How to Stay Young (checklist by George Carlin)
HOW TO STAY YOUNG (George Carlin)
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. 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’s name is Alzheimer’s.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long 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, whether it’s 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, 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.

Hey Nancy,
What a great reminder! I was just complaining to someone this weekend about being “too old” to be out cold calling companies as part of my sales mix. The other side of the coin is it does make me feel younger. Not only is it good exercise but I am learning about new industries and meeting new people. A long time ago another sales person I met out in the field said “if you take some action you will get some kind of a re-action”.
Thanks for the reality check!
