Slim briefcases say that the owner is only concerned with the bottom line and therefore has more status. Always carry a briefcase to one side, preferably in your left hand, which allows you to shake hands. [2004] - Allan Pease

Most pastes contain dicalcium phosphate dehydrate as an abrasive to clean teeth. Abrasive toothpaste, often used for tartar control, can cause sensitivity and may actually weaken teeth. Some antibacterial ingredients and whitening products may even be classified as co-carcinogens, capable of triggering cancer in cancer-prone patients when used repeatedly over time. I recommend the original Crest Regular Cavity Protection toothpaste with no extras. This paste is sufficiently cleansing without being too abrasive. It contains sodium fluoride to strengthen teeth. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

Eating red meat has multiple downsides. Beyond unhealthy saturated fats, which are associated with increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, red meat also contains L-carnitine, which your gut bacteria metabolize to generate a harmful chemical called trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). TMAO has been implicated in the development of obesity, diabetes, gastrointestinal cancers, and heart disease. The method of cooking red meats, such as grilling, also can generate carcinogenic chemicals like heterocyclic amines, which are found in the char of barbecued meats. [2019] - William W Li

Ask for the sale when the mood is right. The worst possible place is in the prospects' office. Best place is a business breakfast, lunch or dinner. Next best is your office. Next best is a trade show. Ask early, and ask often. [2005] - Jeffrey Gitomer
