He arranged for some consulting work from our old company, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. Soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. He wasnt making as much money. His kids were grownup, so he didnt need as much income. “As soon as I left that job，” he told me, “my back problems went away. I started to eat better and get more exercise, I make half as much money, but I feel twice as good, and Im twice as happy.”I decided to follow a similar track. At the time, my younger child almost finished college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. We sold our old house and moved into a townhouse. I went to work for myself. And the result? Today I, too, make less money. But we make ends meet. And I feel twice as good and twice as happy.Our experience isnt for everybody. But a lot of people have retired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. Jack, another friend, was a salesman for a communication firm. He had a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. He decided to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. Later, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health.

And while it might be the natural option when there isnt a box of tissues around, it can be bad for you. The main reasons why people feel the need to pick their nose are to clear it of dried liquid, stop an itch (痒), or just because it feels good. Boogers(鼻屎) form when dried liquid and cilium, the tiny hairs that line the nostrils(鼻孔), trap the dust, dirt, and other things. When boogers build up in your nose, it can be uncomfortable, and sometimes just blowing them into a tissue doesnt do_the_trick.Otolaryngologist Erich P. Voigt, MD, told Business Insider that picking your nose can cause injuries and bleeding within your nostrils. Thats not terribly damaging, but when the bacteria from your hands get into your body, it can cause a cold. So doctors strongly suggest not picking the nose.If dry winter air is causing the dirty liquid to harden in your nostrils, making you want to pick, consider damping the air at home, or taking a steam shower to soften things up in there.Children, who are most famous for having a finger in their nose, sometimes dont realize how much injury theyre causing, and sometimes it can lead to nose bleeding.So, next time you go to pick your nose, think about how many bacteria are on your hands and in your boogers, and maybe reach for a tissue instead. Even if youre alone, and not waiting for the light to turn green, please, use a tissue.【语篇解读】本文主要分析了人们抠鼻子的原因以及抠鼻子所带来的不良后果，并呼吁人们需要时用纸巾而不是用手指抠鼻子。12Why do people pick their nose?
