Lessons for life
Despite all the medical advances available today, the most effective and the
most practical advice to living a long and healthy life can be found in our
Vedas.
1. Eat mostly plants.
(Have meat as a side dish instead of the main dish)
2. Put family first.
(In times of Test, Family is the Best)
3. Take a walk. Get outdoors
(Our legs are meant to move us, so move)
4. Reduce and manage stress.
(It's not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it)
5. Have a purpose.
(Be excited when you wake up each morning)
6. Be grateful.
(Appreciate what you got and you will get more)
7. Have fun.
(Do things that you enjoy)
8. Maintain a healthy body weight
(Move more, eat less)
9. Love and laugh
(Preferably both at the same time)
10. Snack on nuts
(The most nutrient dense food in the world)
11. Give something back.
(If you want to get, you have to give)
12. Eat a large breakfast. A medium lunch & a small dinner.
(King's B'fast, Prince's Lunch, Pauper's Dinner)
13. *Drink plenty of water. *(* *If you pass urine 4 times in 24hrs and it
is pale yellow in colour: it means that u are consuming sufficient water)*
*
14. Sleep when it's dark.
(There is a reason why we can't see in the dark)
15. Learn new things.
(The saddest summary of life contains these 3 descriptions: could have,
might have, should have)

Advice for girls (dressing up)
When Muhammad Ali's daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were not modest. Here is the story as told by one of his daughters:
When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.
My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget.
He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to.
Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock.
You've got to work hard to get to them."
He looked at me with serious eyes. "Your body is sacred. You're far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too."

Thoughts, words, actions....fate!
Pay attention to your thoughts; because they become words
Pay attention to your words; because they become actions
Pay attention to your actions; because they become habits
Pay attention to your habits; because they become your character
Pay attention to your character; because it is your fate. - from Talmud
