Health Department Confirmed Semen found on McDonald’s Mayonnaise

You wont believe what was in the McDonalds mayo The Texture Was Familiar the woman said.

A woman in the state of Michigan was in disgusted when she had lunch last week at a local McDonalds. The 31 year old, Lisa McDowell was having a bite to eat with her friends when she ordered a McChicken sandwich. She was halfway through with her sandwich when she noticed a clump of mayonnaise on the side of her bun. She licked it off, but when she tasted it she immediately realized things were not right. I’m not gonna lie, McDowell said. On Birthdays and holidays I give my man a little something extra in the bedroom, you know? So when I licked the mayo off of the bun, the texture was familiar.

The woman then called over the manager who denied the allegations, she then took matters into her own hands and contacted the local health department. They sent the mayo off for testing and the results were positive for 2 different types of semen. YES, you heard that right! And to make matters worse, a couple days later, McDowell awoke from her sleep with a red rash in the corner of her mouth. The rash then spread and developed into severe blisters. She then took a trip to her doctor and he verified that she had contracted the herpes virus, which she claims was a result of her tainted McChicken sandwich from McDonalds.

The manager has fired two employees as a result of her allegations and the test results. The manager of the McDonalds also said, We can’t always keep an eye on our employees conduct. We can only hope, during the interview process, that we are able to hire employees that meet our companies standards.

Seafood Might Protect Brain in People at Genetic Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease

Seafood and Alzheimer’s Disease:  By Karen Pallarito (HealthDay Reporter)

Seafood & Alzheimer's Disease
Seafood & Alzheimer’s Disease

Seafood lovers, a new study delivers good news on two fronts: Mercury found in fish doesn’t lead to mental decline, and for certain people, a diet rich in fish might stave off Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers who examined human brains confirmed that people who eat more seafood have more mercury in their brains. But, they found no link between higher brain levels of that neurotoxin and the kind of brain damage that is typical of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

“Everybody’s saying seafood has so many health benefits, but everybody’s afraid of the mercury,” said lead study author Martha Clare Morris, professor of nutritional epidemiology at Rush University in Chicago.

“We saw absolutely no evidence that higher levels of mercury in the brain were associated with any of the neuropathologies associated with dementia,” she said.

The researchers also found that eating moderate amounts of seafood may have a protective effect for people with a specific genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease.

The study is published in the Feb. 2 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

In an editorial in the same issue, Edeltraut Kroger and Dr. Robert Laforce of Laval University in Quebec, Canada, said the finding suggests “that seafood can be consumed without substantial concern of mercury contamination diminishing its possible cognitive [mental] benefit in older adults.”

But why? Is there something about the so-called long-chain “n-3” fatty acids in fish that protects the brain?

Fish intake, particularly as part of a healthy diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, has been linked with decreased Alzheimer’s disease or slower disease progression, Kroger said.

“It is to this day not quite clear whether the reason for the benefit of fish is to be found in its n-3 unsaturated fatty acid content, or whether the benefit from fish-containing diets is more complicated to understand,” she added.

The data come from participants in Rush’s Memory and Aging Project who died between 2004 and 2013. The average age at death was almost 90, and 67 percent were women. All were free of dementia at enrollment and agreed to undergo annual neurologic evaluations and brain autopsies at death.

To calculate participants’ weekly seafood consumption, researchers relied on food questionnaires, begun an average of 4.5 years before death. The questionnaire included four seafood items: a tuna sandwich; fish sticks, cakes or sandwich; fresh fish as a main dish; and shrimp, lobster or crab.

Tissue samples from 286 autopsied brains were taken to measure brain metal concentrations. Researchers also examined tissue samples for evidence of dementia, including strokes or “micro” strokes; plaques and tangles in the brain that are indicative of Alzheimer’s disease; and Lewy bodies that are associated with Parkinson’s disease.

The finding that higher levels of seafood consumption was associated with higher levels of mercury in the brain was a small but significant correlation, Morris said.

The investigators also found that eating one or more fish meals a week was linked to less Alzheimer’s damage in the brain, but only among people with a gene variant called apolipoprotein E (APOE).

People who inherit this “allele” — or variation — of the apolipoprotein gene are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

“We did not see that protective association in people who didn’t have the APOE allele,” Morris said.

