When you are 60 years old...

“There are 1000-year old trees in the woods, but not many 100 year-old man on Earth”

Assuming you are 60 years old now after working your whole life for you company.

At the most, you live until 100 years old (only 1 in 100,000).

If you live until 90, you only have 30 years to go.

If you live until 80, you only have 20 years to go.

Since you don’t have many years to live, and you can’t bring along things when you go, you don’t have to be too thrifty!

Spend the money that should be spent, enjoy what should be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate, but don’t leave all to your children or grandchildren, for you don’t want them to become “parasites”.

Don’t worry about what will happen after you are gone, because when you return to dust, you will feel nothing about praises or criticisms.

Don’t worry too much about your children for “children will have their own destiny and find their own way. Don’t be your children’s slave”.

Don’t expect too much from your children. Caring children, though caring, would 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 properties.

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

60-year olds like you, don’t trade in your health for wealth anymore;

Because your money may not be able to buy your health. Silly men earn money when they are young and then use the money to buy health when they are old and sick!

When to stop making money, and how much is enough (hundred thousands, million, Billion)?

“Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can only consume three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand of mansions, you only need eight square meters of space to rest at night”.

So as long as you have enough food and enough money to spend, 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.

Don’t worry about things that you can’t change because it doesn’t help and it may spoil your health.

I may not be rich but I am wealthy… if there are more important things to do, do it…

I have seen a lot of hard working people , working whole life like a dog for the company, (Sorry I am a dog lover, does not mean dog life is tough, I mean his life is worse than the dog’s) his wife, kids and saved up a lot of money from not drinking, not even buying a decent watch for himself as a reward, keep using the old shabby suits for years to receive old-man-honour (long servicing reward in a company) from the CEO, hardly seeing his smile as he never have enough saving for their children…Never Drive a Porsche, never had a chance to taste the French Greatest Creation a Bottle of good Lafite or Latour, never know what a good Record of the 50’s could sound so good that can cause you to tear! Never go to cinema with his beloved, no candle light dinner with his mistress… Well,  even though he has 1,000,000,000 in the bank account…that is the Money of the bank not yours!

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

As long as you are in good mood, think about happy things, do happy things daily and have fun in doing, 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 good spirit, sickness will cure fast; in good spirit; sickness will never come.

With good mood, suitable amount of exercise, always in the sun, variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin

and mineral intake, hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years healthy life.

How Fun the Life Could be!

Enjoy your life while you can. Don’t wait until we can not even walk just to be sorry and to be regret.
As long as it is physically possible visit places you wish to visit, have you heard about the book “1000 places you have to go before you die”…!? Howe many places you have been there, 10 or 22? Is that Life Is for? Working all days long, screaming the subordinates because they made mistake that you had made before…Scolding your Material Control colleagues that you think they did not do the work properly and cause the delay of the machine to your customers? Believing that you may not be as good a style is, as least not as good experience as they are in their role of works! Try to wear their shoes and be a good man to see their difficulties! Don’t yell all the days and shoot up you blood pressure!
When there is opportunity, get together with your old school mates, classmates, old friend and relative for a chat, drinks and dinner and share their joys with yours. Close your gnikcuf Note Book PC and leave home at 5 to play with you kids sometimes…
Money kept in the bank may not really be yours even there are made up of 11 digits... this is numbers only.
When it is time to spend, just spend it. Treat yourself as well as you are getting old. Share your money with the one you love… or mistress 2nd, 3rd, 4th we do not care... as they are borne to come to your world to enjoy with you "spending…"
If you Pass TSL goldsmith and see a nude diamond of emerald cut with size of your finger tip, go and buy it and send to your most beloved one, who care she is a woman just meet for three days, your mother, sister or even a man….Just do it for the sake of ten seconds of pleasure and happiness to see their gesture of Satisfaction, mesmerizing on you, as you may have time to do it just once… in this Universe…
Whoever our feel like to eat, just goes and eat. It is most important thing to keep you happy. If food that are goof for health, eat often but that is not everything. If things are not good for health, eat less once in a while but do not abstain from them totally.
Treat sickness with Optimism. Whenever you are rich or poor, everyone has to get through the human life process; Birth, Aging, sickness, and death.
There is no exception as that is life. Do not afraid or worry when n you are sick, leave your body to the doctor and Let the God/nature to handle your life, But you must in charge your moods!
Settle the outstanding issues; leave you things to your beloved. And you can leave it without any regret.
Our kids will make their own future… Do not worry about them…
Don’t worry about it, if you had too much money do not know where to go, just send them to the Red Cross, Oxfam, Sowers action, Green Power, or China to support the earthquake recovery programme, if there is still some money, give it to the beggar who has been staying in front of the road asking money, but you had never give him a dime and pretended to not able to catch the eye sight,, walked faster to show that you was busy. You have done enough that kind of shows already! .It is time for you to do something by real actions, give your donations or pension fund all to the charity! Money is sin, and money is dirty, use it all today to help the poor people that really needs them! There are a lot sacred hearts waiting to say “thank you” to you! Make a day the greatest day you could experience wouldn't be kind to you?
If you know you will die in 50 days, that would be very nice!

Make her a surprise, and leave the bill to the gnikcuf bank manager to write off later after your death!

The Brick

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, 'What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?

That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money Why did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic. 'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,'

He pleaded. 'I threw the brick because no one else would stop...' With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. 'It's my brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.'

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.'

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts.


A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door.

He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.

Thought for the Day:
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.

If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.

He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!

Send this to every 'beautiful person' you wish to bless.
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

We Only Live Once!

No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.

No point using limited life to chase unlimited money, the heaven does not accept such kind of cash!

Money is not yours until you spend it.

Where is not enough time for life, but a lot of money waiting, where do you choose to go?

When you are young, you use your health to exchange your money; when you are getting old, you use your money to buy back your health. Difference is that, it is too late!

How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs

No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.

Don’t confuse with wealthy and richness, everyone can be rich but only a few is classified wealthy.

So the Moral of today:
Do not force yourself to do things impossible!

Relax and be a healthy man

There are Three Staff gone Dead in less than Two Months, is this one episode of life!...or...
A sign of warning to those 1,000 staff in the building who are still alive!?

So, go back home and play wiht your kids, kiss you wife whenever you can, say "I love You! " Loud to your mother and Father...

Bring them for Dim Sum Sunday Morning.... celebrate the important event with them...with good food yon can afford today!

Don't be stingy, as one day, we may have no one to share the joy, laughters of life with you...

Like Father Like Son

The father 86 old and he had given most of his retirement fund to his son to pay for the mortgage and he left almost nothing for his living.

He had been having dementia for a few years. He could not eat properly and caused the dinning table a mess every time after his meal. His son’s wife was shouting loud and made complaints whenever she cleaned the table!

Sooner his son tried to put him at the corner of the dinning room, give him all kinds of disposable paper cups and plates such that his wife would not talk much about it.

The old pa took it not say anything as he is old and he has to rely on his son income to support him for a living, That is already very good not kicking him away at the street like some of the morons are doing in Hong Kong…

One day Old man’s grandson said told his parents the shop at the concern of the street he used to buy that kind of disposable cup and plate was closed, probably he had to buy a lot at better discount as from the whole seller.

His father felt strange and said, “Why? Son, Your Grandpa is very old already and he might not be able to live long, there is no need to buy so many at all!”

His Son said to their parent though grand father was old and it was more advisable to buy in preparation as one day his Father and Mother would one day in need this disposable stuffs…..

********************
The moral of this story is, how do you treat your father, will be expecting the same you child treating you sooner!

I do hope my daughters and son will not treat me this way!!
