In conversation, it's certainly a good idea to avoid saying "I" too many times. Start as many sentences as you can with "you". [2009] - Leil Lowndes

The planned presentation is twenty times more powerful than the spontaneous presentation. Use three-part presenting. These three parts are the product feature, the product benefit, and then the customer benefit, which is the real reason the customer will buy. [2004] - Brian Tracy

Multiple studies in midlife and older adults indicate that sleep disturbance is the risk for late-onset dementia. Note the 7-hour cutoff for association with the lowest hazard ratio. After 7 hours, more sleep is associated with more risk. Other cardiovascular factors are tied to risk of Alzheimer's and all-cause dementia, including a very high HDL, high LDL, and elevation of systolic blood pressure. A retina image is independently helpful for prediction of high risk. Speech, analyzed with AI methods, can predict Alzheimer's disease within 6 years. People deemed at high risk must undergo further assessment and close surveillance. This includes a conventional brain MRI, or a resting-state functional MRI that can further differentiate risk and predict the disease up to 9 years in advance. [2025] - Eric Topol

Rules for profile photo perfection: 1) Two or three close-ups (a simple smile will work best on less quirky sites); 2) One to two action shots (action shots are great conversation starters); 3) One to two full-length pictures (flaunt what you've got with flattering, form-fitting clothes); 4) Represent the real-time you (avoid uploading photos that are more than two years old); 5) Cropping makes you clickable (e.g. cropping a photo closely to one side of your face will remove symmetry to give the image a more casual look). [2013] - Laurie Davis
