The Wise Old Man~A man of 92 years, well-presented, who take good care of his appearance, is moving into an old folk home today. His wife of 70 years old had recently passed away, and he feel obliged to leave his home.
~After waiting for a fews hour in the old folk home lobby, he smile when told that his room is ready. As he walk slowly to the elevator using his cane, the staff describle the small room to him.
~ The old man reply:"I like it very much!"
Staff:"Sir, you have't even seen the room yet."
~Below is the old man reply
That has nothing to do with it. Happiness is something I choose in advances. Whether or not i like the room not because of the decor-rather it depend on how i decided to see it. It is already decided in my mind that i like the room. It is a decision I make every morning i wake up.
~I can choose. Spending my day in the bed enumerating my body no longer work as well as when i was young OR get up from bed and thank heaven that my body can still move.
~Everyday is a gift, as long as I can open my eyes I will focus on the new day, and all the happy memories that I have built up during my life. Old age is just like a bank account. You withdraw in later life what you have deposited along the day.
~So my advice to you is to deposit all the happiness you can into your bank account of memories.
Thank you for your part in filling my account with happy memories, which I am still continuing to fill.
~There is five step toward happiness1. Free your heart from hate2. Free your mind from worry3. Live simply4. Give more 5. Expect less