However, higher dietary levels of alpha-linolenic acid, a fatty acid found in plants, was associated with less stroke in the total population, not just those with the APOE variation, she added.

Gorgeous coat designer from New York

 

http://nymag.com/thecut/2014/11/62-minutes-with-isabel-marant.htmlPhoto: Karim Sadli

Isabel Marant doesn’t love being noticed, which she is all the time. To clarify: She likes it when she’s crossing the street and a stranger says “gorgeous coat” or something like that, but she doesn’t like it when people know who she is, so it’s a relief that she seems oblivious to the lady with the blow-dry and the chemically peeled skin who keeps peering, awkwardly, over her shoulder in the lobby of the Mercer Hotel.

“I am quite discreet,” Marant says. “I am not very happy when people scream oooooooooo in the street. And they do it a lot.”

Marant, who is 47, has had tremendous fashion influence in New York over the past couple of years: Those stacked sneakers, those ankle boots, the ascendance of the marled gray sweatshirt, all trace their roots to her designs. But trips to New York are rare. This one was for an upcoming ad campaign that she’d spent the previous day shooting in a top-secret location with a top-secret photographer (later revealed to be Inez & Vinoodh). Then it is back to Paris, to her husband, the handbag designer Jérôme Dreyfuss, and their 11-year-old son, Tal. The family typically spends the weekend at their postage-stamp-size cottage (no electricity) in a forest 35 miles from Paris, eating local things, kayaking on the river, smoking, and playing with an ancient set of tarot cards, and reminding themselves that if all the success and all of the sweaters and handbags and shoes were to disappear down that river, everything would be completely fine. Better than fine, even. So being in New York on a Saturday morning is a kick: “I am very interested in human beings,” Marant says.

Marant’s shop on Broome Street — opened in 2010, it’s one of only two in the U.S., the other being in Los Angeles — is small and sparse, but the big, crowded, and brightly lit chains that line lower Broadway are stuffed with watered-down versions of her look, and, quite often, direct knockoffs. “Sometimes I get really pissed off against certain labels that I feel just live on my back,” she says, “but that’s life, and I want to have a more philosophical approach to clothes than spending time on who has copied what.”

And what philosophy is that? “Well, I am anti-consumerist,” she says, and she laughs a big smoker’s laugh. “It’s very difficult,” she says of the obvious contradiction. “I have to be at peace with myself and what I am doing. I think it’s about feeling good, bringing some self-confidence and attitude, some pleasure. Sometimes when I feel bluesy and I feel like a piece of shit, I go and I shop and I buy something, and it makes me feel happy and it makes me feel better than going to a psychoanalyst. I think there’s a kind of psychoanalytic approach: It’s making good to yourself in a simple way and it’s also about the way you present yourself to people so it brings security and self-confidence. Whenever I start a collection it’s about saying, I don’t really need anything; what will make me feel like buying something new when I don’t really need it?

Marant has been up since 4 a.m. — a combination of jet lag and habit — and is several cappuccinos in. The patrons of the Mercer trickle off the elevator bank: lots of high-tech workout­wear on the men and jeans, boots, and cashmere sweaters on the women. Marant, in white corduroy jeans, navy-blue T-shirt, gray sweatshirt, and tweed jacket, is the Ur-version of all this, the blueprint for the way a certain set of women get themselves up for moments exactly like this, brunch in the lobby of a chic hotel. She says she became a designer because she was the plain child (hard to believe) of a model mother with a long-lashed, beautiful brother. Clothes were a way of standing out.

Ironic, then, that what makes her so popular is her tendency to make clothes that blend seamlessly into wardrobes and lives, that feel from the first moment like old familiars. Everything about the way Marant looks, and what she sells, is easy: She doesn’t wear makeup and there are friendly wrinkles at the sides of her eyes. She doesn’t color her hair, or appear to be hugely bothered by styling it; almost always it’s stuck into a haphazard bun. It’s hard to imagine another designer who has resonated so much with her target customers. Love of Isabel Marant is profound in ever-widening circles, and her instinct for hits is unstoppable: There was the wedge platform sneaker, for example. “I think they have become quite far from my image,” she says, owing to their broad success and a million copycats. “They have become something super-vulgar, so I’m not feeling like I want to be the wedge-sneaker designer. It’s something I achieved and was very pleased about. In a few years, perhaps, it will calm down, and I can say I was the origin of that, and that will be nice. I mean, when I achieved them, I knew I had done something — I know most of the time when I have made a big hit, when something will be copied. There are the Dicker boots. And I was the first one to use linen jersey to do T-shirts, and I knew that was going to be something that was going to last for ages.”

