Dear Taichung Happiers,

It’s never too late to learn Grandpa’s lovely vocabulary:
BFF= Best Friend Fainted
BYOT= Bring Your Own Teeth
CBM= Covered by Medicare
LMDO= Laughing My Dentures Out
GGPBL= Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low!

Is life full of paradoxes? American radio and television writer Andy Rooney (January 14, 1919 – November 4, 2011) exhibited the curious one: “It’s paradoxical, that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn’t appeal to anyone.” Although most Happiers are at a young age, our host Micro is encouraging Happiers to hit the real notion of healthy aging—for the happier future of our family, friends, and ourselves. Welcome to join us in experiencing this brain exercise together.

Grandparents are luminous yet lonely philosophers—sometimes, we just can’t completely catch their words of wisdom—in fact, they need our babysitting some other time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4repMIYGdP8 How we wish age reversal could be just one pill away! Harvard genetics Professor David Sinclair assures us--yes, it will be, in a few years. Before winning awards, Professor David Sinclair had struggled with facing numerous doubts about the effects of restoring Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD), which is a molecule naturally produced in humans. According to his research results, NAD can reverse cells’ aging process, yet the levels of NAD drop by as much as 50% when people grow older; restoring NAD is hoped to serve a successful age reversal.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiCvqnUIe04

“Growing into your future with health and grace and beauty doesn’t have to take all your time. It rather requires a dedication to caring for yourself as if you were rare and precious, which you are, and regarding all life around you as equally so, which it is”, Award-winning author Victoria Moran shares this secret tip of staying young. However, the truth is you don’t know you don’t know until you know how much better you are than you know. Even self-actualization of the elderly can not only develop the workforce diversity, but also tackle their potential loneliness and depression; giving them more love makes our ideas fly and the supporting feasible.http://www.wsj.com/articles/graying-japan-tries-to-embrace-the-golden-years-1448808028 Most importantly, natural aptitudes of grandparents can establish the Island of Intangible Treasure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR6ClQl8UZg&app=desktop

For healthy and happy aging, how can we re-define “time”? Time is always like Mama’s cooking—we cannot start learning it’s the best, until we lose it. However, taking enough notice always earns us the unexpected like English writer Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) addressed “The compensation of growing old...was simply this; that the passions remain as strong as ever, but one has gained - at last! - the power which adds the supreme flavor to existence, - the power of taking hold of experience, of turning it round, slowly, in the light.” Now, let’s have a witness tour. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/27/nyregion/the-wisdom-of-the-aged.html?_r=1 These stories are also indicating the priceless present of living in the present, aren’t they? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K3H2VqQKcc

From “Live In The Present” (by Henry Brown)

Just live in the present and not the future or the past
It is only what you do right now that truly will last and last

Remember by living in the present that’s the gift God has given you
You will find that your past and your future will never make you blue

Ohhhhhhh, how I miss the Trevi Fountain in Rome! Nevertheless, there’s no need to worry at all. Italian actress Sophia Loren gave us a reassuring smile and a “fountain of youth”: “it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” So, ladies and gentlemen, please bring your curious mind to share with us. See? These Grandpas’ Gangnam Style surely keeps the doctor away! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzPZDg9OLtc Join us. Thanks!!!





With Gratitude,
Jasmine
