╬ 1- Do what you believe is right
Remember, you are just as likely to fail if you do things someone else’s way. The difference is, you shall have that nagging feeling you know all along it was not the right way to go.
╬ 2-A good time to laugh is anytime you can
We are not suggesting laughing at other people’s miseries, but you can certainly laugh at your own. If you can not, you have to find other ways to survive, and they all sound a lot harder than laughing.
╬ 3-The best things in life are not things
You talk about health, love, friendship and most important, family. If you do not juggle family and career skillfully, the balance in your life is going to tilt toward your work. In the short term this may seem okay, but it’s not in end. You can always get another job, but you may not get another chance with your family.
╬ 4-If you want to stay young, do not mellow
The happiest older people are the ones who are still feisty, still active. Even reading the newspaper every day can do the trick by making you angry at what humans will do to one another. It is the notion of fighting that’s important here, of not accepting what you can change. As the saying goes, “old age is no place for sissies.
╬ 5-Always set a place for the unexpected guest
You cannot plan everything that is going to happen to you, but you should be prepared for it, because if you do not, you are going to be hurt badly in this world. My sister was amazed when she went for a checkup three months after my daughter was born and her doctor said, “of course, you are pregnant again, you know, “her son was not in plans, but he was a wonderful surprise guest.
You have to set a place for unexpected guests even if they are not so great,
like getting fired or having your husband leave you, both of which have happened to me. The “unwelcome” ones are not to accept, and some, such as cancer, you shall never greet with arms, but if you teach yourself to expect the unexpected. You are way ahead of the game.
