Used unconsciously and automatically, "but" can be one of the most destructive words in our language. Simply substitute the word "and" instead. [1989] - Anthony Robbins

Fibonacci ratios are also useful in predicting how far a market will extend its current trend. This is done by taking the difference between the high and the low of the major move; multiplying it by 1.382 percent, 1.5 percent, and 1.618 percent; and adding it to the low in an up move or subtracting it from the high in a down move. [2003] - Marcel Link

If you chop the broccoli (or brussels sprouts, kale, collards, cauliflower, or any other cruciferous vegetable) and then wait 40 minutes, you can cook it as much as you want. At that point, the sulforaphane has already been made. (You can also buy bags of fresh greens and other crucifers that are prechopped or shredded, which can presumably be cooked immediately). If you don't have 40 minutes to spare between chopping and cooking, or if you're using frozen greens, just sprinkle the crucifers with some mustard powder before you eat them. The addition of powdered mustard seeds to cooked broccoli significantly increases sulforaphane formation. [2005] - Adam Ginsberg

"Meeting the 2% rule (the 2% test)" means that a property's monthly rental income must equal 2% of the purchase price or greater. The value 2% could easily be replaced with another number to test that as well. For example, many people look for "the 1% rule (test)." You might hear people talk about the .5% rule (test), the 1.5% rule (test), the 3% rule (test). In my local real estate market, I know that if I can find a property that gets close to 2%, it's probably going to cash flow well. Yours might be different. Maybe you'll discover that 1% is plenty to get you enough cash flow to create a solid return on investment. [2015] - Brandon Turner

You can make one or two compliments about her appearance per meeting (e.g., You look great in that outfit), but that's all. Any more than that and you will be seen as pandering. [2012] - Christopher Gray
