  five days a year. We hope you enjoy this message. Everyone asked a

  hundred year old man and his ninety eight year old wife their health secrets.
• 0:34
  The old man said, I'll tell you my secret. I've been married for
• 0:39
  seventy five years. I promised my wife when we got married that when we
• 0:45
  quarrel, the loser has to walk five miles. So I've been walking five
• 0:51
  miles every day for the past seventy five years. Everyone was amazed and asked
• 0:58
  again, but how come your wife is very healthy as well. The old
• 1:03
  man answered, well, that's the other secret. For seventy five years,
• 1:10
  every single day she has been following me to make sure I really walk the
• 1:15
  full five miles. We live in such a busy world. Everyone is always
• 1:33
  in such a hurry doing many things. In such an environment, we can
• 1:38
  often feel frazzled and stressed in such an environment. For our own physical,
• 1:44
  mental, and emotional health, we must make time for ourselves. We can
• 1:51
  do this without feelings of guilt or feeling like we are wasting our time.
