While you are alive, don't worry about what others will think or say about you - just do what you believe is right without paying much attention to praise and criticism.

 

Don't worry about what will happen after you are gone, because when you return to the dust, you will feel nothing about praise or criticism.


Don't worry too much about your children for children will have their own destiny and find their own way.

 

Do whatever you can to help them grow into responsible, caring and productive human beings, but don't be your children's slave.

Don't expect too much from your children. Caring children, though caring, could 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 property.

Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth; but you have no claims to their money.

As you grow older, don't trade in your health for wealth any more...

Because your money may not be able to buy your health …

Know when to stop making money and how much is enough (hundred thousand, million, ten million?)

Even if you had a thousand hectares of good farm land, you can only consume one quart of rice daily;

Even if you had a thousand mansions, you need only three square meters of space to rest at night.

So as long as you have enough food and enough money for your essential needs, 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 can't change because worrying doesn't help and it will affect your health.

You have to create your own well-being and find your own happiness.

Strive to keep yourself in a good mood, think about happy things, do happy things daily and have fun in doing them, 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, lots of sun, variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin and mineral intake, you will enjoy years of healthy life.

Above all, learn to cherish the goodness around ……FAMILY and FRIENDS……..they all make you feel young and "wanted"
