Decade Rules of Life

DECADE RULES OF LIFE Birth: Don’t worry that your diapers are full, its only temporary. Age 10: Don’t worry that you don’t understand members of the opposite sex. You don’t have to spend the rest of your life with one anyway. Age 20: Be grateful you don’t understand members of the opposite sex. You can spend the rest of your life with one trying to figure it out. Age 30: Find at least one mentor and let them help you learn. Age 40: Become a mentor for at least one person and help them learn. Age 50: Don’t worry that your retirement account is half what you planned at 30, you really don’t want all that stuff anyway. Age 60 & up: Cherish every day today, and look forward to every tomorrow. On your deathbed: Don’t worry that your diapers are full, its only temporary. Besides, your dignity is in your spirit not your diapers.