If none of these feels like the reinvention of the fashion wheel, Marant would agree. She sees her role as a creator of things women not only admire but reach for again and again and again. “I feel more like a woman who talks about the mood of my time. I am a bit more like Chanel or Sonia Rykiel — not the super-creative women but women who really belong to their time and make things happen.

“Most of the designers I admire are men,” she continues, though she is quick to explain that she does not emulate them. “I think men are much more ahead of the game because they aren’t thinking about constraints. There are two basic ways of designing. As a woman, I have the more basic and intuitive approach. The men live more in a fantasy and are more able to advance fashion. Sometimes it’s quite easy to do crazy, fantastic things, but then I just say, I would never wear it.” For Marant, there is little purpose in complicated and uncomfortable clothing.

She lists both John Galliano and Martin Margiela as her design heroes, and even though she’s not a believer in the revival of old houses (“Stupid!”), she is pleased that Galliano is back. “Fashion killed him,” she says. “You have to be very strong to survive. I have a family — I think that helps a lot. You can be so lonely. You get very huge with celebrity, but it’s nothing after that. There’s a lot of fakeness, and it can leave you alone very easily. In the ’80s, fashion was a lot about sex and drugs and rock and roll, and I think now to be a designer you have to be the most healthy person — I wake up early and have a half-hour swim every morning to manage the stress. If you don’t go to bed early, with all those collections we have to provide all the time … really, it’s a race. I feel like a high-­performance athlete more than a designer.” Marant finishes her coffee and prepares to step out into the autumn light. Her coat is boxy, and wrapped around her like a blanket. She is almost certain to be stopped.

25 Business and Life Lessons I’ve Learned Since My Mother’s Death

http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/240413

One of the most trying times of my life happened six years ago when my mother lost her courageous battle with Stage IV colon and liver cancer six years ago in November.

I’ve had a lot of time since then to grieve and reflect on the beauty as well as the fragility of life. I believe people have the best breakthroughs in life when they are forced to break down, at least that’s what happened to me. Below is a list of things that I’ve learned since her death and I hope it can help you, too.

1. Listen to mentors of the past.

Make it practice every day to use your commute time as learning time. When I moved to San Diego six years ago, I started doing this and my life drastically improved. Every day I listen to recordings of motivational speakers such as Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn and others on my commute to work.

2. Stretch yourself.

Don’t set goals just for the sake of having them. Set goals that will stretch who you are as a person. Consider the question “What type of person must I become to achieve all that I want?” Stretch goals are essential because what you become in life helps you achieve further.

When you work 10 times harder on yourself, you’ll see phenomenal growth in your life. By taking the time to work on yourself now, you will reap benefits later. If you do what other people aren’t willing to do now, you will enjoy what people cannot even fathom later.

Decide the future you want. Whatever it is that you want, see yourself already in possession of it. Humans are the only life form that can change the course of their life in an instant. If you want success, you can obtain it. You have to believe that what you want is possible for you and that it’s already yours.

3. Be grateful.

Live a life full of gratitude. Every day I am grateful for the time I was able to spend with my mother. I am also grateful for the pain that followed her death because it taught me a lot about my resiliency and compassion. Be grateful not just for the good stuff but learn to grow from the lessons arising from the bad things that happen.

4. Value experience.

Treat experience like a rare jewel of exquisite value. Use what you learned in the past and invest it for your future. Experience, like money, can be very beneficial if you do not squander it but rather put it to good use. Let it serve you. Don’t be a servant to it.

5. Invest in personal development.

Never begrudge the money you spend on yourself for self-development. Don’t miss out on the class, the conference or the seminar. What price can be put on your personal growth? None. It’s priceless.

When I moved to San Diego, I began learning Portuguese. I’m still not as fluent as I want to be, but paying for lessons and learning this new skill really helped my mindset. When you move out of your comfort zone, new avenues of opportunity start opening up for you.

