How many times when you were young (I mean really young - during school days) did you boast around like an older fella than your actual age? It's a common phenomenon that we are quite eager to get to18 and then quickly get onto 21. And then when we hit 30, we tend to apply the brakes! My brother sent me these tips to combat the feeling of becoming "Suddenly Senior". I thought of sharing these simple concepts that might help us to stay 18 till we die, with each one of you. And do read Six Steps to Happiness, a blog by one of my friends.

18 till I die! is a good song, but I could not read the tips since the site was blocked in my workplace..:(
Here it is ... an abstract copy from the linked web site.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. 8 Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
My house is red,
A little house,
A happy child am I.
I laugh and play,
and live long day,
I hardly ever cry.
I have a tree,
A green green tree,
To shade me from the Sun.
And under it,
I often sit,
When all my works are done.
Already started following the tips!
Nice little 'n cute one!
that was a gud post. Keep smiling and keep away from all worries. This could make you stay young forever.
oh wow, thanks a lot for the abstract! UK has a lot of website regulations, so my workplace poses a lot of restrictions on sites we access....that is the whole problem
