| Biolab Supplies with Logical Prices! | February 2008 | ||||||||||||||
|
Dear Colleagues, I hope everyone is staying warm during the cold winter season, with the exception of you who are in the southern-most states. It is bitterly cold here in Kansas now, but it's the perfect opportunity to bundle up, and stay warm by a crackling fire with a hot cup of cocoa. That's the best part of winter for me. Yet soon enough the season's will be changing again. As I previously mentioned, Biologix will be seeing many changes in 2008. By now, many of you have seen our new 2008 pricing. We have heard some wonderful feedback from our customers that you are thrilled we have lowered the price on many lines of our products. We are delighted that we have the opportunity to lower the prices even further for you as well. This just follows along with our business philosophy to keep our lab supply prices as low as possible so our customer benefits the most. Coming in later March, you will all receive a new, improved Biologix catalog! Within this catalog, you will receive our 2008 price list as well. Our new catalog will include all the newest products Biologix offers, and we will continue to send you updated versions of this catalog throughout the year. But don't throw away that first edition binder catalog just yet, as you still have another month before you receive the newest version! With a new catalog coming out, a new pricelist, and new products on the way, you have much to look forward to this year with Biologix. We hope to see many of you at Pittcon in New Orleans March 3 rd -6 th , 2008! Biologix will be at booth #1336 so feel free to stop by and see our new, larger booth! Sincerely, Winston Lee |

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he'd admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. On graduation morning, the young man's father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with his name embossed in gold on the cover. “With all your money,” he said angrily, “you give me a Bible?” He stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible behind. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. He thought of his father often, and how he hadn't seen him since that graduation morning. Then one day he received a telephone call telling him his father had passed away. His father had willed all of his possessions to his son, and he was asked to come immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still-new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he did so, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer with the sports car he'd desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words Paid in Full. Are you missing out on blessings because you're focused on how they're wrapped? |

Shared learning – from table manners and social skills to family values and basic cooking skills.

Do you ever find your mind wandering when someone is talking to you? No, you're not abnormal and you don't have attention deficit disorder. Most people speak at an average rate of about 120 words a minute, but most people can listen about four times faster. So, your mind fills in the gaps by thinking of other things. Be aware of this and try to “slow down” your listening. Work on staying focused, so you can really comprehend everything the speaker is saying. |

A policeman watched the car go zooming by and run right through a four-way stop sign. In response, the policeman turned on his lights and pulled the motorist over. As the policeman began to write the ticket, the motorist protested. “What are you doing?” he said. “You can't give me a ticket for that!” “Why not?” the officer asked. “It's true, I didn't stop,” the motorist admitted. “But I did slow down – and that's almost the same.” “But you didn't stop,” the officer said. “And the sign clearly says ‘STOP.'” “But it was clear. Nothing was coming,” the motorist replied. As the motorist continued arguing, the officer glanced up from his writing. “Do you want me to slow down,” he asked, “or STOP?” |
How often do you say, “If only I had more time…”? Well, in February, you do! 2008 is a Leap Year, and that means 29 days in February instead of 28. If you're over 12 you've been through enough Leap Years not to give them much thought, but do you know why Leap Years are a part of our lives? If you're curious, you can spend a few minutes on the Internet learning about the whys and hows of Leap Year. Better yet, why not spend few minutes planning how you'll use this gift of extra time? For instance…

Life Is Often The Best Teacher
The vicissitudes of life and the workplace are sometimes our best teachers. Often the lesson comes from words spoken at the right time and in the right way from someone in the know, which can lead us to a solution we couldn't see before we experienced the difficulty. Many philosophies and religions postulate that life usually teaches what we need to know. Keeping an open mind is important when you're struggling with a particularly difficult problem. A person, event or experience can put you in the realm of learning if you stay open to what you can learn. Hence the adage, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” So, don't be intimidated when a problem arises. Instead, ask yourself what can be learned from the situation at hand. |
