How to Stay Young 保持青春的秘诀

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.

把那些无关紧要的数字抛至脑后。包括年龄，体重和身高让医生去为它们操心。不然，你为什么要付钱给他或她。

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

只和快乐的人做朋友。那些满腹牢骚的人会让你情绪低落。

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. And idle brain is the devil's workshop.

不断学习，多学一些关于电脑、手工制作、园艺之类的什么都行。永远不要让大脑一片空白，空白的大脑是魔鬼的工作间。

4. Enjoy the simple things.

从小事中寻找乐趣。

5. Laugh often, long and loud, Laugh until you gasp for breath.

开怀大笑，直到你笑得喘不过气来。

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourselves. Be alive while you are alive.

偶尔让眼泪流下来。忍耐，悲痛，然后继续前进。整个人生中，唯一的终生伴侣是你自己。活就应该活得精彩。

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.

让你所爱的一切围绕在身边，不管是家人，还是宠物、纪念品，音乐、植物、爱好。

8. Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

珍爱你的健康。如果状况很好，保持它。如果不稳定，改善它。如果你无法改善，就寻求帮助。

9. Don't take guilt trips, Take a trip to the mall, to the next country, to a foreign country, but not to where the guilt is.

不要去可能让你悔恨的地方旅行。可以去逛逛街，去邻近的乡下，去国外，但可能让你悔恨的地方永远不要去。

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. And always remember:Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take breath away.

告诉你爱的人：你爱他们，不放过每一个表达爱的机会。要永远记住：生命的尺度不是寿命的长短，而是一生中有过多少激动人心的时刻。
