9 - What the hell is this stuff in my belly button??

This post will be a little bit off topic (euphemism); I've always talked about achievements, goals and career in the previous posts. Here I'm gonna explain and demonstrate with a scientific method one of the most important problem which afflicts all the men of the earth. Yes, I'm talking about the cotton fluff which finds its lodge in our navel.
After some reserach on Internet, I found an article in a newspaper, which was written in the 2009, where it can be read that a chemist, Georg Steinhauser, after 3 years, discovered the solution of the button fluff problem. He observed that the piece of cotton that most of the men find at the end of the day in their navel, is strictly related to the nature of their hair. In fact, our scaly structure of the belly hair behaves as a hook and brings the stray cotton from our t-shirt and jumper (or whatever garment) to the navel. Moreover, the lint is composed even of sweat, dust and flecks of dead skin (wow!!).
 
Anyway, there's a solution!
The chemist discovered that a first solving of the problem consists of shaving our belly hair, even if the cotton fluff will come back when the hair itself will grow back.
Otherwise, wearing old clothes, instead of new garments, decreases the formation of the enemy in the belly. Finally, a piercing in that zone of the body, like a ring for instance, allows to sweep away the feared lint from the navel.
 
Eventually, I want to cite a curiosity: Mr Barker won a place in the Guinness book of the Records for the world's largest collection of navel cotton beacuse since 1984 he has kept his button fluff in a jar!

8 - Bob's your uncle

In the last few days something very unusual's happened, interrupting my daily/weekly routine, like a breaking news interrupts a serial or a show in tv to announce that a tornado or a meteorological event is occuring in a certain city or town (for instance the last tornando near Oklahoma). I've been the witness of an evidente case of depression or, most probably, double personality. I'm not an expert on the topic, but I believe that what I've been involved in, under a particular point of view, it could be connected at the main issue which has been treated in the book I've been reading.
I'm going to try to gather all the informations and the facts that I know in this post to explain how and why I reached the conclusion that what it happened is strictly correlated to "Pshyco- cybernetic".

A person whom I deal with has usually different behaviours during the day appearing as a really genuin and nice person sometimes and as a selfish and annoying individual in other moments. I didn't know how this was possible but a complex idea had been developed in my mind: I thought that this behavior was linked to the lackness of a stable relationship and, in particular and most important, to the need of a friendship which it didn't exist (as far as I know it still doesn't exist). Unfortunately, the actions of this person have been influencing all the people around him/her, because it's not possible to be indifferent and let these sleeping dogs lie. Consequently, every morning I don't leap out from the bed but I'm very reluctant to wake up, put my face on(!) and go to work (for the record, my relationship with this person has started because of my job).
Sometimes I don't feel really comfortable but clumsy, for the simply reason that I know and I'm conscious that I'm gonna face with an unstable person and I should draw upon my best thoughts and my wit to approach and deal with him/her (from now on, for simplicity, I'm gonna refering to this person as he)

However, in the last days, as I mentioned above, the whole situation is gettin worse, if it's possible. The concern is that the subject has been showing a side of his character and nature that he's never brought out before. It seems that there's an enormous hole inside himself. A past where shortcomings and inadequacies had been involved; weaknesses and sadness are still present in his daily life, cleverly covered with a good attitude and many attempts to hide the deficiences of his past.
I don't want to be involved in his problem but neverthenless I've build a theory about his life which could be strictly correlated to the Psycho-cybernetic. In fact, I believe that this person, further the lack of love from his family and the lack of a good friendship, had tried to push himself too much and, recklessy, the final result achieved is completely far away from the goal that he wanted to accomplish. He did something that he shouldn't have done and nowadays all the wrong achievements are clear, at least from my point of view.
He has a really good business, he's pushed himself to believe that all his clients are, at the same time, his friends, but the truth is completely different: he doesn't have a friendship that can be defined as such. He's completely alone. In my opinion, he wanted to forget his family and the pains of his past but in the wrong way. His self machine wasn't able to work beacuse the person himself steered the rudder in the wrong direction and put too much effort to achieve what he thought was the right goal for him.
Unfortunately, the attempt of running a business has been achieved but, even if this represents the upside of the concern, the downside is much more bigger and worse: he forgot to enjoy his life with carefree, to take delight from every single day without thinking about his goals; unwittingly, this behavior implied the worst of the situation; a life without a stable and trustworthy friendship as well as the incompetence to deal with his feelings.
