3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Though annoyed by my current Common Cold infection, morale was raised by the fact that I look almost certain to win my grievance at the Weekend Job. The forthcoming fortnight looks like it will be a pause-and-clear-up time, recovering from this infection, tying-up loose ends and entertaining missus over the Easter break.

Researchers at Baylor University have found that children deprived of touch, play, and interaction with others have brains 20-30% smaller than normal for their age. 

9. ZEN WISDOM
If we decide to ourselves that something is impossible, then, consistent with our minds in thinking so, even something that is possible for us will become impossible. On the other hand, if we have the confidence that we can definitely do something, then we are already one step closer to achieving it in reality.
