A lot of parents understand that their behaviors have played an important role for their children’s future. But the U.S. study showed that in addition to the behaviors of their parents, the children will imitate the behavior of their brothers and sisters. Laurie Kramer, the professor of the University of Illinois, wrote a report on this study and these words are quoted on web site of Daily Mail in British. As her saying, sometimes the things or knowledge which we have learned from parents overlap with the things we learn from brothers and sisters. But there is obviously different in some respects. The researchers said parents give a good example for their children on formal behaviors such as how to dine in a formal occasion. But brothers and sisters play an important role in learning the informal behavior such as how to make a cool model among their friends. “In the informal behavior, brothers and sisters is a better example than parents,” Kramer said. According to her statement, children’s brothers and sisters are the social media for children. The children will imitate a number of habits from the brothers and sisters, whether the habits are good or bad. So the results of this study will help people to understand how young people develop a smoking, drinking, etc. bad habits. “If a girl’s sister is early pregnancy, then she is a high possibility of early pregnancy.” Kraemer said that parents should help our brothers and sisters to establish the positive relationship such as mutual respect, cooperation from childhood so as to reduce the children to imitate each other the possibility of other bad habits. Kramer also suggested that the one-child parents should help children get “social experience” in order to promote children as they grow.

By the way, there is a suggestion from Cancer research UK foundation is that drinking a small cup of wine with low alcohol concentration every day can reduce the risk of suffering cancer. The researchers also pointed out that this is just a personal risk. Although this study only applies to colon cancer, but there is no reason to believe that throat cancer, esophageal cancer, and breast cancer will not make a similar reflection.


To accomplish great things, you must dream great dreams. But dreaming alone isn’t enough, you must believe in your dreams and you must act. Without action, even the most grand of dreams evaporate into the ether when left unnurtured in the misty realms of the mind.
Do you dare to be a dreamer? Prepare to go it alone. Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown. As you dance your dreams into reality, those who can’t hear the music may think you a fool. Pay no heed to those who would kill your dreams, small minds always do that. Great minds will encourage you that you can become great too.
Afraid you haven’t got what it takes? Then get it! Feed your mind the mental food it hungers for.
There was a dog breeder who had two dogs that raced every weekend. He took bets and always won. One week he’d bet on his black dog, and the black dog would win. The next week he’d bet on the white dog, and folks seeing the black dog win the week before would bet, but this time the white dog would win. Why? One week he’d feed the dog he wanted to win a grand diet, and just give the other dog enough to survive. The dog that was well fed was stronger and would always win the race.
Your mind is the same way; it grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it. The diet of the mind is what gives you the confidence, courage, knowledge, and the direction you need to succeed in your dreams, or keep you from them. You can build your mind up or tear it down. The choice is yours and you make it every day.
Have you been waiting for the right time to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right circumstances to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right opportunity to reach for dreams? My, you’re patient, aren’t you? You could be waiting forever, you know. Time is an illusion. Circumstances are what you make them. Opportunity is a whisper that waits for your invitation; it doesn’t burst in and shout its arrival.
Now is the right time. Circumstances change when you take action. Opportunity is yours for the making. So what are you really waiting for?
Here’s how you’ll know if you’ve become all you can be: If you’re alive, you haven’t.

It’s never too Late to Realize your Dream

Author: angel
September 11, 2009

Most potential entrepreneurs dream of breakthrough businesses all their lives and never get started. On the other hand, those who have listened to their intuition often wish they took the plunge earlier.
When surveyed, entrepreneurs say 29 is the ideal age to start a business. The average age that entrepreneurs actually start a business is 35. They wish they’d started earlier.
There’s no perfect age to start living your dreams. Being too young or too old is no excuse. The perfect time to start is right now.
These people did.
Nola Ochs – The Energizer Student
1972. Nola Ochs is widowed on her wheat farm in the town of Jetmore, Kansas (population 1000). She tends to her farm with the help of her children. In 1978, she realises she wants more from life. Age 68, she signs up for a tennis class at the nearest community college.
Years pass. Nola works full-time on her farm and occasionally drives into town to attend a class. After ten years studying everything from agribusiness to the Bible, she’s told that she is one class away from an associates degree. All she must do is complete college algebra.
With an associates degree she is pleased but not fulfilled. College algebra will not be the end of her scholarly career. Several years later she decides to make the two hour trek to Fort Hays State University. Enrolling at age 94, she lacks only 30 class hours to earn a bachelor’s degree. In May 2007, at 95, she becomes the world’s oldest college graduate.
Is it time to sit back and enjoy the framed diploma on the farmhouse wall? Not yet. She’s started a Masters Degree.
Cliff Burgess – The Marathon Man
1993. Cliff Burgess is 55. He’s tired of his potbelly and vows to start walking.
Cliff hits the pavement in his suburban Texas town. A walk around the block turns into twice around the block. Walking feels good, but he knows he can pick up some speed. The weight starts to come off as he signs up for 5km and 10km races. In less than a year, he enters in the San Antonio marathon thinking of it as a training run in preparation for his first marathon – 42km (26.2 miles). He feels good during the race, and he crosses the finish line faster than expected.
Averaging 15 marathons per year, he completes his 100th marathon six years later at the age of 62.
Reaching 100 marathons isn’t the final goal. His running gives him an excuse to travel the world to add to his marathon list. He finds himself in Finland, France, Romania, China, Argentina, Brazil, 25 other countries, and nearly all of the 50 states of the USA in a record 15 years.
At age 70, he’s at Marathon #226 and counting. One of his finest highlights is qualifying multiple times for the runner’s dream: a bib number in the Boston Marathon. In April 2009, he will travel to Boston, Massachusetts for the fourth time to take part yet again in all the running glory.
“Nothing happens unless first we dream.”
~ Carl Sandburg
Action summary
There’s never a perfect age to live your dreams. The perfect age is right now.
Make your goal known. Travel one step at a time.
Keep your dream alive. Long-term goals exist because they take a long time.
Success and determination are intimate siblings. Talent is merely success’s distant cousin.
