Average life expectancy of Singaporeans: 82.80 years old. Hmmm...

Isn't it 30yrs?

Such an experience does put a lot of things into perspective.

You are right. Shows how bad my math has become since the stroke

Maybe we are too ambitious, we don't hv to be too harsh on ourselves...
(am gd in giving myself reasons and excuses)
:rahrah:

I have no personal achievement too.
dunno sad or not sad , our job and family take up most of our time at this juncture

[ChiefKiasu]

MrsKiasu:

... do you feel any difference, say being more forgetful (like after our childbirth) or maybe part of the memory faded or otherwise?

My goodness, MrsKiasu. You must be an oracle. Memory is a big problem for me. I forget names very easily, but remember events when reminded. Kind of like the old days, but very much scarier since I forget every easily. Sigh. Keep pick pockets away from me.

There is no need to feel sad or not sad.
There is no right or wrong.
It is just a stage in lives.
Be happy is the most impt.
What is so gd about achieving x,y,z etc?

Recently I was reading this book by Stephen Covey. It is a posthumous work published by his children after they found his manuscript.


This part made me freeze: “What legacy do you want to leave in your personal & professional life? What do you want your family & friends to say about you 10 years from now?”

Ten years from now, my son will be 18 years old & doing NS liao. It is very sobering to me, thinking what sort of man would he have grown into, under my influence as a parent?

Ten years from now, I will be 50 years old but probably still nowhere in my career, which I intentionally put on the back burner so that I can focus on child rearing...which is ok with me, but now I think I should find more hobbies for some personal fulfillment. Kid will leave the nest. I cannot cling on forever. Seeing my mum still serving my brother (and his wife!)...not a good life.

I received a call for a check up say doc advised one year chk up for me in this case, after last year’s chk up. It makes me think more than usual, what are the things I would like to have it done…apart from more sayang, preparing my kids for their future, I still have that something left behind…I just hope I could get it started…I been nursing my internal self for quite a long time…

Its sobering. I would say that would lead to the next question 10 years from now... \"if only I have done this or that...\". While it is true that setting future goals is a good step forward, we must also ask ourselves what happens when we reflect on the things we should have done?

even my dd2 been telling me she could not remember alot of things..I hope this is not a sickness I could only tell her it only happens when we dont utilise it alot..everyday make it a point to remember abit and it will get better..for me, quite difficult, delete all schedules on my hp, then everyday would be a free day to me.

At we grow old, check-up, medical apt etc will start taking up more of our time.
