Madonna's quotes

“Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.”

“A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.”

“Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done.”

“I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.”

“When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.”

Get 30 minutes of exercise every day

Regular physical activity decreases the risk of death
from heart disease, lowers the risk of developing
diabetes, and is associated with a decreased risk of
colon cancer. It also helps prevent high blood pressure
and helps you lose weight and keep it off.

• Think of yourself as an active person.

• Make physical activity a part of your everyday routine.
Go for brisk walks. Ride a bike. Dance. Do chores
around the house and in the yard. Take the stairs
instead of the elevator. Rake leaves.

• Get 30 minutes of activity that makes you breathe
harder, on most or all days of the week. If you can’t be
active for 30 minutes all at once, get at least 10
minutes of endurance activity at a time.

Make the most of your commute

Use your commuting time to relax, feel good, and
make the transition from home to work and back.

• Listen to books on tape. You might listen to a novel,
language tapes, or an inspirational recording. Many
public libraries have audio books.

• Be a discriminating listener. Avoid radio shows that
make you feel annoyed and that waste your time.

• Spend some time in silence. Revisit your day, think
about what’s ahead, and spend time in your thoughts.

• If possible, commute with someone you like one or
two days a week.

• If you can, take public transportation. Use the time to
read and reflect on your day.
