I met a senior citizen man in Matnog, Sorsogon look likes 40 but is real age is 61. His secret eating to much vegetables and lots of exercises with no vises like cigarette and alcohol. 107 year old man look like 60 in a forest tip of Lake Buhi, Camarines Sur home of the smallest commercial fish in the world. He told me with my American fellow Latter Day Saint (Missionaries) in 1997. We done arm wrestling the old man is so strong. Living in pollution free, eating lots of vegetables and fish only lots of omega-3. Noice pollution only the sound of the rushing water from the falls, [song of birds, insects and other creatures] Eating lots of sweet potatoes. My Korean friend 52 years old look like 40 still sexy and cute. My mom 58 looks like 45 and me turning 33 this June looks like 23. Korean students thought I’m just finished in college cos in Korea 22 graduation age for 4-years course (Korean call it 4-year major). I eat lots of carrots, eat vegetables, fruits, fish and nutritious foods. I eat meat sparingly. I’m a sportsman. Play sports of any kind and stay 95% optimist thinking in my life. Staying happy and serving people and I love my critics and the people who hates me I forgave them. “When I do good I feel good. ” -Franklin Roosevelt . I do appreciate thy blog coz they are so meaningful. In your photo you look like an eighteen years old university girl. Thank you very much! God bless you. God speed the right.

Clem, thanks for sharing your view. Most definitely, communication is key to successful relationships. Some of my friends are divorcing over all kinds of reasons but the lack of communication and understanding is often cited as the root cause!

I have always believed that communication is the one single most important ingredient to successful relationships. I feel that, with proper communication, there is no problem that is to great that any relationship can not endure. Too strong or unrealistic? I don’t think so.

@Rachel, I am glad that you’ve enjoyed the joke and found the ending unexpected.

@Pink Ink, hmmm…will it help if you explain in words how your mind works to him? It may just reduce misunderstandings and misinterpretations, as this joke is meant to illustrate.

Oh, Evelyn! That’s a funny story.

My poor husband knows that he’s supposed to read my mind. He just hasn’t figured it out yet.

Hi,
Yes, to all three discussion questions! I always think my husband should read my mind! Ha. If I actually used words more there might be less arguing on what he’s supposed to be doing….

Laughed all the way through the story and did not see the end coming.

@Lance, lucky you to have a wife who is able to read you Communication breakdowns have accounted for many divorces that we see around. It is a good idea to spend time learning the art of skilful communication, leaving little to misinterpretations.

@Dr Carson, thanks for sharing! I can just imagine the scene with you and your kids…lol!!

@Harmony, better late than never…lol!! Hey…you just thought me a very powerful phrase “be responsible for the energy you bring to people”. I like that!!

@Jean, I’d agree that humor is tricky. I refrain from judging the man in the story. Neither do I think that the picture of the woman is really “ugly”. But I laugh because the story is a reflection of how our mind works and how misinterpretations can lead us to problems. It is a case of laughing at myself.

@Maya, good for you. I’ve also always had difficult expressing myself with words too. But I find that I cannot continue assuming that others will know my thoughts, if I do not learn to verbalize them.

@Cath, I’d say that reading articles on the web can be a tricky business too. It’s always a good idea to clarify the intent or think that there are more than one way to looking at a single thing.

@natural, thanks for being so honest about what you like in your communications with others….lol!!