6. Be a problem solver.

When you invest in life by helping another person, your problems seem to disappear. I learned that while I was in deep pain after my mom’s death. It was through helping other people that I could get my mind off my grief and this slowly helped me heal. What problem can you solve for someone else that may inadvertently help you?

7. Become attractive.

To attain all that you want in life, you must become attractive. I’m not talking about physical beauty but about the beauty that you possess inside. For things to change in your life, you have to change. Success is something you attract by becoming an attractive person. It’s not something that you pursue because what you pursue always eludes you like a butterfly.

8. Show kindness to others.

Be polite to everyone you meet. Just make up your mind to be kind even to strangers. When you walk out a door, hold it open for the person behind you. Display good manners. Treat people the way you want to be treated.

9. Be a friend.

The greatest wealth of all time is friends. They know all about you and still like you. Joys are doubled and sorrows cut in half when you share them with a friend.

Be the kind of friend you want. Spend time with your friends. Value them. Treasure them. Make time for them. Widen out your circle of friendships. I have great friends who are younger than me, my age and older than me. Don’t go looking for a friend. Be one.

10. Stay in touch.

Sometimes months or even years may go by without your realizing that you haven’t kept up with close friends and family. When you lose a loved one, you begin to know all too well the importance of relationships. Make a list of 10 people you haven’t spoken to in a while. Call or write them. It really does make a difference.

11. Embrace the cycle of life.

After spring comes summer and after summer comes fall. It’s been that way since the beginning of time. You can also use the seasons as metaphors for life.

After good times, there will be bad times, but then good times will come again and so forth. When someone dies, a new life will be born. Life will always be a mixture of opportunity and difficulty. Since you can’t change this, you must learn to embrace it.

12. Be vulnerable.

Most people spend their entire lives hiding who they really are from others. The only way to really live authentically is to connect with others. Be open, honest and vulnerable. When you share your struggles, you give permission to others to do the same.

13. Embrace hardship.

Happiness or joy does not come from the things you possess. It comes from the substance of who you are. That substance is made up of your experiences in life. A pearl is created by the irritation of a grain of sand. When you experience conflict, adversity or irritations, they often create hidden pearls.

14. Forgive someone.

Forgiveness is a beautiful thing because you release the hurt and pain that you carry within you. It’s like a huge weight that’s lifted from your life. Don’t live your life in the past. Rather use it as a catalyst to make your life better. To truly forgive someone, you must release the person from his or her responsibility for the hurt caused you. Forgiveness is a choice.

15. Start a podcast.

The best way to move of your comfort zone is by trying something new. Starting a podcast was very scary for me; that’s why I knew I had to do it. When you stretch yourself, you become a new person with new skills. Those new skills can only help you later in life.

16. Take action.

Too many people wait until everything is just right before venturing out. Stop waiting. Take action now. Send out what you have into the world and then constantly improve upon it. Everything you do is a work in progress. So don’t procrastinate. Get started.

17. Start a 21-day challenge.

Experts say that it takes 21 days to form a habit. So make a list of some of the things you want to start implementing in life. Narrow it down and challenge yourself to stick with it for 21 days. You’ll be amazed by how awesome you’ll feel after you accomplish it.

18. Take to lunch people you admire.

A great way to acquire a mentor is to invite someone to have lunch — on you. Make a list of 10 people you want to get to know better. Each time you’ll be amazed at how much the other person will enjoy this. People love to talk about themselves and their accomplishments. This is a great way to get them to do it.

19. Banish toxicity.

When I stopped spending time with toxic people, my life improved beyond measure. Toxic people bring you down and you can’t flourish with them in your life. Make a list of these people. Stop associating with them or at least limit the time spent with them if the former isn’t possible.

20. Say I love you every day.

The word love is used for so many different things. People love their cars, homes, cities and even their clothes. But the kind of love I’m referring to is the unconditional love for your family and dear friends. Rarely do people say I love you every day to those they love. I learned that this is essential to say every day because you never know what tomorrow will hold.

21. Don’t be in such a hurry.

Don’t spend your life chasing after something. Slow down. Cherish what you have. Savor the goodness of life. Wherever you are, be there, fully.

22. Write it down.

Keep a list of your accomplishments. I like to keep things in a journal and I look at it whenever I need a pick-me-up. Writing can be therapeutic and when you review the major milestones you’ve reached, you’ll know that if you did those things, you can do so much more.

