What advice would a 70 or 80 year old person give about the way the life should be lived?
If I may, I would like to add to what Dan Maloney wrote, especially regarding his advice to “Act happy.”My father acted happy throughout his life. He had many friends, and he lived just past the age of 90. Not only did he act happy, he went out of his way to help others, including being a Boy Scout Leader for many years. I tend to take after him, almost always with a smile on my face, and I would certainly say that my life has been blessed with good fortune overall, with a few potholes along the way for contrast.I’ve endeavored to set a good example for those closest to me—especially my children, and on several occasions I’ve attempted to understand, and even explain, why acting happy works. Prior to the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, the best explanation I could come up with was the concept of fate called Karma, as in: “What goes around comes around.Now, I know that acting is serious business because it’s a law of nature, i.e., a force that operates much like the force of gravity. (We may not understand it, but it’s always there.) The habit of acting in a certain way becomes second nature, until we’re unable to act any other way because it brings us pleasure.If you combine acting happy with acting favorably toward others—for example, by not spreading negatives about others as Dan mentions, then you have a winning “recipe” for happiness. This is because the sensation of happiness emerges as a result of feeling that you’re in a correct social environment, i.e., a supportive and balanced one.Hopefully, I’ve whetted your appetite to explore this matter more, as it is indeed a way to influence your fate.

How do I convince my friend (who's 21 already) to finally grow up and stop playing victim all the time?
When we are young, many people have a wonderful "can do" mentality and try to help others. We see those close to us with all this potential to grow and develop. We tend to get involved beyond giving advice, and think this problem will be overcome and life will be wonderful for that person again.But reality comes crashing in, when we see the next crises is at hand.There are friends and/or relative that actually do get through a crises and then live happily ever after.There are those that dump their problems, which they cause themselves, on whoever they can find, that is willing to get involved.With experience we can learn to differentiate.Sometimes you have to accept people for who they are, just like you are who you are. You can't always get someone to be receptive to common sense.Be friends on a level that doesn't burn you out.
When do men finally grow up and become responsible?
I'm engaged to a man in his mid 40's who is not financially stable enough to take care of a family yet, but he says he wants one. He has many good qualities, but this is one thing I'm hesitant about because it could affect my future. He's never been married and has no kids. He works full time and has a stable job, but I'm not exactly sure how he manages to spend all of his income and not save anything. I know this because a couple things have come up in his life and he has not had the $ to pay for things, and has needed to set up payment plans. He also goes to those check cashing places for cash advances, which I don't believe is a good thing. I'm thinking of holding off on setting a wedding date until he works on his credit and gets some $ in savings. I'm very responsible, with near perfect credit and an emergency fund, contribute to my 401k to the match, etc, have my act together. It seemed like he had things together, too, until I asked more questions. If someone has been irresponsible in the past will they always be that way? Or is there a chance of a person changing their ways? I'm a single mom and doing just fine, I don't want someone to drag me down, I think essentially that's what I'm worried about.
Lacking in social and conversational skills, any advice?
Despite the fact that I am generally very confident and comfortable socially. I can’t help but feel like I’m missing something. I grew up in a small town, lived in the same house my whole life, went to the same tiny school my whole life, and kept to my small group of friends all thoughrought my time in middle and high school. I feel as though I have experienced very little in my life. And at this point I feel as though many have surpassed me socially. I listen to the complexity, the wittiness, and the intelligence of peoples conversations and humor. And I just don’t know how they do it... My brain doesn’t seem to function that way and I’m tired of it. Am I weird for feeling this way, any advice on how to improve?
