CHINESE ADVICE TO 50-YEARS OLD & OLDER
Because none of us have many
years to live, and we can't take along anything when we go, so we don't have to
be too thrifty. Spend the money that should be spent, enjoy what should
be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate
DON'T WORRY about what
will happen after we are gone, because when we return to dust, we will feel
nothing about praises or criticisms. The time to enjoy the worldly life and your
hard earned wealth will be over!
DON'T WORRY too much about your
children, for children will have their own destiny and should find their own
way. Care for them, love them, give them gifts but also enjoy your money or
what is left of it, while you can. Life should have more to it than working from
the cradle to the grave!!
50-year old's, don't trade in - your health for
wealth, by working yourself to an early grave any more. Because your money may
not be able to buy your health. When to stop making money, and how much
is enough? (A HUNDRED thousand, One million, ten million, One
billion?)
Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can consume
only three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand mansions, you only need
eight square meters of space to rest at night. So, as long as you have
enough food and enough money to spend, that is good enough. You should live
happily. Every family has its own problems.
Just DO NOT COMPARE with
others for fame and social status and see whose children are doing better etc., but challenge others for happiness, health, enjoyment, quality of life and
longevity. DON'T WORRY about things that you can't change because it
doesn't help and it may spoil your health.
You have to create your own
well-being and find your own place of happiness. As long as you are in good
mood and good health, think about happy things, do happy things daily and have
fun in doing, then you will pass your time happily every day.
One day
passes WITHOUT happiness, you will lose one day.
One day passes WITH
happiness and then you gain one day.
In good spirit, sickness will
cure; In a happy spirit, sickness will cure faster; in high and happy
spirits, sickness will never come. With good mood, suitable amount of
exercise, always in the sun, variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin and
mineral intake, hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years of healthy life
of pleasure.
ABOVE ALL -
Learn to cherish the goodness around ... like
your spouse and FRIENDS ... They all make you feel young and "wanted" ...
without them you are surely to feel lost !!
Wishing you all the best for
the years to come.
