I am more than ready to pay for quality if I know that the item will ...

Everyone needs some winding down and relaxing at times. It is not always easy to read the signs of your body and mind and actually stop for a moment and take your time. However, it is good to wind down before you really burn down. There are several ways of recharging your batteries and getting the needed reboot.

First, and unfortunately the most expensive one, is to go on a holiday. Scientists say that it takes two weeks for a human being to forget about work and start to enjoy the present. ...

There has been a lot of talk about stress, especially work related stress. I never felt that it was something that I should concern myself with; I was working, doing things, coordinating, keeping everything running smoothly.
