84 percent of vegetarian quit the diet usually with in a year

The Sad Reality of Athletes Going Vegan and Getting Injured

A study came out last year that was paid for by the US Humane Research Council, (animal rights nuts) and they found that 84 percent of the morons that decide to go vegan or vegetarian quit the diet usually with in a year. This is because their bodies simply can’t handle it. Actress Anne Hathaway explained to People Magazine what it was like to have meat after going years without it, “So I had a piece of salmon and my brain felt like a computer rebooting…I just didn’t feel good or healthy,” she said in November, adding that she was ‘not strong.’ And after the salmon in Iceland, she ‘just felt better.”

We're told that (1) no gold medals in sport for those eating high-fat diets and (2) we should do exactly what the gold medal winners do. Well, this is what South African Tete Dijana, one of world's very best ultramarathon runners, ate the night before he destroyed the field in the 2022 90km . In the 88km 2023 Tete Dijana again won the gold medal, also breaking the course record by more than 4 minutes. Wonder when the rest of the Comrades Marathon field will consider following his example?

When you relinquish the desire to control your future

So, understand your situation from a greater perspective. Don't think that what s happening to you is unfair or unjustified; what is happening to you at all the times is just what should be happening.

The only problem in the world

 If there is a problem call the government


It's not tyranny we desire; it's a just, limited, federal government.

I don't watch the news

 

IIf people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.

Thomas Sowell


As anchorman of the CBS Evening News, I signed off my nightly broadcasts for nearly two decades with a simple statement: 'And that's the way it is.' To me, that encapsulates the newsman's highest ideal: to report the facts as he sees them, without regard for the consequences or controversy that may ensue.

Warren Buffet says if you went to a parade and the band started coming down the street and all of a sudden you stood up on tiptoe. In another 30 seconds everybody else is on tiptoe, and it would be hell in your legs and you still wouldn't be seeing any better.

A business that need talent is not a great business
A restaurant that needs a chef is not a great business
An investment bank that has to pay big bonuses to bankers in not a great business
Tech has to pay a lot of options & money to software engineers it can't be a great business

What the wise do in the beginning

I believe to buy the winners the ones everybody knows are the nº1 also works. Buffet bought Apple in 2015 . It's working. however if you buy the nº1 in a cyclical business it's another story

Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.

Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.

William James


Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.


Isn't it fascinating how our body and mind are so connected? Letting go of negativity not only brings inner peace but also strengthens our immunity.


“Optimists think badly, but live well.”
― Marty Rubin


Optimism is the madness of insisting that all is well when we are miserable.

Voltaire



Harvard psychologist Laura Kubzansky has chosen to study optimism. In a large study she tracked 1,300 men for 10 years and found that heart-disease rates among men who called themselves optimistic were half the rates for men who didn't. The differences between the two groups was as dramatic as that seen between smokers and non smokers.
