Hello and Good Evening Rainbow Friends😊
I got the below as a forward from one of my school friends in Wattsapp group(we all are of same age group hence found relevent😆), which is very true to ever word:
*Unsolicited Suggestions For Friends*
▪When you get old, never teach anyone anything, unless requested, even if you are sure you are right.
▪Do not try to help unless asked for, Just be ready & available for it if possible.
▪️Do not give unsolicited opinion all the time.
▪️Do not expect everyone to follow your opinion, even though you feel your opinion was the best...
▪Don't impose yourself on anyone on any subject.
▪Don't try to protect your loved ones from all the misfortunes of the World. Just love them & pray for them.
▪Don't complain about your health, your neighbours, your retirement, your woes all the time.
▪Don't expect gratitude from children.
▪There are no ungrateful children, there are only stupid parents, who expect gratitude from their children.
▪Don't waste your last money on anti - age treatments. It's useless.
▪Better spend it on a trip. It's always worth it.
▪Take care of your spouse, even if he/she becomes a wrinkled, helpless and moody old person. Don't forget he/she was once young, good looking and cheerful, may be he/she is the only one who really needs you right now.
▪Understand new technologies, obsessively follow the News, constantly study something new, a new skill, a new dish, a new indoor game, do not fall behind in time.
▪Don't blame yourself for whatever happened to your life or to your children's lives, you did everything you could.
▪ *Preserve your* *dignity & integrity in any situation, till the end.*
▪Do your best, my senior Peers. This is very important. Remember, if you're still alive, someone needs you. Do your best & leave the rest to The Almighty.
▪I guess some friends are already following these tips.
*All the Best*.
( I will be falling into senior citizen catagory after 10 years but still I am taking the above seriously😆)
Now enough of gyan from me for today😆
Vibha & Madhu even I am also concerned about Nado & Branka. Hope they are fine and keeping good in health.
