GEORGE CARLIN'S VIEWS ON AGING
=================================

Do you realize that the only time in our
lives when we like to get old is when
we're young?

If you're less than 10 years
old, you're so excited about aging that
you think in fractions.

"How old are you?"

" I'm four and a half!"

You're never thirty-six and a half. You're
four and a half, going on five! That's the
KEY.

You get into your teens, now they can't
hold you back. You jump to the next number,
or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!"

You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be
16! And then the greatest day of your life . .
You become 21. Even the words sound
like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21.

YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened
there?

Makes you sound like bad milk! He
TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's
no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling.
What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're
PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes,
it's all slipping away. Before you know it,
you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't
think you would!

So you BECOME 21....

TURN 30.....

PUSH 40.....

REACH 50....

... and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you
HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing;
you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80's and every day is a
complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ;
you REACH bedtime.

And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s,
you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."

Then a STRANGE THING happens.

If you make it over 100, you become a
little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

==========================
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
==========================

1. THROW OUT THE NON ESSENTIAL NUMBERS.

This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctors worry about them. That is
why you pay "them." =)

2. KEEP ONLY YOUR CHEERFUL FRIENDS.

The grouches pull you down.

3. KEEP LEARNING.

Learn more about the computer, making
money, 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 LONG, OFTEN 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.

Be it 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, even 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.

And if you don't send this to at least 8 people
- who cares?

But do share this with someone.

We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

So what do you think about this article post?? Quite true yea...Haha

By the way, I want to add something that is if you want to stay young and have eternal live, always belief in GOD and always put your trust in Him.

What Next?
