A Mind of My Own

Sometimes, I wonder if females, the so-called weaker sex, earn more or males earn more. A quick search shows that men earn more than women. See, the top 10 richest people in the world are men in 2006. M E N! And China, ah, the growing powers of their rich. Seems that they are catching up with their Western counter parts. And Miss Yang Huiyan, just 26, inherited her billions due to her father. In the end, it’s the man yet again.

The list of billionaires are predominantly men. What about Singapore’s list then? Ah ha! Still mostly men! So this little research of mine shows that men earn more despite their late start into their careers. Don’t complain if you have to “waste” 2 years of your youth in NS. Because ultimately, men earn more in the long run.

This is getting serious. Men will have the higher chance of erectile dysfunction when they smoke a pack daily. You want to have kids but you are suffering from being unable to maintain your erection due to the nicotine circulating in your blood cells and lungs.

In fact, emerging research shows that men with a pack-a-day habit are almost 40 percent more likely to struggle with erectile dysfunction than men who don’t smoke.

“Smoking delivers nicotine and other vasoconstrictors that close down the blood vessels” of the penis, explained Dr. Jack Mydlo, chairman of urology at Temple University School of Medicine and Hospital in Philadelphia.

It’s no laughing matter when you truly want to have your own family but unable to sustain it when it’s at the most critical time. While this report is from America, it doesn’t mean that men from any other countries are safe from this issue. You won’t want your wife to leave you just because you can’t quit smoking.

You can quit smoking but not quit making life. Health is wealth despite “Money makes the world goes round”. Money won’t help you when you have cancer in the advance stages, ED, or other illnesses that have no medications for them.

Sure, there are ED medications but if an erection lasts for more than 4 hours, it can also cause permanent impotence.
