Don´t keep smiling!

German scientists found out that forced smiling can cause serious health problems. I think, in fact, we knew this already.
Has the German service sector ever been famous for its overwhelming friendlyness?

If you are treated unfriendly by a shop assistant next time, just remember the study and say to yourself:
He/she is just doing health care!

Will we all be old and poor?

A recent study has shown that there is a growing fear of poverty among the Europeans because of too low pensions and more flexible biographies of employment. It seems to be obvious that additional private activity is necessary for each of us. Once, a German politician said: "Die Rente ist sicher!" (Pensions are certain.) He must hear himself being called a liar now.

How do you want to live after your retirement? Do you think you will have enough money to realize what you´re dreaming of?
