Singles tennis and biking every day. Running. Swimming. Work up a sweat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Eat no added salt. No processed foods. No preservatives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Lottsa naps. Learn to nap everywhere and anywhere, on demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Don&#8217;t get stressed by anything. Pay your way out of stress. Whatever it costs is worth it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Don&#8217;t buy an investment you can&#8217;t sell tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Don&#8217;t ever work in a committee, unless you&#8217;re the chairman and boss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Don&#8217;t expect anything useful or intelligent from your fellow human. You won&#8217;t be disappointed. You may be occasionally surprised. Wait.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Don&#8217;t watch the market every day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Don&#8217;t ever build a vacation home. Buying is a lot cheaper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Don&#8217;t agonize on things you can&#8217;t do anything about. Like Trump&#8217;s presidency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Some irksome things will work themselves out if you do nothing. Trust me on this one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">+ Wake up. Ask yourself: &#8220;What&#8217;s the hardest thing I need to do today?&#8221; Do it. You&#8217;ll be on a high for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t tell me there&#8217;s no progress in the world<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The left is what we fished out of our ancient leaky toilet.