23. Recover quickly.

Losing a loved one is devastating and each person grieves differently. There is no timetable for this pain. What I’ve learned is that with all adversity, it’s best to recover as quickly as possible. Don’t stay in a saddened state one minute longer than you have to. Don’t let things affect you so long that you’re not able to recover.

24. Take care of yourself.

When you go on an airplane, the flight attendant says to first secure your own mask before you help others. You can’t help others if you neglect yourself. Take care of you first so you will be able care for others.

25. Smile frequently. Dance often.

A smile is the only circle that can make things straight. Be cautious of your face when you interact with people. A smile is a simple gift that you can give to others. Be generous with it.

My mother loved to dance and that’s why I love dancing. Thank you, Mom. I really miss you. Read more…

The Most Important Hour of Your Life

 

http://xxxxswww.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140715134701-8353952-the-most-important-hour-of-your-life

An executive called me up a few months ago in existential pain. He had spent the last several years pursuing a career path he now admitted was not right for him. He had overstayed his time building a software company when he really wanted to be teaching and writing. An optimist by nature, it had surprised him to find how off track he had become without ever intending it. Almost as concerning as being off track was the realization that it had happened without any deliberate choice on his part. How was this possible? Why do otherwise smart people end up strategically adrift? And what can we do about it?

It’s not hard to see how this happens. It is as if the world has conspired to keep us perpetually distracted, addicted even, to the latest update regardless of its importance. On my worst days I wonder if my tombstone will read: “He checked email.” I am not alone.

TIME magazine recently reported that, on average, we check our phones 110 times a day. At the highest levels people check some 900 times a day.

Harris Interactive recently conducted research for Everest College that found 83 percent of Americans are stressed by at least one aspect of their work—that’s up 10 percent from the year before.

The New York Times recently published the results of a survey of 12,000 workers worldwide that found many lacked a fulfilling workplace. The most striking finding, to me, was that 70 percent of the workers felt they did not have “Regular time for creative or strategic thinking.”

The effect of this goes far beyond feeling stressed. When we are constantly taxed by the trivial we don’t have the space to think. We can end up getting lost and wasting years going in the wrong direction.

The German psychologist Jan Souman sheds some interesting insight on the problem. As part of a research project he took participants to the Sahara Desert and instructed them to walk in a straight line. It sounds simple but it turned out to be complicated: “[Some] of them walked on a cloudy day, with the sun was hidden behind the clouds [and with no reference points in view]. … [They] all walked in circles, with [several] of them repeatedly crossing their own path without noticing it.” Other participants did much better. They walked while the sun was shining, with faraway reference points in view. “These … followed an almost perfectly straight course.” In other words, if we can identify what is most essential and keep our eyes fixed on that it can help us from getting too far adrift.

This research came into focus for me a few days ago when I heard from my friend Enric Sala. Enric has applied essentialism to creating a meaningful career. He gave up a good post at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in California to pursue an even more meaningful role at National Geographic. Then once he was there he continued to negotiate his way to what he felt was the best and highest use of him: to be an Explorer-in-Residence. He now travels to the most pristine oceans in the world in an effort to protect these areas as National Parks. He and his team have already secured areas the size of Alaska from being damaged.

When he reached out to me it wasn’t to tell me about his career. He told me he had been diagnosed with cancer of the kidney. He has recently had a successful surgery so he looks in the clear for now. But the experience challenged him to look with great urgency to what he will do with what remains of his “one wild and precious life.”

The questions he asked himself don’t take a long time to answer. An hour may be enough. But they have the power to improve the quality of every other hour of your life. Here are the questions:

Step 1: If possible get out into nature where you can feel the natural pace of the earth and not the hyperactive and inhumane pace of modern life.

Step 2: Write down the question “What would I do if I only had a week left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.

Step 3: Write down the question, “What would I do if I only had a month left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.

Step 4: Write down the question, “What would I do if I only had a year left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.

Step 5: Write down the question, “What would I do if I only had five years left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.

Step 6: Write down the question, “What would I do if I only had a life left to live?” and take 10 minutes to write down your answer.

Step 7: Finally, take 10 minutes to reread all of your answers while asking yourself, “How can I design my routine this week to more closely align with these answers?”

