George Carlin on Age

Do you realize that the only time in our l ives when we like to get oldis when we're kids?
If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excitedabout 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 90's, you start going backwards; "Iwas JUST 92." Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become alittle 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 nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them. "

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Ne ver 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, 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.

知足的笑容

有一位家境貧困的婦女，自己帶著小孩謀生。她想讓孩子開開眼界、看看美麗的世界，所以，她帶著孩子到百貨公司，讓孩子認識各樣東西。百貨公司的東西琳瑯滿目，有各式各樣的玩具：小熊、小貓、娃娃、機器人……。孩子也很乖巧，只要媽媽能帶她到處看看，她就已經很歡喜了！

有一天，她看到有人在拍照。這孩子忽然拉著媽媽的手說：「媽媽，我也想要照 相！」 那位媽媽摸摸孩子的頭，理一理她的頭髮，輕撫著孩子的臉頰說：「孩子啊！妳看 妳這件衣服不夠漂亮，今天不要照好嗎？」 那小孩才五、六歲，她卻回答媽媽說：「媽媽，我沒有漂亮的衣服可以穿沒關係 啊！雖然衣服不漂亮，但我會笑啊！我的微笑不是很漂亮嗎？」 媽媽聽了很心疼！她從來不曾讓孩子穿漂亮的衣服，但大家都稱讚她很可愛。那天媽媽才發現：她的小孩之所以可愛，是因為她臉上常掛著笑容。微笑確實是最漂亮的！穿什麼漂亮的衣服，都不及臉上那分親切的笑容來得美。

那五、六歲的小孩多懂事啊！她知道媽媽很辛苦，沒什麼多餘的錢，所以只要能到百貨公司看看就好了；雖然沒有漂亮衣服穿，但她能自己創造美感──笑容。 無貪無欲，才能滿足自在！滿足自在的人，臉上才能時時掛著滿足的笑容；這表示他的心很平靜，把心照顧得很好。人生只要內心平靜，臉上常掛著笑容，就是最美的人生！

爱一人

爱一人
如果你不爱一个人, 请放手. 好让别人有机会爱她.

如果你爱的人放弃了你, 请放开自己, 好让自己有机会爱别人.

有的东西你再喜欢也不会属于你的, 有的东西你再留恋也注定要放弃的.

人生中有许多种 . 但别让自己为一种伤害.

有些缘分是注定要失去的, 有些缘分是永远都不会有好结果的,

爱一个人不一定要拥有, 但拥有一个人就一定要好好的去爱她.

男人哭了是因为他真的爱了. 女人哭了是因为她真的放弃了.

如果真诚是一种伤害, 我选择谎言;

如果谎言一种伤害, 我选择沉默;

如果沉默是一种伤害, 我选择离开.

如果失去是苦， 你怕不怕付出 ,

如果迷乱是苦， 你会不会选择结束,

如果追求是苦， 你会不会选择执迷不悟 ,

如果分离是苦， 你要向谁倾诉,

好多事情都是后来才看清楚, 好多事情当时一点也不觉得苦!!!!
