(from yahoo finance message board)
- Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'
- Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
- Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil'sname is Alzheimer's.
- Enjoy the simple things.
- Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
- 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.
- Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
- 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.
- 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.
- Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
保持青春的秘诀
（英文原文摘自雅虎）
- 忘记那些无关紧要的数字，包括你的年龄，体重，身高。既然你已经花了钱，就把担忧留给你的医生吧。
- 和愉悦的人交朋友。那些成天唉声叹气的人只会让你跟他们一样萎靡。
- 不要停止学习。你可以学学操作计算机，手工制作，种花植草等。不要让你的大脑闲置不用。魔鬼会侵入你闲置的大脑。那魔鬼的名字就叫痴呆症。
- 学会享受哪怕是些很小很简单的事情。
- 笑口常开，笑得长， 笑得响，笑得上气不接下气。
- 流泪是不可免的。从挫折伤心中走出来。能和你相伴整个一生的人只有你自己。活着就要有声有色。
- 让你的周围充满着你的所爱，你的家人，心爱的宠物，纪念品，音乐，植物，个人癖好等。你的家就是你的避难所。
- 珍惜健康。如果你很健康，要竭力保持。如果你的健康状况不稳定，要竭力改善，无法自我改善的话，就要寻求医生的帮助。
- 不要总是悔恨遗憾。
- 珍惜每一个向你所爱的人表达爱意的机会。
