 You
should try to eat at least three to five servings of
vegetables every day. A serving is any of the following:
1/2 cup chopped vegetables, a cup of salad, 6 to 8 baby
carrots, etc. Vegetables are very valuable in our diet
because they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
In addition, they also contain antioxidants and
phytochemicals, which have been shown to prevent cancer,
heart disease, strokes, and other diseases.

Confident of success
 No
one is ever assured of success. Every undertaking
carries with it some risk. Yet even though there is no
assurance of success, some people are confident enough
to get started. Some of those are confident enough to
keep going in the face of obstacles and disappointments.
And some of those are confident enough to persist until
the success is actually achieved.
Where does confidence come from? It comes from
experience. Being confident comes as a result of acting
confident. What would you do today if you were confident
of success? Do it. What first step would you take? Take
it. How would you sit, how would you walk, how would you
greet other people, how would you act if you were
confident of success?
Act that way and the confidence will come. Yes,
confidence takes a little blind faith at first. Soon
enough, however, that confidence becomes real, supported
and confirmed by actual experience. Act confident and
you'll begin to be confident. Be confident and you'll
have what it takes to bring your goals into reality.
