performance.
¶
For the past six weeks I’ve been conducting an experiment on myself. I’ve been taking different levels of caffeine every day, with intent of figuring out exactly how much I should take for optimal mental and physical performance.

How to become more likable — 4 Tips That Will Change Your Life

¶
Death omits growth. If you’re not growing, you’re dying. If your money isn’t making money, you’re losing money. There’s no middle ground. It’s black or white.

I chose this article title for one reason: I know my readers- they’re smart, so my concern is not whether they’re finding the right answer.
