BUYING A TABLE
A rectangular table is most efficient but a round table is more friendly. On the other hand, round tables take up more space and their linens are more costly.

Unless you're in a very crowded space, don't move closer than four feet to a pretty girl without making eye contact first and receiving a welcoming response. Any closer may seem like you're rushing her.

BALANCING YOUR PORTFOLIO
The amount of your portfolio that should be invested in stocks depends on your age. As you get older, less of your savings should be in the stock market. The conservative rule is to find the right percentage is to subtract your age from 100. A slightly more aggressive approach is to subtract your age from 120.
