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.
