Keep an eye on the Dryer
There is an estimated 15,500 fires, 10 deaths, and 310 injuries a year associated with clothes dryers. Some of these fires occur when lint builds up in the lint trap or in the exhaust duct. To prevent such catastrophes, clean the lint trap regularly and check the exhaust hose occasionally.

Never Quit
“Defeat doesn’t finish a man— quitting does. A man is not finished when he’s defeated. He’s finished when he quits.” --Richard M. Nixon

Winners vs. Losers
A winner says, “Let’s find out.” A loser says, “Nobody knows.”
If a winner makes a mistake, he says, “I was wrong.”
If a loser makes a mistake, he says, “It wasn’t my fault.”
Winners go through a problem to deal with the issue, while losers go around problems to avoid tough issues.
A winner says, “There ought to be a better way to do it.”
A loser says, “That’s the way it’s always been done.”

Make Time for Yourself
Find time to relax - read a good book, take a walk, spend time with your kids or find a hobby. This helps reduce stress levels and keeps you healthy.
