• Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less.That describes the way many of us live today.We are doing more, but enjoying it less.And when that doesn't work, we get the problem.In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach.
  The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe.Satisfaction lies with less, not with more.Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek.
  Arthur Lindman, in his very effective book, "The Harried Leisure Class," described the uselessness of pursuing more.His research focused on what people did with their leisure time.He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time.But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them.Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety.That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year.
  Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this.The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago.It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more.
  If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me.How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on?
  The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things.The more I give up, the more I seem to gain.But words will never convince you.You must try it for yourself.

• You have been badly injured in a car accident.It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident.However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you.If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
  There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB and O.A simple test can indicate a person's blood type.Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood.Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.
  Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be trans fused carefully.Basically, A and B cannot be mixed.A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B.O can give to any other group, hence it is often called the universal donor.For the opposite reason, AB sometimes called the universal recipient.However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital.In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.
  There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality.Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O.The rarest is type AB.Other races have different percentages.For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.
