<p>我问一个跨过70岁，正走向80岁的朋友，他自己感觉到了什么样的变化？ 他向我发送了以下内容：</p><p>1 在爱完父母，兄弟姐妹，配偶，孩子和朋友之后，我现在开始爱自己。</p><p>2 我意识到我不是“地图集”。 这个世界不靠我的肩膀。</p><p>3 我已停止与蔬菜和水果小贩讨价还价。 再多花几分钱也不会影响我，但这可能会帮助这个可怜的家伙节省儿女们的学费。</p><p>4 我给女服务员多一点小费。 这些钱可能使她的脸上露出微笑。 她的工作比我更辛苦。</p><p>5 我不再告诉老人，他们已经对这个故事返复很多遍。这个故事使他们走在记忆里，重温了过去。</p><p>6 即使我知道他们错了，我也学会了不去纠正他们。 使每个人都完美的责任不在于我。 和平共处比完美更宝贵。</p><p>7 我会慷慨解囊。 称赞不仅对他人，而且对我而言，都是一种情绪增强剂。 还有一个小小的提示，对称赞你的人，永远不要拒绝，只说“谢谢”。</p><p>8 我学会了不打扰衬衫上的折痕或斑点。个性胜于外表。</p><p>9 我远离那些不重视我的人。他们可能不知道我的价值，但我知道我自己。</p><p>10 当有人在追逐赛中跑赢我时，我保持冷静。 我不是老鼠，我也不参加任何比赛。</p><p>11 我正在学习不要为自己的情绪而感到尴尬。 是我的情感使我成为我自己。</p><p>12 我了解到，放弃自我比打破关系要好。 我的自我会使我与世隔绝，而有了人际关系，我将永远不会孤单。</p><p>13 我学会了每天过着最后一天的生活。毕竟，它可能是最后一个。</p><p>14 我正在做让我开心的事情。 我为自己的幸福负责，这归功于我自己。 快乐是一个选择。 您可以随时快乐，只要选择就可以！</p><p>我决定将这个分享给我所有的朋友。 为什么我们必须等到60或70或80，为什么我们不能在任何年龄段都练习呢？</p> <p>I asked a friend who has crossed 70 & is heading towards 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself? He sent me the following:</p><p>1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.</p><p>2 I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.</p><p>3 I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.</p><p>4 I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.</p><p>5 I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.</p><p>6 I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.</p><p>7 I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say "Thank You.”</p><p>8 I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.</p><p>9 I walk away from people who don't value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.</p><p>10 I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.</p><p>11 I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.</p><p>12 I have learned that it's better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.</p><p>13 I have learned to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.</p><p>14 I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!</p><p>I decided to share this for all my friends. Why do we have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80, why can't we practice this at any stage and age?</p>
