TYPE 2 DIABETES ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF STROKE AND CARDIOVASCULAR
EVENTS
This study, which conducted a secondary analysis of the Stroke Prevention
by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Levels (SPARCL) trial, found
that SPARCL subjects with type 2 diabetes were at higher risk for recurrent
stroke and cardiovascular events. There were no differences in the effect
of statin treatment in reducing these events in subjects with or without
type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome (MetS).
ACTION STEP: Get up to date on how you can help your clients manage
and/or prevent diabetes. When you enter the keywords "Diabetes

4. GETTING LAID OFF MAY BE THE BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU
By Wolf J. Rinke, PhD, RD, CSP
Statistics tell us that only 19% of the US population love what they
do. Twenty five percent hate it! And the rest could take it or leave
it! Unfortunately the people who either hate or are neutral about their
jobs will find it difficult to succeed, regardless how hard they try
or how long they work at it! And for them, getting fired may be just
what the doctor ordered, because it will give them the impetus to find
something that they love to do!
WHAT IF YOU HAVE A JOB?
How do you know whether you should stay in your current job or switch
careers? Find out by answering the following seven questions:
1. When your opportunity clock rings in the morning, are you anxious
to get up and go to work?
2. Are you excited to be in your current profession?
3. Do you love what you do? (Note I said love not like - there is a
big difference!)
4. Do you feel privileged to be part of your current company or organization?
5. Does work seem like play to you?
6. Are you wondering why you are being paid for what you do?
7. Are you looking forward to work, at least four out of five days each
week (80% of the time)?
If you answered YES to all seven questions you are in your dream career
and are on your way to the top. If not read on, so you too can find
out how to "work" less and enjoy it more.
AVOID SEEKING PERFECTION
But first, regarding question number seven. Why not a 100% of the time?
Because there is no perfect job; every job has some aspects that you
will not care for. For example, I am a professional speaker, and love
what I do. At times I have so much fun speaking that I wonder why I
am being paid so well for it. It almost seems that I should be paying
the audience. (Pretend you did not read that, especially if you are
a meeting planner!) But there is a down side to professional speaking.
It is traveling, especially airline travel, (I call it cattle herding),
and being away from my wife and my own bed. So, for me, traveling is
the other 20 percent. That's the price I happily pay to do the things
I really love to do. (That's why Superwoman, that's my wife of 43 years
and business partner, tells prospective clients: "Wolf speaks for
free, but he charges for travel.")
FIND YOUR PASSION
Here is another way that you can find out if you are passionate about
what you do. Imagine that you have just won the BIG ONE: six million
dollars in the Lottery. What the heck. We're dreaming here, so let's
make it 60 million! Assume you take the next 12 months to "get
everything you have always wanted to do out of your system." You
buy yourself that dream house, purchase the Rolls Royce, go on several
"once in a life" vacations, set aside enough money for you,
every family member, relative and anyone else who has ever been nice
to you. Having put that behind you, ask yourself: "Now that I've
got all that out of my system, what will I do with the rest of my life?"
And whatever pops in your head at the very moment you ask that question,
is what you should start pursuing NOW! (Yes, even in these tough times,
but put safe guards in place-see the next paragraph.)
DON'T HAVE THE SKILLS NOR THE EDUCATION?
Get yourself a temporary job to help pay the bills. Make time to get
the skills and the education you need. Watch less TV. go to fewer ball
games so you can go to school in the evening and study on weekends.
Do whatever it takes to prepare yourself for your dream job. After you
have prepared yourself, work part time in your dream job. Can't get
paid for it? Volunteer. Do whatever it takes, pay any price, make any
sacrifice, just do it! Once you are certain that you have found your
dream career, give up that temporary job. Not getting paid as much as
in your former job? Not to worry. Just stay with your dream job. I've
finally learned after more than 50 years of working that overnight success
takes a long time. But I've also learned that once you find what you
LOVE to do you will make more money, much more money than you have ever
thought possible. Want proof? Look at the people you admire--people
who have made it to the top in their chosen profession. I bet you that
virtually all of them love what they do. And by the way it does not
matter what profession they are in because there is no such as thing
as a "glamour" profession. A friend of ours lives in a $1.5
million mansion and has more money then he'll ever be able to use in
his life-time. His profession? He is a plumber! Yes, he owns a plumbing
contracting company, but most importantly he is passionate about what
he does. On the other hand I can introduce you to many a lawyer, physician
or others who are in so called "glamour professions" who do
not care for what they do, and who have trouble paying the mortgage.
In short, getting laid off during these tough times can be the best
thing that can happen to you ... if you take the opportunity to find
something that you are passionate about, something that "turns
you on," something that you love to do. Happy hunting!

5. HEAR WOLF "HOWL"--I MEAN SPEAK
Oct 24, 2011 "Increasing Your Personal Effectiveness", Renaissance
Woodbridge, Iselin, NJ. This full day seminar may be open to you if
your company is a member of the Institute of Management Studies (IMS).
Contact Ken Verostick, newjersey@ims-online.com for specifics.
Recommend me to the meeting planner of your upcoming state or local
dietetic association and I will help make your next meeting a "howling
success." As a way of giving back, I speak to ADA groups at significantly
reduced rates.
6. HUMOR BREAK
THE JOY OF PARENTING:
Cleaning your house while your kids are at home is like trying to shovel
the driveway in the middle of a snowstorm.
An alarm clock is a device for waking people up who don't have small
children.
There are only two things a child will share willingly: communicable
diseases and their mother's age.
Kids really brighten a household ... they never turn off any lights.
Shouting to make your kids obey is like using the horn to steer your
car, and you get about the same results!
Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so
he can tell when he's really in trouble.
