POPSTips from Thomas Edison on Living Optimistically Dr. Martin Seligman, the director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Positive Psychology Center, and author of Learned Optimism, has studied optimists and pessimists for 25 years. His research has found: Optimists * Less depression than pessimists * Better results than pessimists in most areas of life * Longer lifespan * Healthier than pessimists * Better than pessimists at work and in school * More friends and better social lives Pessimists * More depression than optimists * Inertia rather than activity in the face of setbacks * Feels bad subjectively–blue, down worried, anxious * Poor physical health * Self-fulfilling; pessimists don’t persist in the face of challenges and thus fail more frequently, even when success is attainable * Even when pessimists turn out to be right, they still feel worse than deluded optimists

POPSTips for Safe Sneezing The new etiquette? I don't believe that the practice is new at all. Haven't we all seen others do it, or have been guilty of doing it ourselves? :?: Sneezing and coughing into your sleeve helps prevent airborne transmission of viruses and bacteria, but there is a certain yuck! factor in having saliva-and-snot-caked sleeves. The good doctor should have mentioned the obvious need to handle infected clothing carefully and wash it thoroughly...and promptly!

POPSHow to Get From a 7 to a 10 What's your 7? Do you want more? Is a 10 even possible? Sometimes you need to step down first to find that next step up. Getting past a 7 is hard. It can take more effort to get past a 7 than it takes to reach a 7 in the first place. Some people would complain that it takes too long to get past a 7. But the truth is that the time is going to pass anyway. Even if it takes 5-10 years, you might as well get yourself to a higher level within that time, since the years are going to pass anyway. Whenever I feel I’ve gotten stuck at a 7, I stop and ask myself: What would a 10 look like?

POPSThe Most Dangerous Medical Mistake As many as 90,000 Americans die each year from medical errors. This is an issue we all need to be screaming about! A doctor I had been going to for 17years nearly let me die while he finished his office appts. He had sent me to the hospital in an emergency, but didn't show up until 7 hrs later to do the surgery! I was 15 minutes from hemorrhaging to death. I don't trust ANY of them!

POPSTop Ten Uses For Vinegar. Some good cheap tips here. I have always used vinegar as a fabric softener, (no, there's no smell once the clothes are dry) and as scale remover. It's a good disinfectant too and it cleans stained aluminium. Put a bit in the water when you're washing windows and bling bling, their sparkling shiny and clean. Good for cutting through the muck on car windscreens too. Uhm... what else? :roll: Oh yeah, it's really, really cheap, non-toxic, pet- and child friendly, environmentally harmless and good for your health too. :) 10 Health Benefits of Vinegar Grandma knew that her old remedies worked even if she couldn't explain to the scientific world. She knew that diluting vinegar in the ear would help infections due to swimmer's ear. Now, the American Academy of Otolaryngology endorses this remedy. There's something to be said about how smart grandma was.
