What's Wrong With Them
' No Use Crying Over Spilt Milk
 |
The Flaw
Crying helps people recover from disappointment.
True, it's dangerous to dwell on the past, but holding back those spilt milk tears could hurt even more.
A survey of more than 5,000 weepers in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology suggests that a good cry can provide resolution after pain respondents who tried to suppress their sobs only felt worse. Or, to put it in more lactose-tolerant terms, " Some times we should cry over spilt milk," writes Aaron Ben-Ze'ev, a philosophy professor at the University of Haifa in Israel,"Otherwise, How will we learn to value milk, and how will we avoid spilling it again?"

Pure As The Driven Snow
THE FLAW
Driven snow has been blown into drifts and remained untrodden-upon by human heels.
Sounds pure, but according to Canadian researchers, fresh white snow is a magnet for car exhaust pollution, absorbing enough toxins while 'driven' to become a health hazard if you were to drink enough of it. (Keep this in mind, 'yellow snow' jokesters.)

'You Catch More Flies with Honey than with Vinegar'
THE FLAW
Vinegar is a fly magnet. If you've ever endured a fruit fly invasion in your home, a bowl of vinegar was likely your first line of defence.
Pet researchers from Northwestern University, USA,"Adult Flies forage for microbes on overripe fruit, relying on their sense of smell to detect the acetic acid ( the chemical that gives vinegar it's pungent aroma) that accumulates as the fruit ferments."
The hungrier a fly gets, the quicker it succumbs to vineyards dubious charms.

'Low Man on the Totem Pole
THE FLAW
The opposite of chump, the low man is often the most admired. Vertical order on totem poles rarely denotes importance.
One thing the 'low man' almost always earns, though, is love from the career and hence the viewer."Most carvers begins from the bottom of the pole,moving gradually to the top,"writes Pat Kramer, author of Totem Poles , "Bottom figures are carefully detailed because observers see these figures close - up."

'Money Can't Buy Happiness
THE FLAW
Yes, it can. P armament happiness is fleeting no matter what your bank account looks like, but research shows money does, in fact, give you short-term bursts of joy - if you spend wisely. Experiences such as concerts or vacations have been shown to bring greater happiness than purchasing stuff.
Most important, people who spend money on others are measurably happier than those who spend on themselves. So do yourself a favour: Buy Happiness for someone else.

'Pick the low-Hanging Fruit First'
Lower fruit is often the last to ripen. "Fruit that is high up, exposed to the sun, ripens the fastest," says Gennaro Fazio, a plant breeder and geneticist for the US Department of Agriculture's Plant Genetic Resources Unit,"You want to pick the low-hanging fruit the last, so it has more time to develop." What's more, starting at the top makes the whole job easier, says apple-picking, veteran Henry Rueda: When pickers harvest from top to bottom,the sacks, of fruit they carry around their necks and shoulders grow heavier as they move downward, working with gravity not against it.
