The way you live, what you eat and drink, and how you treat your body can affect your memory just as much as your physical health and well-being. Here are five things you can do every day to keep both your mind and body sharp.

1. Manage your stress. The constant drumbeat of daily stresses such as deadline pressures or petty arguments can certainly distract you and affect your ability to focus and recall. But the bigger problem is an ongoing sense of anxiety — that can lead to memory impairment. If you don’t have a strategy in place for managing your stress, protecting your memory is one reason to get one. Deep breathing, meditation, yoga, and a “mindful” approach to living can all help.

2. Get a good night’s sleep. People who don’t sleep well at night tend to be more forgetful than people who sleep soundly. A good night’s sleep is essential for consolidating memories. The most common reason for poor sleep is insomnia — difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Unfortunately, many medicines used to treat insomnia can also impair memory and general brain function. That’s why it’s best to try improving your sleep habits first and turn to medication only if those steps don’t help. If you do need sleep aids, use the lowest dose for the shortest time needed to get your sleep back on track.

3. If you smoke, quit. Easier said than done, certainly — but if you need additional motivation, know that smokers have a greater degree of age-related memory loss and other memory problems than nonsmokers. People who smoke more than two packs of cigarettes a day at midlife have more than double the risk of developing dementia in old age compared with nonsmokers. However, those who stop smoking by midlife and those who smoke less than half a pack a day have a similar a risk of dementia as people who have never smoked.

4. Stop drinking alcohol. Drinking alcohol increases the risk for memory loss and dementia. People with alcoholism have difficulty performing short-term memory tasks, such as memorizing lists. Another type of memory loss associated with alcohol use is called Korsakoff’s syndrome. In this condition, long-term vitamin B1 deficiency, combined with the toxic effects of alcohol on the brain, can trigger sudden and dramatic amnesia. In some cases this memory loss is permanent, but if caught early, it can be reversed to some degree.

5. Protect your brain from injury. Head trauma is a major cause of memory loss and increases the risk of developing dementia. Always use the appropriate gear during high-speed activities and contact sports. Wear a helmet when bicycling, riding on a motorcycle, in-line skating, and skiing. Wear seat belts when riding in motor vehicles. Car accidents are by far the most common cause of brain injury, and wearing a seat belt greatly reduces the chances of severe head injury.

What’s your biggest weakness?

It’s one of those standard, predictable interview questions that you’re eager to respond to with your well-rehearsed and perfectly crafted retort—even though you’re likely sweating through your shirt at the thought of having to admit any sort of flaw in front of a hiring manager.

So, if you listened to a lot of common career advice (or those frequent and often unwelcome job tips from dear ol’ Mom and Dad), you’d likely answer with something cliché like, “Well, I’m a perfectionist…” and then carry on providing some vague and transparent explanation of how that positive trait is actually a negative.

Well, I’ve got news for you. Hiring managers have been around the block a few too many times to believe that your obsession with perfection is your only shortcoming. They know better than to fall for that age-old “position a strength as a weakness” trap.

But, even so, this all-too-common response got me thinking: Can being a perfectionist actually be considered a weakness? Can your obsession with flawlessness ever hurt your career? It seems counterintuitive that a desire to get everything right could be anything but beneficial. But, as a self-proclaimed perfectionist myself, I’ve started to see how this perceived positive quality has quite a few drawbacks.

So, here are five ways that trait can be a real disadvantage—and not just a false one you use to attempt to trick those unsuspecting hiring managers.

1. You Hold Yourself Back

As a perfectionist, I don’t want to do anything that I might not be instantly great at. I have absolutely no desire to put myself out there only to end up with a beet-red face and a bruised ego. It’s for this very reason that I haven’t gone golfing in years (sorry, Dad).

Listen, I know that nobody likes to set themselves up for defeat and embarrassment. But, holding yourself back from opportunities for growth, improvement, and learning in order to avoid potential humiliation isn’t recommended either. Constantly ranking being perfect ahead of being human is a surefire way to limit yourself both professionally and personally.

2. You Place Too Much Emphasis on the Wrong Things

When you’re so concerned with getting things just right, it’s all too easy to become obsessive. Before you know it, you’ve spent all of your time churning over minor details that really have no impact on the end result. Moreover, you likely had to sacrifice time spent elsewhere in order to remain completely fixated on those trivial and inconsequential minutiae.

Those hours you wasted agonizing over what exact fonts to use in that sales report? Well, they required you to pass up a happy hour with your co-workers—an outing that would’ve granted you the opportunity to build better relationships with your colleagues. And, guess what? In the end, that’s way more important than the subtle differences between Cambria and Times New Roman.

3. You Never Take Time to Celebrate Your Wins

Honestly, being a perfectionist is all consuming. I become tirelessly focused on polishing something within in an inch of its life, until someone finally forces me to move on and turn it in. And, once I get that task or project off my plate, I’m immediately moving onto the next thing.

The problem with this? I never take time to recognize my wins and successes. No matter what accomplishment I manage to get under my belt, I fail to acknowledge what a kickass job I just did. Refusing to reward myself and recognize a job well done? Well, it’s already led to total burnout on numerous different occasions.

