Here's 10 things he believes on "How To Stay Young":
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

I voted for George! Very 'real' person. Really like numbers 4, 5 and 6. Although #5 is a stretch for me sometimes. And that last phrase is a favorite. I have a couple more (Short - not so sweet) and they seem to pop out whenever I am golfing....
I live by numbers 1 & 3,
and don't even get me started again on golf (I'm terrible):
Golfer: "Well, I have never played this badly before!"
Caddy: "I didn't realize you had played before."
One more golf joke(sorry, I get started and I don't know how to quit):
Golfer: "Do you think I can get there with a 5-iron?"
Caddy: "Eventually."
