Here is part of my recipe for a long and happy life, any other suggestions would be taken on board and thought about, but not too hard.
1. Believe nothing you hear and only half that you see.
2. Never make major decisions, leave that to others and deal with any consequences that come your way.
3. Do a fair day s work for your pay, do any more and your colleages will call you a creep and your boss will call you a sucker.
4. Always take the line of least resitance, even a meandering river reaches the sea eventually.
5. Be pleasant to everybody you come into contact with.
6. Never write convoluted, off-topic threads to HHAD, you only p.ss people off, you then get angry which leads to high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes etc.
7. Be aware that there are good and bad people in every country and of every race, religion and creed. Be comforted by the fact that the good people far outweigh the bad ones.
8. There is more joy in giving than receiving.
20 Dont rush to heaven until somebody proves it exists
21 Dont rush for the 60.000 virgins (all good things come to those that wait)
(and just because you will be older only means you walk from one virgin to the next instead of running)
(and death lasts for ever so you will have plenty of time)
)
