An alternate view on health and wealth

(A text from a friend: though not entirely agree, but makes sense up to a certain level)

I believe that the old saying "health is wealth" exists mainly to keep the less fortunate content with their circumstances. I argue the opposite, that wealth is health. With wealth comes the means to live a longer, more fulfilling life, which is why people in North America, Europe, Japan, Denmark, and Australia enjoy greater longevity and well-being.

Dog's love

 Having a dog as a pet has been universal among humans for ages. This is probably due to the unconditional love dogs show.

Last week, one of my colleagues' dogs died. Someone offered an interesting console.

"It is said that 7 years of a human life is equivalent to one year of a dog's life. This is because dogs have 7 times as much love in their hearts as humans. Humans need seven times as many dogs as a pet to understand one dog's love! If your dog has died, let's get another dog so you continue to appreciate the beauty of love; dogs are trying to teach us."

One marker of raising good kids

 I think this is an interesting perspective on raising good children, particularly in the Western world.

"If your child calls, texts, or reaches out to his grandparents - without your advice - to convey happy birthday or congratulations or any other sentiments - be assured you have raised a good kid."

One Sane Advice

اچھی سگریٹ پیئں، خاموشی کو اپنائیں، مولویوں کے باتوں میں نہ آئیں۔ اچھا سا میوزک سنئیے، لوگوں کو سنجیدگی سے نہ لیں،

 اپنے جذبات کو بڑھا چڑھا کر پیش نہ کریں، پرسکون رہیں۔

اگر کسی کا کوا سفید ہے تو اسے سفید ہی رہنے دیں کالا ثابت کرنے کی کوشش نہ کریں، اگر کوئی یہ تسلیم کرچکا ھے کہ ہاتھی درخت پر بیٹھا ہے تو اس کے ہاتھی کو نیچے اتارنے میں اپنا وقت، جذبات اور اپنے الفاظ ضائع نہ کریں۔
اپنی مرضی کے خلاف کسی کو خوش نہ کریں، آپ کی ایک ہی زندگی ہے جو بہت قیمتی ہے اسے سستے لوگوں کے لیے ضائع نہ کریں۔

اپنے آپ کو خوش رکھیں، اپنا خیال رکھیں، آپ خود کے لیے بہت ضروری ہیں، اپنے آپ کے لیے خود کو بہت اہم رکھیں، اپنی پہلی ترجیح اپنا آپ رکھیں اور آزادانہ زندگی گزاریں۔

'Disappointing’ those closest to us

Charlie Sheen is getting candid about the turning point that led to his sobriety and the moment he knew he had to change. The actor, once known for his heavy drug and alcohol use, has been sober nearly eight years. After years of addiction and public turmoil, Sheen said he got sober after realizing the impact his lifestyle was having on both his health and those around him. 

In recent years, he’s spoken about the shame he associates with those years of his life and about turning his life around since getting sober in 2017. A large part of that, he said, was rebuilding relationships with those closest to him. 

 "I didn’t feel that I was available to the people that count on me the most and available in a way that they came to rely on, but then had to make adjustments based on my choices," he said.

I agree on that..

Many may not agree, but usually, once in a relationship, if there is a breakup, it is wise to move on..
