1. You must move out from your parentโs house.
An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isnโt it? Now have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When youโre young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.
This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.
Dedicated to all my senior friends ~ itโs time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.

The Last Citizen of the Soviet Union.
On May 18, 1991, Soviet cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev launched aboard Soyuz TM-12 for what was supposed to be a routine five-month mission aboard the Mir space station.
While he floated 250 miles above Earth, the country that sent him into space quietly ceased to exist.
The Soviet Union dissolved on December 26, 1991. His hometown of Leningrad became St. Petersburg. The newly formed Russian space agency, crippled by economic chaos, literally could not afford a return flight.
Krikalev was stranded.
To raise desperate funds, Russia began selling seats on supply missions to other nations, sending up an Austrian cosmonaut and a Japanese journalist, but Krikalev was told he had to remain on board to keep Mir running.
His mission stretched on with no clear end date in sight.
Finally, after 311 agonizing days in orbit, more than double his original plan, a German-funded mission provided the capsule needed to bring him home on March 25, 1992.
When he stepped out onto Kazakh soil, he was still wearing a flight suit with the flag of a nation that no longer existed.
He had left Earth as a Soviet citizen.
He returned a year later as a Russian one.
