Some good points. I'm reading this from the perspective of someone who has long since left the 40's behind. 1. Don't exercise to thin. Exercise to be strong. --> Especially as you get older, strength diminishes. Exercise enough to keep your strength. This has so many positive knock-on effects. 10. The small details of your day matter. --> They really do. We're all busy, but make time to read a book, to play a silly video game, to go for a hike. My favorite saying: "Enjoy life. This isn't a dress rehearsal." 11. Allow friendships to come and go. --> It seems to get more difficult to find friends. Fewer oppportunities, and we get picker. Another saying: "Everyone is someone else's weirdo." Enjoy your weirdness, take other people as they are, and find friendships in unexpected people. 14. Everyone should go on a course before becoming parents, to find out exactly how their own parents traumatised them. --> You will avoid your parents' mistakes and traumatize your children in new and unexpected ways. We're all amateurs at this, just doing the best we can. 18. Put your phone down. Put your phone down. Put your phone down. --> This is surprisingly hard. What I am doing just now???
