Most of the good stuff requires taking a risk. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." [2005] - Jack Canfield

The next time you go to the beach, consider drinking a shot of tomato, watermelon, pink grapefruit, or guava juice before heading out. It will protect you against sun damage. The red-orange color of these fruits comes from lycopene, which, among other benefits you’ve seen in earlier chapters, protects DNA from the ionizing radiation damage from the sun. Also think about having a shot of tomato or watermelon juice before going to the dentist, who may take an X-ray of your teeth, or before getting on an airplane, where a dose of radiation during the flight will be unavoidable. Lycopene is also protective against DNA damage caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. [2019] - William W Li

There are a number of ways that the equity you build in your principal residence can serve either to create an income stream or to provide access to an amount of capital. In either option, the receipts are free from taxation. You're not taxed when you take out a loan, and that's really what you're doing, whether in the form of a reverse mortgage or a line of credit against the equity of your home. While you may not be required to repay what has been borrowed as long as you live in the home, that payment will be due if you sell your home. In my opinion, this step should be taken only after other income-generating avenues have been explored, and then only as an action that's necessary to provide additional cash flow. I would certainly suggest that you wait until you're in your early seventies before considering this. [2019] - Daryl Diamond

It's better to be trusted than to be liked. Ultimately, trust and respect will generally produce love. [2004] - Stephen R. Covey
