gifts



A good friend of mine presented me with a poster:

8 Gifts
Eight gifts that do not cost a cent:

Listening..

But you must really listen.
No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response.

Affection..

Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds.

Laughter..

Share articles and funny stories.

A written note..

A brief handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime.

A compliment..

A simple and sincere compliment can make someone's day.

A favour..

Go out of your way to do something kind.

Solitude..

Be sensitive to others.

A cheerful disposition..

Extend a kind word to someone.

    Sometimes a small gesture means a lot to the person receiving it!

Unfortunately, many products with low standards of quality have also been washed onto the market. How is it possible to separate the wheat from the chaff? One unmistakable criterium is certainly manufacture according to the international quality standard (GMP/ISO).This is not obligatory! However,only 5% of nutritional supplements are produced according to it - the FitLine® products are among them. Beyond this quality standard, we have developed our own standards t...
