Quotes of the Day

Notwithstanding market conditions, always start with a lower offer, say, 75 percent of the asking price. If the broker doesn't want to present your low offer, find another one who will. If there are multiple offers for the condo unit you're interested in, don't let your broker get you into a bidding war. Walk away and consider another unit. [2013] - Dan S. Barnabic

You will always love the person most who helps us feel best about ourselves. You want to find someone who shines when you are together. [2002] - Neil Clark Warren

Consider carefully that some dentists do not believe that cavities or gum disease are preventable or reversible. You should also remain aware that there is another available treatment that flow a thin plastic sealant material into the open porosities of a cavity. This is not a good solution, since it can act as a kind of plaque magnet to attract decay in this area of the mouth. A small cavity in a permanent adult tooth can naturally reverse in a few months, which is why any motivated patient should weigh the risks of sealants and "small" fillings, and consider carefully that any treatment will be irreversible, especially if you allow a tooth to be randomly drilled. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

Making Great First Impressions: Always stand in a reception area - never sit. Stand with Hand-in-Hand behind your back (confidence) and slowly rock back and forth on your feet (confident, controlled) or use the Steeple gesture (but never do this at the Tax Office). Put down your briefcase, folder or whatever is in your hands, shake the person's hand and immediately take a seat. Never shake directly across a desk. Use a person's name twice in the first 15 seconds and never talk for more than 30 seconds at a time. If the door was closed when you entered, close it behind you as you leave. If you're a man, make sure you have shined the back of your shoes. [2004] - Allan Pease
