1. Take the stairs and always carry your own stuff
This represents a firm proponent of Dr. Hinohara, who still takes two steps at a time when climbing stairs.

2. Do not believe everything your doctor recommends or says
Explore, read, and educate yourself. You do not have to believe everything your doctor says.

3. Share what you know
Dr. Hinohara gives 150 lectures annually in schools, business communities, etc. He often shares lessons on war and peace. Do not forget that most of the lessons (90 minutes) are done standing up.

4. You do not have to retire
If you love the work you do, you do not have to retire.

5. Plan ahead
If you want to enjoy your life better, you need to have a busy schedule filled with different appointments, lectures, work, etc. Dr. Hinohara is planning to attend the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

6. Don't be overweight
Dr. Hinohara consumes a tablespoon of olive oil, orange juice, and coffee for breakfast. Cookies and milk for lunch, and rice, fish, and veggies for dinner. He consumes 100g of lean meat twice a week.

7. Energy does not come from sleeping a lot or eating well, it comes from feeling good
You will be happier and more energetic if you eliminate strict time-regulated rules. Be like children—have lots of fun until you feel sleepy or hungry.

8. It is wonderful to live long
He continues serving society, volunteers, works 18 hours per day, 7 days a week, and enjoys every single moment of his life.

9. Find a role model
The doctor usually asks himself what his father would do when he faces some issue.

10. Do not worry too much, life is unpredictable and full of incidents
The doctor was hijacked by the communist Red Army when he was 59 years old. He spent 4 days under 40-degree heat and was handcuffed to his seat. He is also amazed at how his body slowed down to adapt to deprivation.

11. Science alone cannot help or cure people
The doctor believes that every illness can be cured with liberal and visual arts. He also believes in the uniqueness of every single individual.

12. Do not be crazy for money
The doctor is more than aware that he cannot take anything with him when he goes!

13. Pain is mysterious
You have to do something fun if you want to forget about pain. The doctor found that music and animals can really help you to get rid of and manage your pain.

14. Be inspired
You must find inspiration in the world in order to motivate yourself. For example, he finds motivation in the poem "Abt Vogler" by Robert Browning.

Take the stairs and always carry your own stuff

Very sane and good advice. But we look for lifts even if going to the 1st floor and in the office, look for a peon to carry our luggage. This needs a change in our context.

Share what you know

Unfortunately, many people keep information/knowledge to themselves to underscore their importance in the organization.

Plan ahead

Vital for success. Realistic planning with a full listing of pros and cons is vital.

It is wonderful to live long

Yes. But plan finances, take good adequate health insurance. Many people do not plan finances properly and have problems when they face financial issues and depend on children. Never forget health insurance coverage.

Do not be crazy for money

If all of us adopt this principle, India will change. Half of our problems arise because we want more money. If I buy a Maruti, I start longing for a higher category car, and our demands become unending. Be satisfied and live contentedly. Exercise on a daily basis and be happy. Be genuinely broadminded and forgiving in nature.
