It's been said that a man dies simply because he doesn't know how to live longer.

People are living longer these days. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 1920 the average life expectancy was 54. Today, people can expect to live to 78.

"If you really want to live longer, then start with your attitude. Your way of thinking not only improves your outlook on life, but also how long you actually live. In 2002, researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, found that optimistic people decreased their risk of early death by 50 percent compared with those who leaned more toward pessimism." (yeah, right!)

1) Don't Oversleep
OK?
2) Be Optimistic
I do believe this to be true, you can say that I have had enough, and die when it close. Or get better with the right attitude.
3)Have More Sex
Won't argue, as it is a great idea to use.  :laughing7:
4)Get A Pet
Probably mostly true in single people who need a partner. Without the other problems.
5)Get A VAP
OK?
6)Be Rich
OK, but just having enough, should be enough.(financially comfortable) :laughing7: :laughing7:
7)Stop Smoking
Mostly true.
8)Chill out
Definitely true.
9)Eat right
Definitely true.
10)Marry well
True but differently, your spouse serves you your meals, right?  :laughing7:
11)Exercise
True, but overdoing can do the opposite.
12)Laugh
True, but I don't think too much is too much.
13)Lose weight
Definitely
14)Manage Stress
As before Chill
15)Meditate
? Chill no?
Again just my opinions.  ;)

As usual. Thanks ROM DOS. :occasion14:

My grandpa is now 85 years old and he basically eats wat he wants,  pretty much stress free because all he spends his time doing is watching baseball and spanish soap operas.  Right know he has no health problem wat so ever.  My family is convinced that he will live up to 100 years old.  And he still drives.  But one thing i cant say is that his whole life was stres free, he moved to bronx new york from puerto rico when he was 22 years old and he did not know any english at all.  He had to support 8 children as well.  I do belive that the optimistic part is rite

Hey up guys, such negative posts,
I am going to pull rank on you young whipper snappers,
Yeah life can be a bitch at times, for me some very long times, I wont bore you with the details, don't want to make you cry,
but believe me your day will come, just keep swimming through the sh*t, Finlay it will all come right,
Yeah OK people told me that in the bad times, and it didn't help,
but F**k me it's true,
so heads up guys just keep  swimming, and a eye open for the main chance, coz if you don't , it will pass you by on your blind side
