1. Establish social connections.
   (Social media connections don’t count.)
2. Keep physically active.
   (Leave the car at home and walk to the store.)
3. Pay attention to details.
   (But forget the details of mistakes made by your spouse, neighbour or preacher.)
4. Plan for life-long learning.
   (Learning the latest gossip doesn’t count.)
5. Give to others.
   (Giving them a piece of your mind doesn’t count.)
