Remember that life is short!
Professor Pillemer study began with a simple question: "What are the most important lessons you have learned in life? Respondents were obtained with different jobs during his life, had different status, wealth and family. But all have given the same answer: Life is short.
Do the work of love!
Many of his respondents have gone through very difficult economic times, but young people have advised, provide safe places to work and better paying jobs. Their advice: Do work that you enjoy!Take good care of your health!
Chronology modern, healthy way and not stressful life would not say they will die soon, but reduced quality of life. While counsel instead of type "Eat more fruit, not smoking, sleep early" study participants questions about health care mainly given the same answer: Behave towards your body, if you need it in 100 years next.
Be happy despite tough times!
