“It’s amazing you have maintained so well. What’s the secret?” I asked spontaneously.
“I do not miss my gym and refuse to allow anyone to take away my smile. Hey, congratulate me, I just got married,” said the Canadian. I did.
For those who want to live life full, age is no bar, whether it is a teen like me, or the elderly like him.
I also met another friend. She has a beautiful face and an enviable hip. She’s rich and works in a neighbouring country. But there’s something missing. That smile of the Canadian. In fact, she suffered from optimism deficiency.
“How’s life?” I asked and she replied: “Oh, don’t ask me. I am so depressed.”Toxic company is hazardous. I wanted to run. Yet, she’s my dear friend. So, I told her: “When you feel down, remember people like Steve Jobs. Given away in adoption by Syrian dad, this hero fights cancer. See where he has taken the Apple company.”
She smiled. I think I won, at least for that moment.Talking about age, here’s a joke I heard:
“Doctor, I have pain in my right (leg) knee.”
“Oh, blame it on age.”“But I have no pain in my left knee!”
haha!! a teen like you!! indeed. cheers to your spirit!

Yes, you are right. Toxic company is bad. I'm glad you won. :)
ReplyDeleteI get so put off by negative people. But one of my good, positive friend confided in me recently: this positive attitude has really destroyed my life..
ReplyDeleteDont worry , be happy... An old saying but pretty much what people are forgetting these days.. Nice post and this brings everyone back to their teens I bet.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, a teen like you keeps us cheerful :). You are right, a cheerful outlook to life can really take us through sticky situations and cheerful company can immediately lift our mood. 65 going on 45 is a great place to be in life :).
ReplyDeleteMy dear teen, your 1000 watt smile keeps me motivated.... . enjoy life..
ReplyDeleteYou keep us smiling with your posts. Thanks a ton!
ReplyDeleteWell said friend. Keep up your good cheer.
ReplyDeleteRefusing to let anyone take away your smile ...... so much better than all the gyms in the world don't you think?
