Problem: Article: In a small bowl, place a cup of lukewarm water and a tablespoon of salt. Dip a cotton ball or swab into the solution and then apply it to the injured lip. It will sting or burn slightly. Repeat as desired. The salt will help to reduced inflammation and counter infection in the split area. In a small bowl, place three teaspoons of turmeric powder. Add teaspoons of water until a thick paste forms. Use a cotton swab to apply this paste directly onto the split. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes and then rinse off with cool water. The turmeric helps to kill off any nasty bacteria in the wound. Be aware that as your lip heals it will be particularly sensitive to salty, spicy, or citrusy foods. Stay away from orange juice or hot wings, for example, unless you want to experience some stinging. Eating these items may also cause the lips to swell up again, which can extend the healing process. The more that you lick the area, the more that it will dry out and crack. You may also create a cold sore within, or next to, the split. Try to avoid the temptation to pick at or explore the injured area with your fingers, too. You could deepen the wound or introduce it to harmful bacteria. If the cut begins to redden or increases in soreness after your initial treatment, then reach to your doctor, as you could have an infection. Or, if your teeth are increasingly painful, then talk with your dentist, as you could have sustained a dental injury. A medical professional can also help you if you are suffering from persistent mouth dryness and cracked lips.
Summary: Dab with a saline-soaked cotton ball. Apply a turmeric paste. Avoid irritating foods. Keep your fingers and tongue away. Talk with your doctor or dentist.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: At the company you work for, you will have a specific job role and this ishow you make the company money. If you can't do your job well, you will lose customers and you may become a liability, meaning that you lose the company money. To ensure you do your job well, you must learn how to do it to the company's standards. Learn from other employees, get a mentor, enroll in training courses and be eager to learn as much as you can. The results you get at work are ultimately what you will be judged on. This is the most important part. The whole reason the company employs you is to perform inthis job role. Do it correctly and do it well. Self-improvement and networking are important, but if your performance slips because of them, you won't be doing yourself any favors. Think about the company's return on investment (ROI) on you. How much money are you making for them in relation to your salary? Doing so will help frame your contributions and help you find ways to increase your measurable value. Organize your tasks from most critical to least. When you've determined the most important 20 percent of your tasks, mark them separately from the rest. Spend the majority of your time and effort working on these, leaving the others to be completed quickly when you need to. This will allow you to do your best work on the most important tasks, rather than spreading yourself thin over both critical and non-critical tasks. Valuable employees don't stop working when the clock strikes five o'clock. If you have work to do on a project, stay later and get what you can done after hours. When you go home, bring your work with you and get it done around family time. Always be ready to respond to after-hours emails as well. This extra effort will get you noticed as a hard worker. Understand that this work is not overtime, which requires additional pay, but simply additional work with no expectation of additional pay. Going the extra mile should also apply to the quality of your work. Some people do a good joband leave it there, whereas others will offer to do extra. For example, some employees will offer to mentor, train new employees and suggestmore efficient working procedures.Consider organizing charity and social events that bring company employees together and contribute to the community. Doing so will improve your reputation and the reputation of your company at the same time. Companies often want their workers to be "self-starters," and for good reason. Employees who see problems and take the initiative to fix them save their bosses time and work by not waiting to be asked to fix that problem. Don't ask for approval before starting additional work or carrying out a customer request; just do it. If you have an idea of something that could add value to the company, approach your manager about it. A valuable employee is one that can be counted on to consistently meet and exceed the demands of their position and managers. Provide reliable work and consistently meet your deadlines to gain the reputation of being a responsible employee. Responsibility also extends to your mistakes. When you mess up, own it by admitting the error and taking responsibility, then immediately working to find a solution. Overall, work to gain a reputation as someone your employer can count on.

SUMMARY: Exceed expectations. Prioritize tasks. Go the extra mile. Become a self-starter. Be responsible.
