INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You don't have to go this road alone. Even if you don't make business partnerships with your loved ones (which can be a smart idea), you can lean on these people in the beginning (and later, when times are hard). Family and friends can offer powerful emotional support during your entrepreneurial journey. When you're stressed to your limit, this support can make the difference between pushing yourself to succeed and throwing into the well.  Talk to your family and make sure they agree with your overall business plan, because you may, at times, have to tax your family's resources, time, money, health, and nerves. It's only fair that they know what they're getting in to. After becoming the boss in your business life, you may feel the temptation to become bossy at home, too. Don't act on this temptation. Keep your business concerns and your family concerns separate - make a rule that you won't discuss your business at dinner, for instance. Having sound knowledge of commercial law (especially contract law, tax law, and the legal requirements for running a small business) is a valuable skill for an entrepreneur to have. If possible, it's a great idea to familiarize yourself with these areas of law, before starting your business. If you're truly confident in these areas of law, you can save money, you, otherwise may have had to spend on legal counsel. You'll also spare yourself from serious headaches when trying to decipher complex business and tax documents.  However, if you're  not  familiar with the law, get help. The money you spend on a lawyer can save you many times your initial investment, for instance, by preventing you from getting into damaging contracts. If you lose your health, you may lose it all. A healthy body, mind, and soul are vital to success as a business owner. Especially in the beginning, the hours may be  very  long and the work may be  very  hard. Still, you should always try to devote reasonable amounts of time to exercise, sleep, and "down-time." Treat these things with the value they deserve - they keep you healthy and sane. Remember, if you're incapacitated, you can't run your business. Try to get income protection insurance, especially if your job is one with a risk of injury - a self-employed person cannot afford to lose income to this possibility. Do all things in moderation. Live life with a sense of balance, even when you're starting a business with barely a cent in the bank.  Losing your perspective in life will make you poorer in the long run (emotionally - not necessarily financially), so it's never a risk worth taking.  Never miss a night’s sleep. Don't work yourself to death. Always devote time to your family, your hobbies, and, of course, yourself. Your life should be a source of joy and passion - not just an opportunity to work. Additionally, you should never rely on drugs to aid your performance ability or to replace your regular healthy eating and exercise plans.  This will, in the long run, break you down and cause you to make irrational, emotional decisions which are never a good thing in business.

SUMMARY: Rely on your family, friends, and loved ones. Know your rights. Look after your physical, mental and emotional state. Get the work-life balance right.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: As this is a delicate situation, phrasing things using "I"-statements can help reduce tension as you place the focus on your feelings. Begin with "I feel..." and state your feeling. Then, explain the behavior that led to that feeling and why you feel the way you do.  Don't come into the situation and say something like, "It's hurtful that you're so flirtatious with your ex and it makes me insecure." This can sound hostile. Instead, calmly rephrase the above sentiment using an "I"-statement. For example, say, "I feel uncomfortable when you're very touchy and affectionate with your ex because it makes me feel like the two of you still have feelings for each other." After explaining your feelings, be direct and matter of fact about what you want. Remember, there is no guarantee she will be receptive. It's probably better to ask her to lessen contact or tone down interactions than demand she not talk to him at all.  Say something like, "I would feel more comfortable if the two of you didn't talk as much, or if you toned down some of the physical affection, especially in my presence." Asking your girlfriend to change her relationship with someone is a very sensitive topic. It's important your girlfriend has a chance to share how she feels as it is still her decision. After making your case, let her respond without interrupting her.  Give non-verbal cues to show you're listening, such as maintaining eye contact and nodding on occasion. It can also help to paraphrase what she's said to make sure you understand. For example, say, "So, you feel like the relationship is still important because the two of you were friends before you dated. Is that what you're saying?" Yelling, making accusations, calling names, and being otherwise hostile is not going to help the situation.  It can be hard to stay calm during a confrontation, but take some deep breaths. Remember, you're trying to improve your relationship and not start a fight. You're talking about a situation that is occurring right now. You are not discussing the past or other issues, so do not bring these things up. This is likely to make your girlfriend feel judged and get defensive. It's very unlikely your girlfriend will flat out agree to stop speaking to someone as in this you are asking them to break bonds with someone else and this can be a large thing to ask. Therefore, you need to be willing to compromise. Find a solution where you both get what you want to some degree. For example, you could agree to let your girlfriend stay friends with her ex. She could agree to set firmer boundaries and be less physically affectionate with him. This could be a win-win situation for both of you!
Summary: Explain your feelings with "I"-statements. Be matter of fact. Give her a chance to talk. Remain calm. Stay in the present. Be willing to compromise.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The most common way to use olive oil to remove scars is to simply massage it into your skin. Use only a drop or so of olive oil and apply it to troublesome areas.  Move your finger tips in small circles to massage the oil into scarred skin. Use deep pressure and massage for 4 to 5 minutes. Once your skin's pores absorb some of the olive oil, use a clean paper towel to wipe the excess oil off your skin. Repeat this process again. When you finish for the second time, let the oil sit on your skin for 15 to 20 minutes. Do this twice a day and see if you see any improvement. If you're mainly worried about scars on your face, you can try using a facial steam to clear your skin. Facial steams are fairly easy to do at home with only a few supplies and they work by opening the pores to release sweat and debris. This can help the overall health of skin and lessen the appearance of scars.  Put a pot of water on the stove and wait for it to steam. Do not allow the water to get so hot it's boiling, however, as this can burn your skin. Just wait until it's producing steam. Add a few drops of olive oil to the water and stir. Wrap a towel around your head and lean over the pot. Keep your face about 18 inches away from the water. Any closer could cause discomfort. Stand over the steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Then, remove the towel and wipe off your face, neck, and shoulders. You can make a scrub using olive oil to exfoliate your skin. This can remove the dead skin cells that cause scars, resulting in smoother looking skin.  Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with a tablespoon of olive oil. Rub this onto your skin using your fingertips, paying special attention to any acne scars. Rub for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then, use a wet cloth to wipe the mixture from your face.

SUMMARY:
Massage olive oil into your skin. Steam. Exfoliate.
