There are few things I want to list down, so that when I grow older, I'd be able to follow them. These are based on observations of my parents, and the older generation around me. In general, I quite like the life papa and mama are having now. I never knew, one day, I'd use the word "CUTE" to describe papa and mama.

So here you go,

1. Remember, you are always younger in your head than in your body. Slow down your movements. Slow and steady helps you go further.

2. Remember, you are not always right. You strongly believe that everyone has a story. Remember that with that story, comes their decision and consequences from their decision; however strongly you feel about them, the decision and consequences are theirs.

3. Remember, to continue having a passion for yourself. To live for yourself. To do things you love. To feel things. Remember that there's no trial run in life. Life is so short, and there's no repeat button.

4. Remember, to read. And to slow down your reading. To take in the sentences. Remember that you tend to rush and that it is ok to slow down. Try to not rush. Try not to rush your kids. Try not to rush others. Please try to take your time and slow down. As there is no point rushing.

5. Remember, time helps and also diminishes everything. Nothing win over time. Remember in harder times, that in a few years, it will be ok. Remember in good times, that in a few years, this may be forgotten. Grief hard; celebrate harder.

6. Remember, innocence is bliss, ignorance is not. Appreciate innocence, tolerate ignorance.

7. Remember, to love, as hard as you always do. To always give hugs. Even if some hugs can be awkward, still do hug. Do kiss when you can. It's not always that you can hug and kiss someone. Remember when you have a chance to do it. Do it.

8. Remember, to be comfortable with uncomfortable. Remember that you always put yourself out of your comfort zone as the growth outsize the comfort zone helps you grow and feel alive. Remember to always keep that feeling of growth.

9. Remember, to make small changes that will lead to bigger change. Sleep earlier, wake earlier, take more steps, eat better, love better.

10. Remember, to do good, say good, think good. Even when it takes effort to do so.
