Will Looking Younger Help You Keep Your Job? Try Facial Exercise!

Facial plastic surgery does not boost your career.

Brains, desire for achievement, willingness to succeed as well as looking young, healthy, serene and fresh boosts your career. 

 Career advancement has long been linked to owning a handsome or pretty face; it is well documented that if you are one of those people who make the bigger strides in today's business climate, you probably are above average looking and stand over 5'9" tall.

 The face matters.

 Ever look in the mirror and see how age is affecting your face?  Does it show the ravages of time, disappointment, stress and tiredness?  Could this look affect your job performance and how people view your ideas?

 Of course it does!

Looking fit, hearty and able-bodied goes a long way to shape your self-confidence as well as your image.   Remaining competitive in the workplace requires that you take care of yourself; this means relearning dietary habits if you've been a junk food junkie, working out regularly to maintain or create a slimmer physique and learning a facial exercise routine that keeps your face in much better shape.

 Just as you exercise your body in the gym with Pilates, yoga, aerobics and weight training, you can apply the same principles to retrain your facial muscles.

 This means you can use facial exercise to substantially correct flaws like hooded eyes, sagging cheeks, jowls, pouches, the dreaded wattle and more, making facial plastic surgery unnecessary if your goal is to look 10-15 years younger.

 You may wonder why this successful aging technique has been discounted, maligned, pooh-poohed and buried.   Perhaps it is because a discovery like this, a facelift without surgery, drugs, sutures, pain, risk, disfigurement, injections, strings or electricity, could put the drug companies and docs out of business almost overnight.

 You see, something natural, something that doesn't require intervention or administration by a physician or medical professional may seem too good to be true; after all, we have brainwashed via countless articles, advertisements and flyers in offices to believe that surgery and injections will provide us with a new face – one that will transform our image and confidence as we navigate the ladder of success.

 Choosing surgery and injections over a natural regimen such as facial exercise may not provide the results you are seeking.  Even though surgical strides have greatly improved over the last one hundred years, it is not fool-proof and there are tremendous risks and complications that prevail.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons discloses that eye lid surgery is the fourth most common surgical procedure.  The average cost for eye lid surgery, cutting both eye lids, excising the extraneous tissue and then suturing the lids runs about $3500.

 Scheduling and paying for surgery is the easy part but recuperation is another story.  There are pitfalls and risks with every cosmetic and plastic procedure.

Do not be confused; exercise is natural and safe while surgery and injections always carry a degree of risk.  There are no risks using exercise.  

 Looking ten years younger is the goal for most plastic procedures although we have all seen procedures on celebrities and others that fell short of helping the patient look younger, rather all that was accomplished was that it was evident that something was altered and it isn't exactly working.

 Surgically altered eye lids can look misshapen, they may tear uncontrollably for a long time and they may appear red and irritated. 

 Eye lid surgery does not stop the forehead from lengthening. Eye lid surgery is temporary.  As the forehead muscle weakens and elongates due to atrophy, this downward motion affects the distance between the eye brows and the eyelashes so it's quite possible that revision surgery will be recommended in less than a few years as the eyelids again begin to hood.

Learning and using exercise to strengthen your forehead and lift your eye brows puts you in the driver's seat.  In hardly anytime at all, you will see results as the forehead tightens and the eye brows lift. 

Isolating the muscles and muscle groups throughout the face then applying the resistance techniques will sculpt and contour, lift and tighten sagging facial muscles that create the look of old.

 Using exercise means there are no mistakes, no tell-tale sutures, no recovery times, no big dollars out of pocket and no risk to your good health.  Using exercise means you look refreshed, toned and healthy with a face that looks 5-10-even 15 years younger!

Your career advancement is firmly in your grasp with an all natural, no risk, inexpensive yet priceless technique that keeps you looking younger.

Trends in the Aviation Industry: Coping With Change

On a brisk winter Thursday morning, December 17th, 1903, for the first time ever, Wilbur and Orville flew the Wright Flyer, the world’s first powered flight. It was a dream come true for the tenacious brothers. It was the beginning of consumer aviation history.

It’s been 100 years now, but after deregulation of 1978, and industry consolidation of the 1980s, we’re facing some major changes in the airline industry, most importantly, the purchase of airline tickets through travel agencies, the rise of low-cost carriers and changes in the airline hub-and-spoke route patterns.

Online travel sites and low-cost carriers have definitely made flying affordable for hordes of travelers, with far reaching impact on our travel decision patterns.

Ahoy! Cost Cutting

Okay, guess how many internet users we have worldwide. Reports and surveys show that over 1 billion people are glued to the internet everyday! The advent of direct airline ticket sales, on both individual airline and discount travel web sites have brought huge transformations in the marketing and selling of air tickets. Whether it’s American Airlines, or United Airlines, Lufthansa or any other airline on earth, booking air tickets is just a mouse click away!

For instance, in 2002, over 39 million Americans booked travel using travel web sites. Did you know that this was a 25% increase from 2001?! Such exponential growth of online bookings have resulted in considerable cost savings for airlines. For example, purchasing a Northwest Airlines ticket through a travel agent costs $30. A ticket sold online costs just about $10. Hence, distribution and selling costs have been reduced by one-third to less than 10% of an airline's total costs.

What’s the Benefit for Customers?

It’s an easy guess now that price reductions in fares are the benefit of purchasing airline tickets online. Price transparency demands that airlines acclimate to more price-conscious consumers. After all, most of us shop around and compare price options and fares across different airlines. Added to this, the cut-throat competition and increasing knowledge about surrogate flights, and airfares continue to drop.

Cost Cutting and In-flight Services

How does cost cutting affect in-flight services? An obvious outcome is the number of dwindling airlines providing amenities such as in-flight meals and other standard services. Many of the airlines that used to offer fresh and healthy meals at no additional expense are now selling snacks and meals on board. So, while flying Midwest Airlines, we purchase deli-style breakfast, lunch and dinner selections on board.

There is one upside, individual entertainment systems and data ports are becoming increasingly available to consumers. So, it’s easier for us to stay connected while in the clouds!

Implications of the Hub-and-Spoke System

We know how important the hub (main airports) are. But, so much reliance on one airport can have significant implications for both consumers and airlines. For example, a severe weather disturbance may paralyze a large airline's entire operation. This might result in flight delays, and greater demand for direct flights (versus layovers), especially business class flyers with tight deadlines. Also, greater frequency of flights between two hub markets might lead to increased airfares. Say, if we have a higher frequency of British Midland flights between London and New York, chances are that British Midland airfares between the two hubs will see a sharp rise.

Future Trends

In 2001, commercial airlines carried 450 million passengers. This is a whopping 250% increase since deregulation in 1978. According to predictions, over the next 20 years air travel will increase threefold. An interesting prediction is that about 70% of flights will be operated from just 25 airports, many of which, such as New York and Heathrow, are already so congested they can't accommodate more planes. Under these circumstances, the only solution lies in using larger carriers to accommodate more passengers. The doubled-deck, four-engine, 555-capacity Airbus A380 has already been tested and is scheduled to start operations in late 2007.

Aviation is going through another historical change. Bigger airplanes to carry more passengers, cheaper flights and fewer airports. 10-years from now, I wonder how we’ll reflect on this time.
