Seven steps – how not to feel old and tired and in the way.

Become a Guru

Become a Guru

1. Become a guru. All you need is plaid shorts and a towel. The entire outfit can be had for $7.99 in your local National Wholesale Liquidator store. What other business can you begin for such a low capital outlay? If you aren’t  close to a store, I can get you the outfit. Just add $3000 for postage and packing.

2.Never stop learning. Take up something new, a musical instrument, get a puppy, learn a foreign language, visit a foreign land.

3. Give up your crappy job, the one that’s tiring you out and making you feel old.  However much you’re earning isn’t worth the suffering. Find another that you’ll enjoy. See step 1. Enclose $6000 for postage and packing. What other business can you start for a mere $6007.99?

4. Meditate. Discover for yourself that you are not just this body, not this mind, not this set of ego and conditionings. If you want to learn a really good form, try: http://www.freemeditation.ca/

5. It’s time to give back. See: “It’s Time to Give Back. Entrepreneur launches a free online university. http://www.bit.ly/1afyD

6. Take a walk into town. Study the faces of the young or old, especially the miserable ones. Then go home and take a good look in the mirror – are you there yet, or even on your way? It’s decision time.

7. Meditate. It’s the best beauty treatment known to mankind.

8. Enjoy the recession.

9. Make friends with children – and stop counting…..

PS. I was only joking about becoming a guru – the postage and packing for the gear is actually $9000 – but ask yourself this, where else can you start a really good business for only $9007.99?

PPS. If you really manage to become a guru, don’t charge money.

PPPS. This is at the reqest of Richard Payment of Vancouver, Canada, a true friend and the greatest designer this side of the Ural Mountians.

    Thanks for great advice! I would add: make friends with children. They are a lot more fun than most adults. And if you’re having fun, who gives a damn how old you are?
