“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”– Annie Dillard Are you willing to spend a little time every day like most people won’t, so you can spend the better part of your life like most people can’t? Think about that question for a moment. Let it sink in. You ultimately become what you repeatedly do.

The findings indicate that customers shouldn’t put too much stock in these tests, at…
