While taking a stroll around Deer Lake we saw a number of people enjoying this quiet jewel in the middle of Burnaby. It’s a beautiful place to come an spend an hour in a busy day.

The Four Hour Workweek

I’m always amazed at those that can get things done and still have time to relax and enjoy life. Timothy Ferriss has written a book called the “The 4-Hour Workweek”. This is a book that I am putting on the top of my reading list.

Then comes the “call to action” – implement some of these techniques in my everyday life.

The following is a short interview with Veronica Belmont on Mahalo Daily.

Red Wine Can Prevent Stroke (in Mice)!

A glass or two of red wine can help reduce damage from a stroke (at least in mice)! Reuters reports that mice feed resveratrol, found in red grape skins and seeds, suffered less brain damage than those that did not.

Still not sure if this extends to humans, but Europeans have long enjoyed a glass of wine with a meal.

It’s No Fun If Your Dead

The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) has launched its spring Road Safety & Loss Prevention campaign aimed directly at high school students. Using dark humor, www.nofunbeingdead.com talks directly to youth about the consequences of drinking and driving. With grad parties and warmer weather, our teens are put into situations that demand they make choices. The site includes audio segments from “Ask Death Radio Show”.

Support your teen and let them know about this website and that “It’s No Fun if Your Dead”.

There are prizes for youth who are residents of British Columbia.