4. You Become Unlikable

People are different. Just because you’re infatuated with the idea of perfection doesn’t necessarily mean everybody else is. And—let’s face it—most perfectionists also end up being complete control freak. They not only expect flawlessness from themselves, but from everyone else around them as well.

Spoiler alert: Not everybody wants to live up to the same ridiculous standards you set for yourself. And, if you try to enforce those expectations on them, you’ll quickly become resented and completely unlikable. Your work may be perfect, but your relationships definitely won’t be.

5. You Set Yourself Up for a Lifetime of Disappointment

Here’s the thing: Nothing is ever truly perfect. And, while I don’t recommend throwing your hands up and simply settling for mediocrity, there’s truly no reason to drive yourself nuts trying to achieve absolute faultlessness—because that’s likely never going to happen.

Why? Well, if you’re a true perfectionist, you’ll simply never be satisfied anyway—no matter how excellent the end result.

Yes, you might be tempted to spit out that overused “perfectionist” line when attempting to skirt the classic job question about your biggest weakness. But, I urge you not to default to this cop-out of an answer. As these points prove, your seemingly sneaky reply isn’t nearly as much of a hidden strength as you’d like to think.


http://www.dosunmukazeem.com/5-reasons-being-a-perfectionist-actually-is-your-biggest-weakness-and-not-just-in-interviews/

What’s your biggest weakness?

It’s one of those standard, predictable interview questions that you’re eager to respond to with your well-rehearsed and perfectly crafted retort—even though you’re likely sweating through your shirt at the thought of having to admit any sort of flaw in front of a hiring manager.

So, if you listened to a lot of common career advice (or those frequent and often unwelcome job tips from dear ol’ Mom and Dad), you’d likely answer with something cliché like, “Well, I’m a perfectionist…” and then carry on providing some vague and transparent explanation of how that positive trait is actually a negative.

Well, I’ve got news for you. Hiring managers have been around the block a few too many times to believe that your obsession with perfection is your only shortcoming. They know better than to fall for that age-old “position a strength as a weakness” trap.

But, even so, this all-too-common response got me thinking: Can being a perfectionist actually be considered a weakness? Can your obsession with flawlessness ever hurt your career? It seems counterintuitive that a desire to get everything right could be anything but beneficial. But, as a self-proclaimed perfectionist myself, I’ve started to see how this perceived positive quality has quite a few drawbacks.

So, here are five ways that trait can be a real disadvantage—and not just a false one you use to attempt to trick those unsuspecting hiring managers.
1. You Hold Yourself Back

As a perfectionist, I don’t want to do anything that I might not be instantly great at. I have absolutely no desire to put myself out there only to end up with a beet-red face and a bruised ego. It’s for this very reason that I haven’t gone golfing in years (sorry, Dad).

Listen, I know that nobody likes to set themselves up for defeat and embarrassment. But, holding yourself back from opportunities for growth, improvement, and learning in order to avoid potential humiliation isn’t recommended either. Constantly ranking being perfect ahead of being human is a surefire way to limit yourself both professionally and personally.

2. You Place Too Much Emphasis on the Wrong Things

When you’re so concerned with getting things just right, it’s all too easy to become obsessive. Before you know it, you’ve spent all of your time churning over minor details that really have no impact on the end result. Moreover, you likely had to sacrifice time spent elsewhere in order to remain completely fixated on those trivial and inconsequential minutiae.

Those hours you wasted agonizing over what exact fonts to use in that sales report? Well, they required you to pass up a happy hour with your co-workers—an outing that would’ve granted you the opportunity to build better relationships with your colleagues. And, guess what? In the end, that’s way more important than the subtle differences between Cambria and Times New Roman.

3. You Never Take Time to Celebrate Your Wins

Honestly, being a perfectionist is all consuming. I become tirelessly focused on polishing something within in an inch of its life, until someone finally forces me to move on and turn it in. And, once I get that task or project off my plate, I’m immediately moving onto the next thing.

The problem with this? I never take time to recognize my wins and successes. No matter what accomplishment I manage to get under my belt, I fail to acknowledge what a kickass job I just did. Refusing to reward myself and recognize a job well done? Well, it’s already led to total burnout on numerous different occasions.

Good day,
I have not just been following,I'm also very much interested. I have sent the mod. PM but I did not get any response.
Mr. IbnIbrhim, if you don't want to drop your number here,I can understand. But here is mine: 07045512183. Call me or something.
There are things I really want to know. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Thoni

You can send a message.

DON’T DO THIS!
Do not try to use a cotton bud, cover of pen, match-stick, feather, hair clip, or any such thing. These could push the insect farther inside, or even damage the ear.

DO THIS!
Lie down flat with the ear (accommodating the insect) facing upwards.

Get clean warm water or, preferably, oil — olive oil, “anointing” oil, groundnut oil, or baby oil — and pour slowly and gently into the ear. This should kill the insect. Even if you still could not get it out, at least you have stopped the irritating, ticklish, and sometimes biting activities of the insect! Now, go see a doctor!

You could also use a syringe (without its needle, of course) to briskly inject the warm water into the ear thereby flushing the insect out! Yes!

Good luck!
