Solution
Early morning walks, meditation and the practice of treating both success and failure, joy and sorrow with the same composure will naturally increase our life span on this planet. Listening to good music and reading good books, not only textbooks, can drastically reduce unpleasant stress. Thus we can maintain a calm temperament on all occasions.
