擺脫緊張壓力 七種方法五分鐘見效

精神緊張、壓力增加是現代人的通病，不過，專家說，人們只要每天花個十分鐘，設法放鬆自己，就能擺脫緊張狀態。俄羅斯「讀者文摘」報導說，有七種方法可以選擇其中一項，每天花5到10分鐘，就能達到預期效果。

(1) 靜坐休息。靜坐時，心跳會放慢、血壓會下降，精神緊張的症狀會明顯改善。

(2) 放聲大笑。大笑時，體內引起緊張的激素會下降，免疫力相對增強。

(3) 欣賞音樂。可讓血壓和脈搏都很穩定。

(4) 多想好事。負面情緒減少，就能減少精神負擔。

(5) 走路散步。散步有助於人們平靜下來。

(6) 放慢呼吸。以5分鐘時間，5秒鐘吸氣，5秒鐘呼氣，就能放鬆肌肉。

(7) 輕鬆起床。鬧鐘響後躺在床上5分鐘，從腳趾、腳掌、小腿、大腿、臀部，直到上身、臉部肌肉，先繃緊再漸漸放鬆，就能有很好的放鬆效果。

Before we could change the world, learn these…

I happen to listen to Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People recently. It is a self-help book first published in 1936, eventually selling 15 million copies. According to Carnegie, financial success is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to “the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people.” He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. The book has four major sections and the fundamental principles of each of it are listed below:

Fundamental Techniques in Handling People:

“Don’t criticize, condemn or complain.”

“Give people a feeling of importance; praise the good parts of them.”

“Get the other person to want to do what you want them to by arousing their desires.”

6 Ways to Make People Like You:

“Become genuinely interested in other people.”

“Smile.”

“Remember that a man’s name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language.”

“Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.”

“Talk in the terms of the other man’s interest.”

“Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely.”

12 Ways to Win People to Your Way of Thinking:

“Avoid arguments.”

“Show respect for the other person’s opinions. Never tell someone they are wrong.”

“If you’re wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.”

“Begin in a friendly way.”

“Start with questions the other person will answer yes to.”

“Let the other person do the talking.”

“Let the other person feel the idea is his/hers.”

“Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view.”

“Sympathize with the other person.”

“Appeal to noble motives.”

“Dramatize your ideas.”

“Throw down a challenge.”

9 Ways to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment:

“Begin with praise and honest appreciation.”

“Call attention to other people’s mistakes indirectly.”

“Talk about your own mistakes first.”

“Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.”

“Let the other person save face.”

“Praise every improvement.”

“Give them a fine reputation to live up to.”

“Encourage them by making their faults seem easy to correct.”

“Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest.”

POTATOES

An old man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his potato garden but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His only son Fred, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Fred,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love,
Dad

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad,
For heaven’s sake, don’t dig up that garden! That’s where I buried the BODIES!
Love,
Fred

At 4am the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love,
Fred

Strangely, whitehouse.gov does provide us with robots.txt

We all tend to protect ourselves. There are something in our lives that we do not want to be exposed to the public and that sorts of thing should be something highly important to us. Well, as you may not well-informed about this, web servers do behave in this way too.

Allow me to introduce to you about Robots.txt. It is a text file present in the root directory of a site to keep web pages from being indexed by search engines. In an intelligible manner, it restricts robots’ access to certain web pages or sub directories of the web site, however only robots following the Robots Exclusion Standard will read and obey the commands written in this file. It instructs robots what they can and cannot do. For instance, you may tell all robots not to view the contents of your images directories.
ps: just in case you do not know what a robot is. A robot is an automated program that runs at many search engines, reads sites’ content, analyzes it, and inserts them into the index (or collects information for later insertion into the index). It also known as a “crawler” or “spider”.

So you see how important is robots.txt to a web server. You don’t want the search engines to go and tell everyone what is crucial to you, don’t you? However whitehouse.gov doesn’t think so. At this point you can see how the chief executive department of the United States government publishes them online. Good one, don’t them?

What could you find when you look for FAILURE in Google?

Ever try a very simple query which is searching for a string “failure” in Google before?

If no is your answer, don’t be shy to give it a try now. Anyway according to what I’ve got is this:

為甚麼心臟不會生癌？

胃、肝、大腸、睪丸都會生癌，但為甚麼沒聽過有心臟癌呢？原因在於心臟以外的細胞都具有增殖機能，即使受了傷，只要過一段時間就能痊癒，這是因為細胞增殖 使傷口癒合，然而心臟的細胞並不會增殖。癌細胞會持續增殖，接著破壞周圍的組織，就是因為心臟細胞不會增殖的關係，所以癌細胞是無法侵襲心臟。

燙傷後的水泡究竟是甚麼？

燙傷之後，必然會出現水泡，破掉之後更會流出液體來，為甚麼無緣無故皮膚會出現液體呢？燙傷是因為高熱而使皮膚和細胞呈現發炎狀態，細胞被破壞、體液滲透 進皮膚，皮膚外側由表皮所覆蓋，表皮之下為真皮，當體液停留在表皮和真皮中間時，便會起水泡。水泡裡的水，正確來說是細胞被破壞後所流出的體液，包括血 漿、淋巴、組織，加上蛋白質、脂肪、無機鹽、氨基酸等等合成的液體。

猴子有沒有同性戀？

不要以為只有人類才有同性戀，其實猴子的世界裡也有同性戀，不少猴子會有親匿的行為，互相摩擦性器官，直至產生高潮為止，不過人類的同性戀是有感情存在， 但猴子的同性戀就完全沒有感情因素，因為猴子的腦容量只是人類五分之一，無法思考同性之間複雜的感情，同性戀也只是為了尋求快感，單純享受愛撫和性行為而 已！

正確刷牙比用力刷牙重要

一名二十四歲的男子半年前因矯正牙齒就醫，意外發現下排牙齒靠近牙齦處嚴重呈現Ｖ型凹陷，上排牙齦也嚴重萎縮，牙齒更是嚴重敏感狀態；牙醫師發現，原來患者每次都用力刷牙所造成，提醒民眾用正確方法刷牙比刷牙力道及次數多寡更重要。

這名患者半年前接受牙齒矯正時，意外發現下排牙齒已經嚴重呈現Ｖ型凹陷，上排牙齦也已明顯萎縮；原來患者從小就採取橫向、用力的刷牙習慣，再加上使用了刷毛太硬的牙刷，導致牙齒嚴重磨耗、牙本質小管暴露在外，而牙齒在接觸到外界溫度變化時，便會異常酸痛。

不當的刷牙方式是造成牙齒敏感最主要的原因之一，大部分的人刷牙時若遇到酸痛區域，因為怕痛，往往只有輕刷兩三下或略過；長期下來，忽略了酸痛區域的清潔，輕則導致淺層蛀牙或牙齦發炎，重則可能造成深部的蛀牙或嚴重牙周疾病，甚至最後必須將牙齒拔除。使用正確的刷牙方式，刷毛與牙面成四十五度到六十度，涵蓋一點點牙齦，兩顆兩顆來回的振動刷；並選擇刷頭小、軟硬適中的刷毛，甚至於在敏感牙齒部位使用軟 毛牙刷才不會傷害牙齒與牙齦。對於已經磨損的部分，一定要立即的填補，否則凹陷的部分，不僅不易清潔，更會加重其敏感的程度。
