To stay healthy and live long, they get along well with their friends, that means they don't have conflicts, there is no negativity, they don't argue.
They happily enjoy all the seasons, spring, summer, autumn, winter. So if it rains, they are happy that it rains. If it snows and is cold, they are happy that it is cold. They are not hoping for good weather when it is bad. They do not complain if it rains during their walks when they had decided to walk. They enjoy all the seasons.
And they the age of our fingers. We see from the fingers to the head and vice versa, that is to say, we scan our body and we do not let ourselves be impressed by the old age that happens to us or that comes towards us, that's how I understand it. And they advise us to keep moving our fingers, so to always move, whether it's the fingers, the head, everything. They want us to move and to make our head work, so a lot of physical exercises. Not intense, but you have to move. You have to make your head work and 100 years will come to us.
I think that we can apply that in part. As I said, there is a whole bunch of extremely simple wisdom in there. There is nothing difficult, there is nothing to buy in all that they advocate. There is simplicity, these are natural things. And the world we live in tends to want to complicate things, because the more complex it is, the more singapore whatsapp number data we are tempted to buy a new gadget. But that is not what they want, these people who sing us this song. On the contrary, they tell us: "Instead of buying yourself the latest big screen or the latest game console, go for a walk."
So, that really touched me. It's very consistent with the simplicity, the simple lifestyle that I try to advocate and that I advocate to my children. Of course we like beautiful things, good things, but above all we like to go for walks with the family, go to the swimming pool, do really, really simple things. And the idea is to do less. At no point in this song are we told to do a lot, we are told to do less.
And I'm pretty happy with this year 2023 as far as my habits are concerned, because I've really managed to simplify them, to focus on my sleep, walking, eating and reading. And I tell myself that if I respect these things, that I sleep well, I walk every day, I pay attention to what I eat, but not too much either, but I'm careful, I can make a few small exceptions, but I'm careful, and I read, well what else? What could allow me to be even better, of course while spending lots of time with my family? I don't need anything else in fact and it's totally in line with what these people who live a long time were saying.
