Kindness is not something to keep to yourself, pass it on to others.

In general, people in the modern era are more likely to talk than to listen. In the age of unlimited amounts of instant information, so many of us have adopted the belief that we are experts at everything and have opinions to cover any subject whether we know what we are talking about or not.

The modern cost of living has shot up substantially over the last few years. For those willing to relocate, there are a number of low-cost areas in the United States where local municipalities will actually pay people to move there as well as offering other benefits.

A natural element that affects all airplanes, regardless of size and power, is the wind in the atmosphere, especially at high altitudes. In short, if the wind is at your back, the time to destination will be shorter than normal. If the wind is in front of you, the time to destination will be longer than usual. Simple physics. This reality becomes most apparent during the winter months when the wind currents in the jet-stream tend to be strongest.

Be careful of judging people and things too quickly. Everyone can be a critic, but it’s better to seek solutions rather than constantly finding fault.

Some people fear the unknown and reject new ideas out of reflex because of the need think to critically, which requires extra effort. Take a step outside of your convenient comfort zone to get a perspective that may actually improve your life, if you are willing to take the trouble to look at things from a different angle.

Everyone is interested in life extension. Changing a few habits, just a little can yield great benefits. Small improvements in sleep, diet and exercise can give you a better chance of a sustained healthy life as you age.

Although no longer flying, the SR-71 Blackbird flown by the U.S. Air Force and the civilian Central Intelligence Agency was a plane like no other. It was developed to be a fast, high altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Flying near the edge of space, and taking photographs of sensitive areas, its primary defensive tactic was to simply fly away faster than any missile actively tracking it whenever threatened.
