Many people are afraid of growing old, I am afraid of growing old and boring.

Many people are afraid of growing old, alone, I am afraid of growing old, insane.

Many people are afraid of losing their looks, I am afraid of losing my dreams.

Many people are afraid of losing their youth, I am afraid of losing my soul.

When you are 15, 35 seems ancient. When you are 35, 15 seems juvenile.

A turnaround in a split second - two decades zoom past and before you know it,

it is only a mile to the next milenium.

Don't fear age - it is a right of personhood. don't fear death - it is God's greatest jest.

Don't grow old - you don't have to.

Don't date because you are desperate. Don't marry because you are miserable.

Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.

Don't separate because you think it is fashionable.

Don't drink because you have troubles.

Don't gamble because you think winning is inevitable.

Don't play with feelings if they aren't there.

Don't philander because you think you are irresistible. Most likely, you are not.

Don't stagnate, don't regress, learn a new skill.

Find a new friend. Start a new career.

Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.

Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr Right and don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr Wrong because your biological clock is ticking and you can't afford to have your eggs harvested before the new millenium.

There is always a mad rush to something, somewhere but victory does not always belong to those who finish first.

Sometimes, there is no race to be won only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions. You can't always go with the throng who could be wrong.

Sometimes, you have to be alone to be enlightened.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.

To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.

To fulfill parenting fantasies, get a puppy.

Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.

To keep yourself warm, buy a jacket.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of what you can be.

Simplify your life. Take away the clutter. Get rid of destructive elements - abusive friends, nasty habits and dangerous liaisons.

Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.

Don't pick up more than what you can hold - you will loose them all someday.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your wife, husband, children, family and loved ones.

Be true to yourself. Don't commit when you are not ready. Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Fall in love - it's the greatest thing on earth. But take care and remember, after the fall must come the rise.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.

Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.

Do what you must even at society's scorn. Write poetry.

Love deeply. Love truly. Love faithfully.

Walk barefoot. Hold hands. Dance with wild abandon. Cry at movies.

Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you.

You light up your own life.

You drive yourself to your destination. No one completes you, except you.

It is true that life doesn't get easier with age, it only gets more challenging.

Dont' be afraid, don't lose your capacity to love.

Pursue your passions. Live your dreams.
