According to Dr. Fredrick Koenig of Tulane University, "The first hour of day sets your behavior for rest of day." Both he and Dr. Robert Calmes of University of Arizona identified several early-morning types. Here is a listing of their types and a brief interpretation of each. Which one are you?

* The Bounce-out-of-bedder: You are optimistic, cheerful, gregarious, and emotional.

* The Everybody-get-upper: You are practical, impartial, and energetic.

I came across something that I thought would be interesting to contemplate. The author of this article, entitled Things to Rememberanonymous.

According to Will Rogers, "None of us is smart enough to remember everything he knows. We need reminding." With that in mind, here are twelve things to remember:

1. The value of time, meaning not wasting it on activities that do nothing to help us grow and bring enjoyment.

2. The success of perseverance. That's an important one. Perseverance can accomplish almost anything.

3. The pleasure of working. Working is a pleasure when we do it because we want to, not because we have to.

4. The dignity of simplicity. The simpler it is, easier it is.

5. The worth of character is one thing each of us can build for ourselves. It gives value to our life.
