Our average
life expectancy is increasing and long life is not uncommon these days.
But Life is uncertain and one has to be lucky to be alive in good
health with friends and family around. It’s true that in the present times
there are large number of people taken away from the world everyday by means of
war, terrorism, poverty and natural calamities. The latest reminder of
uncertainty was when 9000 people perished during the devastating Nepal
earthquake. But sometimes passing away of a single person gives even more
grief and paralyses our logical and creative mind alike.
Our Earth is a
little over 4.5 billion years old and it would hardly make any difference if a
man were to live till the age of 85 or dies at 45. The cruel reality is
that we human and other earthly beings are mere mortals. However, it makes
a world of difference to the people who loves you and depends on you
emotionally or economically. It is therefore important to be by their side as
long as possible and leave behind some wealth for them to carry on.
Here are a few advices I am taking on board for the rest of my journey called
life:
- Strive to have a strong and healthy body rather than a strong ego.
- Go for regular medical exam even when not sick.
- Drink more water even if not thirsty.
- Let go even if faced with grave problems.
- Give in when required, even if I am in the right.
- Be humble even when I have the power on my side.
- Stay contented even if not rich.
- Exercise everyday and even when I am busy.
Come along friends, lets do it together......
