Richest Man in1966 by The Guiness Book of Records.

He was such a miser that he had a payphone installed at his estate.

This was done to prevent the employees from making free calls to distant relatives.

He was married and divorced 5 times.

His grandson, J. Paul Getty lll, was kidnapped and held for a $17 million ransom.

The elder Getty told the kidnappers he wouldn’t pay because he had 14 other grand children.

Eventually, he paid $2.2 million because it was tax deductible.

Many rich people spend the majority of their time worrying about their money.

Does being rich equate to happiness?

You decide.

Lou Holtz Dies At 89!

He was one of a kind.

Since my dad was a professor at ND for 21 years, I was all in for the Fighting Irish.

Here is my favorite Lou Holtz story.

ND was playing Southern Cal for the national championship in the Rose Bowl.

Of course, Lou set a curfew for the players the night before the game.

Two of his best players broke curfew and returned to their room very late.

Lou was waiting for them.

He told them to pack their bags because they were going to the airport for a flight back to South Bend.

When the rest of the team woke up on game day, the two best players were gone.

The team was very upset, but Lou told them, “Rules are rules!”

They went on to win that day!

And those players learned a lesson they never forgot!
