Interesting things to know about the towel

How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut.  No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut).  Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori,  salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1.

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T GIVE UP

1. BECAUSE ANYTHING IS
POSSIBLE
I remember an old Adidas advert with a
theme “impossible is nothing”, and
really impossible is nothing. Anything is
possible, but it all starts with your mind.
2. YOUR DREAMS WOULD
MAKE THE WORLD
BETTER
Graham Bells is the father of
telephone, and today the world has
become a better place through
telephone and telecommunication. No
matter how little your dream is, it
would definitely make the world a
better place.
3. YOUR SUCCESS WOULD
INSPIRE OTHERS
When you don’t give up and then you
achieve your dreams, you would be a
source of inspiration to many other
people that you aren’t even aware of.
4. BECAUSE YOU ARE
STRONGER THAN YOU
THINK
A lot of people don’t know the strength
they have deep within; a lot of people
underrate and underestimate
themselves. But the truth is — you are
way stronger than you think.
5. IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO
SUCCESS
Giving up is the easy way to failure and
not giving up is a way to success.
6. A LOT OF PEOPLE NEED
YOU TO
A lot of people need you to be strong, a
lot of people need you to be successful
and a lot of people look up to you.
7. YOU WOULD BE HAPPY
Well, I haven’t seen anyone who wasn’t
happy with their success; success would
make you happy, and not giving up is an
important trait for success.
8. YOU ARE CLOSER THAN
YOU THINK
You are way closer than you think to
success; with every failure comes an
opportunity to learn, to improve, to be
better and to succeed. You are closer
than you think to success, but you
probably wouldn’t know this when you
give up.
9. BECAUSE YOU HAVE
DREAMS
You have dreams, you have goals and
you have a vision; don’t let it waste.
10. Do you know Lance Armstrong?
He was diagnosed with cancer
that had spread round his entire
body. He fought and overcame
the odds and went on to win the
Tour de France for six
consecutive years in a row.
Don’t give up! It’s the best advice you
could ever get.
