There are 1000-year old trees in the mountain, but not many 100
year-old people…………….At the most, you live until 100 years old (only 1
in 100,000).
If you live until 90, you only have 10 years……..If you live until 80,
you only have 20 years.
Because you dont have many years to live, and you cant take along
things when you go, you dont have to be too thrifty…….Spend the money
that should be spent, enjoy what should be enjoyed, donate what you
are able to donate, but dont leave all to your children or
grandchildren, for you dont want them to become parasites.
Dont worry about what will happen after you are gone, because when you
return to dust, you will feel nothing about praises or criticisms.
Dont worry too much about your children for children will have their
own destiny and find their own way. Dont be your childrens slave
Dont
expect too much from your children. Caring children, though caring,
would be too busy with their jobs and commitments to render any help.
Uncaring children may fight over your assets even when you are still
alive, and wish for your early demise so they can inherit your
properties.
Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your
wealth; but you have no claims to their money.
60-year olds like you, dont trade in your health for wealth
anymore;………….Because your money may not be able to buy your
health………When to stop making money, and how much is enough (hundred
thousands, million, ten million)?
Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can only consume three
quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand of 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.
So 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 and longevity………….Dont worry about things that you cant change
because it doesnt help and it may
spoil your health.
You have to create your own well-being and find your own happiness;
As long as you are in good mood, 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, you will lose one day;…One day passes with happiness,
and then you gain one day.
In good spirit, sickness will cure; in happy spirit, sickness will
cure fast; in good and happy spirit; 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.
Above all learn to cherish the goodness around ……and FRIENDS… …..they
all make you feel young and "wanted"…without them you are surely to
feel lost!!
Wishing you all the best.
Please share this with all your friends who are 60 plus and those who will be 60 plus after some time.
