A young woman is sharing her story about finding thyroid cancer:
An important message from a young woman about finding breast lumps:
We often ignore that good health requires some efforts; Chinese sages have an old quotes that
cultivate healthy habits to longevity. Please see translation below:
Get up early in the morning, sleep well at night, eat less than 70% of fullness, and run regularly,
laugh often, don’t worry too much, keep oneself busy every day, these are good ways for staying young.
Walk 5000 Steps every day, sleep at least 7 hours every night.
Do not over indulge on food, live a balanced life of work and rest.
Be happy and content. Don’t make unnecessary complaints.
Love others as if loving oneself; help others from the bottom of your heart.
“Tolerance” is building for future blessing; “Happiness” is good for longevity,
“Exercise” is the foundation for health; “Meditation” is good for the mind.
Do consider life as an adventurous journey; do not take things too seriously.
A little of ten things daily:
Have a little smile
Talk a little softer
Have a little less temper
Work a little more
Make a little less excuses
Think a little harder
Be a little more efficient
Move a little faster
Talk a little sweeter
Have a little more courage