Life today is fast and full of opportunity. The complication is we think we have to do everything. The implication of this is we end up being pulled into endless distractions without pausing to really think. My position is we can make a different choice. We can discern what is really essential. We can design a life that really matters. Read more…

5 Reasons Why Most Don’t Become Wealthy

Are you holding yourself back from your financial freedom?

“Why is it that people don’t become wealthy?”  In a country like ours, with the opportunities that we have, why is it that so few people retire financially independent?  And I eventually found the answers. Here are what I consider to be the five reasons why people don’t become wealthy.

Who Me?

First, at the top of the list, is that it never occurs to them.  The average person has grown up in a family where he has never met or known anyone who was wealthy.  He goes to school and socializes with people who are not wealthy.  He works with people who are not wealthy.  He has a reference group or a social circle outside of work who are not wealthy. He has no role models who are wealthy. If this has happened to you throughout your formative years, up to the age of twenty, you can grow up and become a fully mature adult in our society, and it may never occur to you that it’s just as possible for you to become wealthy as for anyone else.

This is why people who grow up in homes where their parents are wealthy are much more likely to become wealthy as adults then people who grew up in homes where their parents are not.  So the first reason why people don’t become wealthy is it never occurs to them that it is possible for them.  And of course, if it never occurs to them, then they never take any of the steps necessary to make it a reality.

Make a Decision!

The second reason that people don’t become wealthy is that they never decide to.  Even if a person reads a book, attends a lecture, or associates with people who are financially successful, nothing changes until he makes a decision to do something different. Even if it occurs to a person that he could become wealthy if he just did certain things in a specific way, if he doesn’t decide to take the first step, he ends up staying as he is.If you continue to do what you’ve always done, you’ll continue to get what you’ve always got.

The primary reason for underachievement and failure is that the great majority of people don’t decide to be successful. They never make a firm, unequivocal commitment or definite decision that they are going to become wealthy. They mean to, and they intend to, and they hope to and they’re going to, someday. They  wish and hope and pray that they will make a lot of money, but they never decide, “I am going to do it!” This decision is an essential first step to becoming financially independent.

Maybe Tomorrow

The third reason that people don’t become wealthy is procrastination.  People always have a good reason not to begin doing what they know they need to do to achieve financial independence.  It is always the wrong month, the wrong season, or the wrong year.  Business conditions in their industry are no good, or they may be too good. The market isn’t right. They may have to take a risk, or give up their security. Maybe next year.

There always seems to be a reason to procrastinate. As a result, they keep putting it off, month by month, year by year, until it’s too late.  Even if it has occurred to a person that they can become wealthy, and they have made a decision to change, procrastination will push all their plans into the indefinite future.

Pay the Price

The fourth reason that people retire poor is what economists call the inability to delay gratification.  The great majority of people have an irresistible temptation to spend every single penny they make and whatever else they can borrow or buy on credit.  If you cannot delay gratification, and discipline yourself to refrain from spending everything you make, you cannot become wealthy. If you cannot practice budgeting as a lifelong habit, it will be impossible for you to achieve financial independence. As W.Clement Stone said, “If you cannot save money, the seeds of greatness are not in you.”

Take the Long View

The fifth reason that people retire poor is perhaps as important, if not more important, than all the others. It islack of time perspective.  In a longitudinal study conducted by Dr Edward Banfield at Harvard University in the 1950s and published in 1964 as The Unheavenly City, he studied the reasons for upward socio-economic mobility.  He wanted to know how you could predict whether an individual or a family was going to move upward one or more socio-economic groupings and be wealthier in the next generation than they were this generation.

All his research brought him to a single factor that he concluded was more accurate than any other in predicting success in America. They called it time perspective.  This was defined as the amount of time that you take into consideration when planning your day-to-day activities and when making important decisions in your life.  Time perspective referred to how far you projected into the future when you decided what you were going to do or not do in the present.

An example of long time perspective is the common habit of upper class families in England to register their children at Oxford or Cambridge as soon as the child is born, even though he or she will not be attending for eighteen or nineteen years. This is long time perspective in action.  The young couple that begins putting $50 dollars a month aside in a scholarship fund so that their newborn child can go to the college or university of his or her choice is a couple with long time perspective. They are willing to sacrifice in the short term to assure better results and outcomes in the long term. People with long time perspective almost invariably move up economically in the course of their lifetimes.
