I think many people die early because they worked themselves too hard. They may not realise that their bodies have aged even though mentally, they are still very active. Hence, the common perception of a 30 year old living in the body of a 50 year old. This is one of the reasons why I decided to retire early. Yes, I worked extra hard and took a lot of risks when I was younger. Towards my late 40's, I decided to slow down and spend more time with the family. There is nothing better in life than to wake up early and send the kids to school and then looking forward to picking them up. In between those times, I look at the stock market.... the market is here to serve you and not to command you...  According to the statistics, life expectancy for a male in Singapore is around 80 years and a woman, 84.5 years.  www.singstat.gov.sg/statistics/visualising_data/chart/Life_Expectancy_At_Birth.html |

Enya - Only Time
It's the process that makes life more enjoyable than the outcome.
生命的目的在享受过程
作者﹕何权峰(畅销心灵文学作家)
人的一生是一直朝著某个地方前进的旅程，有些人旅行的目的，是為了抵达一个特别的地点、目的地，有些人则漫无目的。
那些漫无目的的人，不知道自己要去那裡，也就永远不可能到达目的地；而只看到目的地的人呢？就算到达，也往往错失了目的。
怎麼说呢？
比方，如果爬山时你老望著山顶，就根本看不到脚边的花花草草，人生旅程也是一样，如果你只在乎何时到达目的地，那就错过整条路上沿途的美丽景致了，不是吗？
说一则故事：
从前，有个年轻人和女友相约在一棵大树下，他性子很急，很早就来了。虽然春光明媚，鲜花绽放，但他急躁不安，根本无心欣赏。
这时，忽然出现了一个小精灵。『你等得不耐烦了吧？』精灵说：『把这个钮扣缝在衣服上吧！每当你遇到不想等待的时候，就向右旋转一下钮扣，你想跳过多长时间都行。』
年轻人高兴得不得了，他握著钮扣，轻轻地转了一下。
真是奇妙！女友出现在他的面前，正含情脉脉地凝望著他。
『要是现在就举行婚礼有多好？』他心裡暗暗地想著。
他又转了一下，隆重的婚礼、丰盛的酒席出现在他的面前；美若天仙的新娘依偎著他；乐队吹奏著欢乐的曲调，他深深地陶醉其中。
他看著美丽的新娘，又想：『如果现在只有我俩多好？』不知不觉他又转动了一点钮扣，立刻夜阑人静…
他心中的愿望层出不穷，『我还要一栋大别墅，前面是我自己的花园和果园。』
他转动著钮扣，『我还要一大群可爱的孩子。』
顿时，一群活泼可爱的孩子在宽敞的房子裡玩耍。他又迫不及待地将钮扣向右转了一大半。
时光如梭，他还没有看到花园裡开放的鲜花和果园裡纍纍的果实，一切就被白茫茫的大雪所覆盖了。再看看自己，鬚髮皆白。
他懊悔不已，『我情愿一步步走完一生，也不要这样匆匆而过！』
他把扣子猛力向左转，他又回到那棵大树下等著可爱的女友。他的焦躁烟消云散了，他看见花草迎风摇摆，鸟叫声是如此悦耳，还有树干上爬行的小动物是那麼悠閒自在。
人生是一个过程，不是一个目的地，你必须一步、一步地走，才能体会其中的乐趣。
当你去搭火车，你认為火车的功用是什麼？当然是将乘客载到目的地。这是一般人的典型回答。
但為什麼火车的功用不能是载客欣赏沿途的明媚风光呢？那不是更有趣吗？
我们来到世上并不只是為了达成各式各样的目标，也不是像火车一样，只為了抵达各个车站。我们是来体验人生的。
『享受活著』本身就是这躺旅程的目的。
当你有了这样的认知，一旦旅程遇到障碍、一旦你坐的那辆火车误点或是因故障而暂停，你也不会感到挫折、沮丧或生气；相反的，你会利用这个机会走下火车，看看不同的风景，那将是完全不同的体验。
生命的目的并不在道路的尽头，而是在整条道路上。
因為美好的风景并不在目的地，而是在每一步路、每一个景、每一个呼吸，每一个心跳，不论你在那裡，那裡就是你的目的地。
所以，不管你的目标是什麼，记住，一定要享受过程。

oldman, This thread's name is a literal translation of a Chinese proverb '人生七十古来稀'. As a non-Chinese reader, I'm quite surprised that you're aware that this is an obituary thread.  All Good Things Come To An End |
