Cruising at Eighty

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN EIGHTY YEARS:

1. Don't wait to learn to play. Do it today.

2. Be a mentor to young people. Bad life decisions can result from depending on your own generation for answers.

3.Don't fear confrontation. Out it can come understanding. Doing nothing can result mystery illnesses.

4.Follow your gut and your spirituality, and do not allow organized thought, whether it be religious
or cultural, dictate your life. If you determine that you are a nonbeliever, rejoice in it. You will not cause wars.

5. Stay away from negativity. It saps your energy, and solves nothing.

6. Be kind to yourself.

7. Laugh and develop or maintain a sense of humor. It will get you through tough times.

8. Accept responsibility if you own it. Don't own it when it belongs to someone else.

9. You make time for what is important to you.

10. Never stop learning. It will keep you young.
