- Feelings of happiness are more useful than sleep and food. Dr. Hinohara writes: „Man gains his energy not by eating or sleeping, but by having fun. Remember that as children, when we were having fun, we would forgot to eat and didn’t need sleep. It’s not different with adults.“ The secret to Japanese longevity is moderate consumption of food. The consumption of meat should be limited, twice a week for 100 grams is enough, the doctor says.
- Plan ahead. Fill your notebook with plans for the future. Thoughts are material – when you think about the future, you don’t have time to look back on your past and grieve over your problems.
grieve. - Spread the knowledge. Shigeaki Hinohara gave at least 150 lectures per year. Each lecture lasted up to an hour and a half, and he spent the entire time standing up.
- Don’t spare yourself! Physical activity does not necessarily have to be in the gym. Walking, riding a bike, taking the stairs instead of the elevator – it’s much better than doing nothing. The couch is the worst enemy, you have to rest actively.
- Read! Be inspired by your own book. It should help you define your purpose in life.
- Re-evaluate values. In the pursuit of material wealth, man forgets the essentials – love, caring, mercy. A wise man said on this subject: „Remember: no one knows when his hour will strike. You cannot take everything with you“.
- Find a teacher. Look for a role model. Try with all your might to surpass him.
