Words of Wisdom

 I would like to share the gist of words of wisdom which a friend sent to me.

Our life on this earth is transient. Whatever we have in terms of property and wealth cannot be taken with us when we go to meet our Maker. We can donate some and leave some to our children and grandchildren, only some, not all of it.  For we don’t want them to live in anticipation of our demise to get their inheritance. We should not be afraid to spend money on ourselves.

We should leave our children to find their own path in life. We shouldn’t be their slaves, working so hard just to hand everything to them on a silver platter. There is more to life than working from the cradle to the grave. We should enjoy our money while we can for if we lose our health in obtaining wealth, what’s the point of it all?  We can’t enjoy life when we are terminally ill.

On the other hand we should not expect much from our children. They may be caring and loving but they have their own careers and commitments, often too busy to help us.  What can I say about uncaring children? Many old folks have been abandoned, whether at public hospitals, old folks’ homes or just pushed out of their homes into the streets!

Some children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to our wealth but when we need some help their attitude is that we have no claims to their money.

 So remember, middle-aged parents, don't trade in your health for wealth by working yourself to an early grave anymore... because for all your money, you may not be able to buy back your health...
                                                         
How much do we need?                                                   

                                   
As long as there’s enough food and enough money to spend, it’s good enough.

We shouldn’t worry about things that we can't change because it doesn't help and it may affect our health.

We have to create our own well-being and find our own happiness. Stay positive, be in good mood and think about happy things.  Enjoy the activities that we like and have fun doing and time will pass by happily every day. 

Regular exercise, exercising outdoors and a healthy diet plus the right attitude towards life will lead us closer to that four score and ten milestone which not many people have reached.
