Yes this is one of those regular forwarded pieces but i liked it as it appeared to endorse what i profoundly believe. The mail says these are the ten commandments for living young. Within brackets are my comments.
- Enjoy simple things (looks simple but difficult)
- Keep only cheerful friends - the grouches pull you down so avoid them
- Try everything twice (what to say..)
- Keep leaning - learn more about computer, cooking, painting whatever.. (just written for me i thought!!!)
- Laugh long and loud, often. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh,spend lots and lots of time with him/her (only that they are these days not available)
- Be surrounded with what you love - family, music, hobbies. Home is your refuge (its about me me me)
- Tears do happen - endure, grieve and move on.
- Cherish your health - if it is good, preserve it. If unstable, improve. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help
- Don't take guilt trips
- Forgive those who made you cry. (i always remember Helen Keller:"When one door of happiness closes, another opens. That is the rule of life. But we often look at the closed door so long that we do not see the other one has opened". And i have to learn to practice this.)
