Mid-Life is Sooner Than You Think

Think that life begins at 40?

Yesterday night, an old acquaintance of mine appeared on TV. He said that 37 years old is already quite old. How that so?

The average life expectancy for women in Malaysia is 76 and 72 for men. So, the average is 74.

Thus, by 37 you already burned through half of your life. That’s a whooping 13 year difference from the ‘traditional’ 50 years old milestone.

Suddenly, the milestone is much sooner.What will you do if you adopt this alternative milestone? Will your priority still be the same? How will you use your time?
