Tall people earn higher salary than short people?

Is there any truth with this statement?
Recent survey and research indicates that taller people earn more than shorter ones, with an extra inch of height associated with a 1% to 2% increase in income.

Furthermore there are also research findings that indicates taller people are smarter therefore earn more money. Is there any link between height and intelligence?

Do you agree with such research findings? I bet some people in particular those who are not so tall or diminutive may probably find such research conclusion to be offensive and discriminatory? What about you my dear reader and friend? If there are indeed any elements of truth with such findings then I suppose many people will conclude that life is not fair after all. Most Caucasians are taller than Asians. Does that mean Caucasians are smarter and richer than Asians?

Well, my experience within the current surrounding environment does indeed indicate that there are some elements of truth with such findings. My immediate superior is taller than me and so are many of the company directors who earn at least two or three times my monthly pay. Most of them do seem to be slightly taller than me, at least it seems. On the other hand I also do know of many successful entrepreneurs and businessmen who are by inches shorter than me. At times I do wonder that perhaps taller people should be less intelligent since it takes longer time for the heart to pump up supplied oxygen cells and blood to the brains of tall people.

For those who welcome such research findings, for you ladies out there, get yourself a tall husband if you want a more stable, successful and secure family life.

Hair care tips

Here’s some simple hair care tips to keep your hair in healthy condition.
Avoid applying shampoo on dry hair. Use mild warm water to rinse your hair off dirt and other pollutants first and thereafter apply shampoo. If you have oily scalp it is important to avoid using hot water to rinse your hair because it will excite your scalp to produce excessive oil from the sebaceous gland.
Take the opportunity to massage your scalp to stimulate blood flow around the scalp while you are shampooing.
Blood circulation in the scalp is important and helps to keep our hair healthy and strong. Always remember to use the tip of the fingers to clean and massage your scalp instead of using your fingers as it might bruise your scalp and damage your hair. Always remember to rinse the shampoo off your hair thoroughly with cold or mild warm water and tower block dry your hair when you are done with the rinsing.

Show me the money

I rang up one of my ex-colleague a few weeks ago. We chatted over the phone for quite awhile and before I hang off the phone I took the opportunity to ask him if he is interested to consider exploring business startup opportunities. Immediately he asked me to show him the money before he would ever think about venturing into any business startup deals. There are many people out there who feel the same way just like my ex-colleague, people who feel that they need to have the money to begin with.
I beg to differ in opinion though. We don’t need to be great to start; we certainly need to start to become great. Well anyway, this is just my personal opinion, food for thoughts so to speak.

The times of your life

Time sure pass quickly. It is wonderful and sometimes kind of funny to take a look at yourself way back when you were just a kid. What better way to mesmerize and recollect the past by keeping photographs and photo shots of yesteryears? Thanks to the advent of digital technology we can now scan and digitized photographs for archive purposes.This is exactly what my younger sister did. I was surprised when she passed me a CD containing JPEG files of the family. I suppose you could guess which tiny tots in the picture is me cant you? Cant exactly remember how old I was when the picture was taken, I suppose I was probably around 3 to 4 years old. In between I like the song written by Paul Anka named ‘The times of your life’. I am reminded of my earlier childhood years each time I listen to the song.

Permanent base on the moon

Well it’s being quite awhile since I last update my blog. Time sure pass quickly. One of my favorite sci-fi television series is ‘Space 1999’. Back then during the 1970s when ‘Space 1999’ was popularly shown on TV, the year1999 seems like a far distant future where it seems highly probable that man may someday conquer and dwell on the moon on permanent basis. The author and inventor of the ‘Space 1999’ TV series would be surprise to know that we have yet to establish any permanent base on the moon. Yes, man has landed on moon since the 1960s. It is now technological feasible to establish a permanent base in the moon so why aren’t NASA or the Russian Space Agency doing so? The answer is surprisingly simple. We may now have the necessary technology and the knowledge to build a permanent base on the moon; however so long as it is cost prohibitive and expensive to maintain such a base, NASA or any space agency would seek alternative cheaper solution to house human in space such as the European Space Station.
The lesson that we could learn from this is that a product or a service has to be economically viable to be accepted and being considered for use. We may have the most advance and high tech product in the world; it would be useless though if the price for such a product is too high and beyond the reach of the mass population.
