Maintaining a sense of independence and privacy can contribute to a fulfilling and autonomous lifestyle.
Hold on to your bank deposits and assets with yourself: Financial independence and security are crucial aspects of a comfortable old age.
Don't depend only on your children's promise to care for you when you grow old as their priorities change with time: Relying solely on others, especially family, might not always be feasible. It's important to plan for one's own well-being.
Expand your circle of friends to include those who will outlive you: Building a diverse social network ensures companionship and support throughout life.
Do not compare and expect nothing from others: Avoiding comparisons and having realistic expectations can lead to a more content and less stressful life.
Do not meddle in the life of your children. Let them live THEIR life not yours: Respecting the autonomy of your children helps maintain healthy relationships.

Do not use old age as your shield and justification to demand care, respect, and attention: Earn respect through your actions and maintain a positive attitude, rather than relying on age as a reason for special treatment.
Listen to what others say but think and act independently: Balancing input from others with independent decision-making fosters personal growth.
Do not beg, only pray to God, and at all, ask for his forgiveness: Cultivating a sense of humility and spirituality can contribute to emotional well-being.
Take good care of your health: Prioritizing health through a balanced diet, regular medical attention, and maintaining an active lifestyle is crucial for a high quality of life in old age.
Do not retire from life: Remaining engaged and enthusiastic about life, pursuing interests, and staying socially active are essential for a fulfilling and meaningful existence.
