HOW PEOPLE BECOME FAMOUS?
There was a man played piano in a bar. He was a good piano player. People came out just to hear him play. But one night, a patron told him he didn't want to hear him just play anymore. He wanted him to sing a song.
The man said, I don't sing.
But the customer was persistent. He told the bartender, I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want that guy to sing!
The bartender shouted across the room, Hey buddy! If you want to get paid, sing a song. The patrons are asking you to sing!
So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the very first time. And nobody had ever heard the song Mona, Mona Lisa sung the way it was sung that night by Nat King Cole!
He had talent he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar, but because he had to sing, he went on to become one of the best-known entertainers in America.
You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel as if your talent is particularly great, but it may be better than you think! And with persistence, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may as well have no ability at all if you sit on whatever talent you possess!
The better question is not - What ability do I have that is useful? It is rather How will I use whatever ability I have?

MOUTHWASH - TAKE CARE!
Food for thought to those that uses lot of mouthwashes with high alcohol content.
The likes of Listerine and other mouthwashes are unregulated and are readily available from the shops and supermarkets here and in Asia. Statistically, it is only a 50% chance of survival for oral cancer sufferers.
The old remedy of salt water is still the safest for sore throats unless you have high blood pressure.
As a foot-note to my fellow drinkers, does this means that alcohol is also a "no-no". You bet!!! I can do you a favour. Just pass your bottles of XO and Johnny Blue Label on to me for disposal. Tongue in cheek, of course.
Experts warn over mouthwash cancer risk.
Health experts have warned that mouthwashes containing alcohol can cause cancer and should be removed from supermarket shelves.
News Ltd says leading independent experts issued the warning after investigating the latest scientific evidence linking alcohol-containing mouthwashes to the deadly disease.
Their review, published in the Dental Journal of Australia, concludes there is now "sufficient evidence" that "alcohol-containing mouthwashes contribute to the increased risk of development of oral cancer".
The ethanol in mouthwash is thought to allow cancer-causing substances to permeate the lining of the mouth more easily and cause harm. Acetaldehyde, a toxic by-product of alcohol that may accumulate in the oral cavity when swished around the mouth, is also believed to be carcinogenic.
Mouthwash is one of the fastest-growing grocery products in Australia, with the category now worth more than $75 million, according to latest Nielsen market research.
Lead review author Professor Michael McCullough, associate professor of oral medicine at the University of Melbourne, told News Ltd that alcohol-containing mouthwash should be reclassified as prescription-only and carry written health warnings.

DANGERS OF BOTTLED WATER - by Tiffany Blue
Many people buy bottled water, especially when the weather is heating up, it is important to have water. With reports that refilling/reusing the same bottle repeatedly, if not washed properly, can make you sick. Leading people to buy a new bottled water every time instead, thinking that they are doing something good for their bodies.
Researchers have now examined the plastic the holds the water, and the have found some chemicals certain types of plastic contain, like phthalates and bisphenol A, may seep into the water. These toxins can disrupt the endocrine system, messing with your hormone balance. This can cause fatigue and even weight gain. Defeating the purpose of your workout/playing outside/ etc... heck it defeats the whole idea of drinking water to be healthy.
You can avoid a toxin overdose, a good place to start in by educate yourself on the plastic holding your water. You can find out what kind of plastic the bottle is by looking at the bottom of your bottle, there should be a resin code. This tells you what kind it is.
Here is a quick rundown on the most commonly used and safest kind of plastics.
PET (or PETE) 1: Polyethylene terephthalate, Is the kind of plastic that is most likely what your clear single-serve water bottle is made of. It has been deemed safe for one-time use, but refilling may increase risk of chemicals leaching out into the water. Not recommended for re-use/re-filling.
HDPE 2: High-density polyethylene, this plastic is commonly used for gallon jugs, and has not been linked to any leaching.
PP5: Polypropylene, is a plastic that is easily molded. Meaning it is made with fewer chemicals than other plastics, and has not been linked to leaching.
Plastics you should avoid:
#3 polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), it has endocrine disruptors and probable human carcinogens.
#6 polystyrene (PS) can leach styrene into food and water.
#7 polycarbonate, contains a bisphenol-A (a hormone disruptor). However, it is used in most baby bottles, five-gallon water jugs and reusable sports bottles.
