Quality time is more than mere proximity. It’s about focusing all your energy on the recipient. A colleague taking notes (watching sports) while talking to his associate is NOT quality time. Unless all of your attention is focused on your recipient, even a designated meeting for two can come and go without a minute of quality time being shared.

Quality conversation is very important in a healthy relationship. It involves sharing experiences, thoughts, feelings and desires in a friendly, uninterrupted context. A good partner will not only listen, but offer advice and respond to assure they are truly listening. Often others don’t expect you to solve their problems. They need a sympathetic listener.

An important aspect of quality conversation is self-revelation. In order for you to really communicate, you must also be in tune with your inner emotions. It is only when you understand your emotions and inner feelings will you then be able to share quality conversation, and quality time with another.

In moderation, these natural sources of caffeine are associated with weight loss, the treatment of asthma and headaches and a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease. Coffee, in particular, is associated with a decreased risk of depression, colon cancer and type two diabetes, according to researchers at Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies. But that doesn't justify guzzling Joe all day.

According to the American Medical Association, moderation is considered three cups of coffee a day, or 300 milligrams of caffeine. If you're a tea drinker, you can double that to six cups, because eight ounces of brewed tea has 30 to 50 milligrams of caffeine, says Junaid Khan, cardiac surgeon with Alta Bates Summit Medical Centerin Berkely, California. Too much dark chocolate obviously can lead to obesity, he adds, and so can sodas and other caffeinated products loaded with sugar. He cautions women who are pregnant, people with osteoporosis and diabetics to curb their caffeine use.

The concept of marketing is neither complicated nor original. ‘The customer is always right’ is a view that has been cited ever since the Industrial Revolution. Marketing acknowledges consumer sovereignty, and this has now developed into a management discipline. The subject of marketing as a management discipline originated in the USA in the 1950s, but its origins go back further. America was the birthplace of modern marketing, but in terms of its earliest practice, it was applied much earlier in Europe.

The carpenter, tailor, saddler and stonemason knew their customers personally and were in a position to discuss individual needs of size, color, shape and design at an individual level. Craftsmen appreciated they had to provide satisfactory service to customers. The Industrial Revolution gave rise to large scale manufacturing, so this personal contact ended. With mass production came mass markets and mass distribution. Manufacturers were no longer able to offer a personalized service, and techniques of marketing were developed to fill this gap.

The word economy comes from the Greek word oikonomos, which means “one who manages a household.” At first, this origin might seem peculiar. But in fact, households and economies have much in common. A household faces many decisions. It must decide which members of the household do which tasks and what each member gets in return: Who cooks dinner? Who does the laundry? Who gets the extra dessert at dinner? Who gets to choose what TV show to watch? In short, the household must allocate its scarce resources among its various members, taking into account each member’s abilities, efforts, and desires. Like a household, a society faces many decisions. A society must decide what jobs will be done and who will do them. It needs some people to grow food, other people to make clothing, and still others to design computer software. Once society has allocated people (as well as land, buildings, and machines) to various jobs, it must also allocate the output of goods and services that they produce. It must decide who will eat caviar and who will eat potatoes. It must decide who will drive a Ferrari and who will take the bus.

The management of society’s resources is important because resources are scarce. Scarcity means that society has limited resources and therefore cannot produce all the goods and services people wish to have. Just as a household cannot give every member everything he or she wants, a society cannot give every individual the highest standard of living to which he or she might aspire
