Key to enjoy long life
Well, I certainly don’t have a crystal ball (but I do have a crystal bowl….), but there have been some studies done recently on people who’ve lived a very long life to see whether there were any common denominators among them. As it turns out, there were. Here are a few:
1. How fast can you walk? A recent study found that how fast you walk can be as good a predictor of how long you will live as things like your blood pressure or your cholesterol. They found that a 70-year-old man who walks 2.5 miles an hour compared to the same age man who walks only 1 mile an hour is expected to live eight years longer than the slower man. For a woman, that difference is 10 years.
2. A social network. No, Facebook and Twitter do not count. As it turns out, those connected to others (real live people, that is), whether it be their family, friends or members of their house of worship, everyone has a desire to live long. Statistically, widows live longer than widowers (and even longer than still-married women), and it has something to do with the social bonds women form with one another.
3. Having a positive attitude. The Study found that people who had a positive attitude were significantly less likely to become frail compared to pessimists. The researchers suggested that positive emotions may have an impact on health by altering the body's chemical balance.
4. Conscientiousness. According to the authors of The Longevity Project, awareness is also a big indicator of longevity. That may be because conscientious people are more likely to live a healthy lifestyle, follow doctors’ instructions, and have positive relationships. They are also less likely to smoke, have unhealthy eating habits, and take reckless risks.
5. You’re a woman. Not to hate on the guys or anything. Of the 71,000 people over the age of 100 in the U.S. in 2010, unexpectedly 80 percent of them were women. There’s not one clear reason why, but studies suggest that it could have to do with female hormones, the lower rate of cardiovascular disease among women, and the higher tendency for males to smoke.
Of course, all of the above is based on probability and is not, by any means, a sure thing. Just as there are people with high cholesterol who have never had any heart issues, there will be men that outlive their wives or people who are positively grumpy at the age of 100. There are lots of things you can do every day to improve your chances of living longer — eating better, for one. And exercising more, of course. The bottom line, though? Life is unpredictable. So smile more, laugh more, and love more, and try to savor every moment that you have.

Mother's desire
*Lovely message*
Parents expectation from their child?
____________________________
*Mother:*
I fought with death when I was giving birth to you. I spent sleepless nights when you were sick and crying. I never ate without feeding you first. I bore so many pains to bring you to the stage that you are in today. How will you repay me my child_?
*Child:*
When I grow up, I will find a good job and earn lots of money for you so you can enjoy the pleasures of this world.
*Mother:*
Your father is doing this already and I do not expect this from you too. By the time you are earning I will be old and will not be in need of any worldly luxuries.
*Son:*
I will find a pious lady and marry her so she can cook for you and take care of you.
*Mother:*
That is not her duty my son and neither should you marry for that reason. It is not compulsory on her to do any service to me, neither do I expect this from her. Your marriage should be for you, a companion and a comfort for you as you go through this journey of life.
*Child:*
Tell me mother how can I repay you then?
*Mother:*
(With tears in her eyes) Visit or call me often. A mother only requires this much from you while she is alive.
Then when I die give me your shoulder and bury me.
Whenever you perform prayers, supplicate for me.
Give out in charity for me.
Remember your every good deed will benefit me in the hereafter so be good and kind always.
Fulfill the rights of all those around you.
The sleepless nights and pains I took to bring you up was not a favour to you but was for my creator. He blessed me with you as a beautiful gift and as a means for me to attain His pleasure. Your every good deed becomes my repayment._
Will you do it my child...?
*Child*: (Cannot speak and had tears in his eyes)
