The Secrets of Life

THE SECRETS OF LIFE IN SIX WORDS
BEFORE MIDDLE AGE: DO NOT FEAR
AFTER MIDDLE AGE: DO NOT REGRET

Enjoy Life While you Can

Do not wait till you cannot walk, just to be sorry and regret.
As long as it is physically possible, visit places you wish.

When there is an opportunity, get together with old classmates,
old colleagues and old friends.
The opportunity is not just about eating;
the concern is, there is not much time left.

Keep Out Of The Stock Market
When the prices are up, your blood pressure goes up too;
you wanted to buy, but you cannot get.
When the prices are down, you panic and you wanted
to sell, but no ne would buy.
Why not let the young ones have a chance?

Money in the bank may not be really yours.
When it is time to spend, just spend.
You should take control and treat yourself well.

Whatever you feel like eating, just eat.
It is more important to be happy.

There are two kinds of food.
1. Those that are good for health:
Eat much, eat more; but that is not everything.

2. Those that are not good for health:
Eat a little; eat once in a while.
Do not abstain from them totally.

Foods that you do not feel like eating or do not like,
you still need to eat them once in a while
just to balance your nutrition intake.

Treat sickness/illness with optimism.
Whether you are rich, poor, powerful or powerless,
everyone will have to go through the process of birth,
aging, sichness and death. There’s no exception. That’s life.

Do not be worried or afraid when you are sick.
Settle all the outstanding issues before hand when you
are well, including your feneral arrangements.
You will be able to leave this world anytime without regret.

Let the doctors handle your body.
Let God/Nature handle your life.
But be in charge of your own moods.

If worries can cure your sickness, then go ahead and worry.
If worries can prolong your life, then go ahead and worry.
If worries can echange for happiness, then go ahead and worry.

Our KIds Will Have Their Own Future

Things concerning our children and grandchildren:
We can listen with our ears;
We can see with our eyes;
Just do not open your mouth nor make any comments.

The principles are:
Do not say anything that are faultless.
Do not do anything beyond your ability to achieve.
If you are in a reactive situation, make your judgment
based on circumstances.
If your children and grandchildren are independent,
then it is your good fortune!

Look After Four Old Treasures

1. The old body – Pay more attention to information about health
care. You can only rely on your self to take care of
your own health.
2. The retirement funds – That is money you have earned.
It is best to keep them yourself.
3. The old companion – Treasure every moment with your other
half. One of you will leave first.
4. The old friends – Seize every opportunity to meet your friends.
Such opportunities will be rare as time goes by.

Do not panic when lights go off.
You can still see a lot of stars in the sky.

Three Things You Must Do Everyday

1. The first thing: Laugh.
2. The second thing: Smile.
3: The third thing: Laugh loudly and to your heart’s content.

A wonderful life will always find a wonderful reason.
The one who laughs last will have the sweetest laugh.

Be determined in doing an appropriate amount of exercise everyday.

Have sufficient sleep.

Maintain a cheerful and peaceful state of mind.
Instead of scolding people with a red face and swelling blood
vessels on the neck,
why not just adopt more gracious approaches? It will be less unruly.

Laugh a little. It will be like the sky and the ocean with no boundary.

There are always ups and downs in life.
Since you do not jump for joy when water vapor rises,
Why should you feel sad when it rises?
