Some of us are 50 + and some will be getting there soon ..
Because none of us have many years to live, and we can't take along anything
when we go, so we 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 who
are waiting for the day you will die!!
Don't worry about what will happen after we are gone, because when we return
to dust, we will feel nothing about praises or criticisms. The time to enjoy
the worldly life and your hard earned wealth will be over!
Don't worry too much about your children, for children will have their own
destiny and should find their own way. Don't be your children's slave. Care
for them, love them, give them gifts but also enjoy your money while you
can. Life should have more to it than working from the cradle to the grave!!
Don't expect too much from your children. Caring children, though
caring, would be too busy with their jobs and commitments to render much
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 and
Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth;
but that you have no claims to their money.
50-year old like you, don't trade in your health for wealth by working
yourself to an early grave anymore... Because your money may not be able to

Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can consume only three
quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand 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. 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,
enjoyment, quality of life and longevity...
Don't worry about things that you can't change because it doesn't
help and it may spoil your health.
You have to create your own well-being and find your own place of happiness.
As long as you are in good mood and good health, think about happy things,
do happy things daily and have fun in doing, then you will pass your time
One day passes without happiness, you will lose one day.
One day passes with happiness, and then you gain one day.
In good spirit, sickness will cure; in a happy spirit, sickness will cure
faster; in high and happy spirits; 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 of healthy life of pleasure.
Above all, learn to cherish the goodness around... and FRIENDS... They all
make you feel young and "wanted"... without them you are surely to feel
Please share this with all your friends who are 50 plus
and those who will be 50 plus after some time.
