The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.

Learning is about more than acquiring new knowledge. It is also crucial to unlearn old knowledge that has outlived its relevance. Forgetting can be as important as learning.

It is difficult to know what counts in the world. Most of us count credits, honors, dollars. But at the bulging center of mid-life, I am beginning to see that the things that really matter take place not in the boardrooms, but in the kitchens of the world.

A great attitude does more than turn on the lights in our worlds. It seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

A farmer went to the attorney's office and said he wanted to get a divorce. The attorney asked if he had any grounds.
"Yeah, I got about 240 acres," the farmer said. The attorney replied, "But, I mean do you have a case?"
"No, I have a John Deere."
"Well, do you have a grudge?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I got a grudge. That's where I park my John Deere."
"No, I mean do you have a suit?"
"Yes, sir, I got a suit. I wear it to church on Sundays."
Next, the exasperated lawyer asked, "Well, sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?"
"No, we both get up about 4:30."
The attorney finally asked, "OK, so why do you want a divorce?"
"Well," said the farmer, "I can't have a meaningful conversation with her!"

Anita Lesco was a veteran nurse anesthetist, but nothing in her years of experience prepared her for the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic. She did her best to ignore her fear of becoming seriously ill herself and kept coming to work each day. But as Lesco told AARP Magazine, she couldn't keep the anxiety bottled up forever, and in March 2022, she experienced the first panic attack of her life. It wouldn't be the last.
Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear and physical symptoms that can make the sufferer feel as if they're dying. According to the Cleveland Clinic, most people experience them at least once or twice during their lifetimes, and they occur regularly for some. They're an extreme example of the physical toll that stress can exact on us. These symptoms are almost always treatable, but can be difficult to recognize as stress related.
*Headaches. According to Henry Ford Health, stress is a major trigger for tension and migraine headaches.
*Lower back pain. Dr. Lynn Dado of Henry Ford Health comments that most lower back pain isn't a mechanical
problem at all, and often results from stress-related muscle tension.
* Jaw pain. Teeth-grinding to rid ourselves of built-up stress and anxiety is common, and we often don't even realize that we're doing it. In addition to jaw pain and dental problems, it can lead to pain in the neck and shoulders.
*Digestive problems. Stress can ramp up stomach acid production, which can lead to a host of digestive ailments including nausea, heartburn, and diarrhea.
* More frequent illness. Your immune system can also take a hit from excess stress, which leaves you more vulnerable to illness.
The Mayo Clinic encourages people to find active ways to try to manage your stress, like taking walks outside. A balanced diet, healthy sleep habits, and making time for hobbies can also help balance out our stress. If your physical symptoms are severe or fail to resolve with lifestyle changes, see your health care provider to ask about additional treatment options and to be assessed for other underlying causes.
Eating healthy means different things to different people, and the volume of information (and misinformation) available with just a few clicks can make it seem like a hopelessly complicated project. But it really doesn't have to be -- as long as you know where to look.
MyPlate.gov, published by the United States Department of Agriculture, shows how to divide up your plate to create balanced meals with each food group represented. Click on each food group and you'll see more detailed information about nutritional benefits, serving sizes, and what to look for at the grocery store.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (eatright.org) provides evidencebased information about health and nutrition for people at all life stages. EatRight also provides a large library
of dietitian-developed recipes with complete nutrition information. The Academy also tackles fad diets and trendy products to help you cut through the marketing jargon and find a healthy, sustainable balance.
The Nutrition Source, a project from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, offers its own interactive balanced plate -- and it's available in 25 languages. The Nutrition Source's plate differs from the USDA's, with a greater emphasis on vegetables and the addition of healthy oils. And since nutrition is just one part of a healthy lifestyle, the project also includes guidance about sleep, stress, disease prevention, and weight management.
A new study published in the journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology shows that alcohol consumption nearly doubles the risk of severe liver damage among people with large bellies, diabetes, or high blood pressure. According to CNN, nearly half of all Americans have high blood pressure and more than a third have pre-diabetes.
A study published in the journal Health Affairs found that nearly 30 percent of U.S. pharmacies closed between 2010 and 2021, leaving many communities in so-called pharmacy deserts. According to the New York Times, reduced access to pharmacies poses a particular threat to older adults, the vast majority of whom take at least one prescription drug each year. Pharmacies also dispense 80 percent of shingles vaccines and as much as 70 percent of flu shots, and provide other essential basic health services that many seniors rely on.
A personalized anti-tumor vaccine showed promising initial results in a clinical trial of nine patients with advanced kidney cancer, generating measurable immune responses in all participants. According to Harvard Medical School, cancer researchers at Harvard's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute created individualized vaccines for each study participant with genetic material from their own tumors in order to train their immune systems to target and destroy cancerous cells. The researchers say that these positive early results are a strong indicator that personalized vaccines are a feasible future treatment option for certain types of cancers.
