For me, being able to live a long life is a phenomenal achievement. And I am really hoping that I will have a long , happy and healthy life like many people in my circle.
I know some people at work who have become sick and died way before their pension age. It is so sad to think that they have not enjoyed their pension life.
While I am hoping to live a long life, I am also trying to enjoy every present moment. I do not want to wait until I am retired before I do the things I want to do.
Whether I will have a long or short life, I would not now. That is also something I cannot control. For this reason, I am trying to focus on the state of my happiness everyday.
