secret to long life


"He lives long who enjoys life and who bears no jealousy of others, whose heart harbors no malice or anger, who sings a lot and cries a little, who rises and retires with the sun, who likes to work and who knows how to rest."

I love this quote. I happened upon it the other day in my reading. It is attributed to the 166 year old Russian centenarian, Shirali Mislimov. Isn't it beautiful. I keep thinking about it and I have decided that even if Mr. Mislimov's advice doesn't help you live longer it will certainly help you live happier. So, I am going to attempt to apply his advice to my life.
