LIFE
Life is beautiful but not always easy, it has problems, too, and the challenge lies in facing them with courage, letting the beauty of life act like a balm, which makes the pain bearable, during trying times, by providing hope
Happiness, sorrow, victory, defeat, day-night are the two sides of the me coin. Similarly life is full of moments of joy, pleasure, success and comfort punctuated by misery, defeat, failures and problems. There is no human being on Earth, strong, powerful, wise or rich, who has not experienced, struggle, suffering or failure.
Life is wonderful - Jason Mraz
No doubt, life is beautiful and every moment – a celebration of being alive, but one should be always ready to face adversity and challenges. A person who has not encountered difficulties in life can never achieve success.
Difficulties test the courage, patience, perseverance and true character of a human being. Adversity and hardships make a person strong and ready to face the challenges of life with equanimity. There is no doubt that there can be no gain without pain. It is only when one toils and sweats it out that success is nourished and sustained.
Thus, life is and should not be just a bed of roses; thorns are also a part of it and should be accepted by us just as we accept the beautiful side of life.
The thorns remind one of how success and happiness can be evasive and thus not to feel disappointed and disheartened rather remember that the pain of thorns is short-lived, and the beauty of life would soon overcome the prick of thorns.
Those, who are under the impression that life is a bed of roses are disillusioned soon and become victims of depression and frustration. One who faces difficulties with courage and accepts success without letting it go to its head is the one who experience real happiness, contentment and peace in life.
Those, who think, that good times last forever, easily succumb to pressure during difficulties. They do not put in required hard work and efforts because they break down easily.
You can take the example of a student, who burns the mid night oil, makes sacrifices and resists temptations so that he can perform well. Similarly, a successful executive has to face the ups and downs of life, not forgetting that life is a mix of success and failure, joy and sorrow.
If he loses hope during difficult times, he would not achieve success and would be replaced by others. Even the strongest Kings and Emperors have had their cup of woes.
Life has not been a bed of roses for them. The adage ‘Uneasy lays the head that wears the crown’ has been rightly used for people, who are successful and are enjoying power and authority.
To sum up, life is beautiful just as roses but it has challenges which are like thorns and have to be faced and overcome by all. Those, who accept these, challenges and succeed, are the ones, who know how to live life in its true sense. Thus, enjoy life but also be prepared to bear the pricks of pain.

How Exercise Can Improve Your Sex Life
In the new book Fitter Faster ($17, amazon.com), health journalist Robert J. Davis and celebrity trainer Brad Kolowich, Jr. share one more excellent reason to break a sweat.
You’ve likely heard that regular exercise can reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or osteoporosis. But a growing body of research shows it may have another, more surprising effect: improving your sex life.
In men, regular exercise appears to be a natural Viagra. It’s associated with a lower risk of erectile problems. In one study, sedentary middle-aged men assigned to participate in a vigorous exercise program for nine months reported more frequent sexual activity, improved sexual function, and greater satisfaction. Those whose fitness levels increased most saw the biggest improvements in their sex lives.
Research in women has found that those who are physically active report greater sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction than women who are sedentary. In one unusual experiment, young women who did intense cycling for 20 minutes and watched an X-rated film showed greater physiological sexual arousal (as measured by a device that assesses vaginal blood flow) than subjects who did not exercise before seeing the film.

Increased blood flow helps explain why exercise leads to better sexual function in men as well. An enhanced self-image from exercise may play a role too. Men and women who exercise may be more likely to feel sexually desirable, which can lead to better sex. So can greater strength, flexibility, and stamina that result from exercise.
In addition, physical activity—especially strength training—can increase levels of testosterone, which may boost sex drive in men and women. However, overtraining can have the opposite effect by lowering testosterone levels. Indeed, a recent study
found that that men who do very vigorous exercise on a regular basis tend to have lower libidos. While this is a potential concern for elite athletes or others who push themselves to the max without adequate recovery, it’s not something that most of us need to worry about.

Work From Home increases Stress
Work from home, maaaring magdulot ng mas mataas na antas ng stress?
Wag over stressed at wag din under stressed!
"The benefit of Stress"
Stress can make you accomplish tasks more efficiently. - Ronald Garcia
__________________
Mula nang ipatupad ang community quarantine dulot ng COVID-19 pandemic, maraming empleyado ang work from home ngayon. Pero ayon sa isang pag-aaral, maaaring magresulta ng mas mataas na antas ng stress ang work from home set-up.
Sa ulat ni JM Encinas sa "Stand For Truth," sinabi sa isang pag-aaral ng United Nations International Labour Organization na maaaring maiugnay ang mataas na pagdepende ng isang empleyado sa kaniyang work tier tulad ng laptop at cellphone sa mataas na antas ng stress dahil nagiging habit ito at 'di na maiiwasan ang paggamit.
Bukod dito, problema rin sa empleyado ang kakulangan ng work structure sa isang work from home set-up dahil wala siyang mga limitasyon sa kaniyang mga ginagawa--pati na ang mga gawain sa bahay.
"It could be stressful kasi sometimes hindi na natin nari-realize 'yung boundaries natin between work and 'yung family set-up or household set-up. So minsan hindi mo alam napo-prolong mo 'yung time mo for working," paliwanag ni Assistant Secretary Nikki Tutay ng Employment Cluster ng Department of Labor and Employment.
Ayon kay Tutay, kailangan ng malakas na communication system, internet facility at signal lalo na sa mga BPO para sa isang maayos na work from home set-up.
Kung wala nito, ang isang empleyado ay maaari umanong mawalan ng focus at gana na mauuwi sa anxiety at depresyon.
Kadalasang sintomas ng stress sa isang empleyado ang madalas na pagliban sa trabaho, nawawala sa focus, hindi natatapos ang deadline, at laging pagod.
"Kapag under stressed tayo, ang ibig sabihin nito ay nasa relaxation or vacation mode tayo and dahil dito, mababawasan or mawawalan tayo ng motivation, ng drive, ng interest or ng willpower," sabi ng psychologist na si Dr. Randy Dellosa.
Patuloy niya: "'Pag over stressed naman tayo, siyempre pump nang pump ang sistema natin ng adrenaline para maka-cope tayo sa stress. And 'pag napagod na 'yung katawan natin sa pagpa-pump ng adrenaline, ang kasunod noon ay made-drain naman tayo ng energy."

On September 3, 1995, lahar flow from the slopes of Mount Pinatubo which erupted on June 15, 1991, buried the church at half its 12-metre (39 ft) height prompting its more than 50,000 town residents to evacuate to safer grounds in resettlement areas.
