We, the people that were born between 1940-1980 are the blessed ones

Our life is a living proof:

 While playing and riding bicycles, we never wore helmets.

 After school, we played until dusk. We never watched TV.

 We played with real friends , not internet friends.

 If we ever felt thirsty, we drank tap water not bottled water.

 We never got ill although we used to share the same glass of juice with four friends

 We never gained weight although we used to eat a lot of rice everyday.

 Nothing happened to our feet despite roaming bare-feet.

 our mother and father never used any supplements to keep us healthy.

 We used to create our own toys and play with them.

 Our parents were not rich.  They gave us love, not worldly materials.

 We never had cellphones, DVDs, play station, XBox, video games, personal computers, internet chat - but we had real friends.

 We visited our friend's home uninvited and enjoyed food with them.

 unlike your world we had Relatives who lived close by so family time and ties were enjoyed together.

 We may have been in black and white photos but you can find colourful memories in those photos.

 We are a unique and the most understanding generation, because

*we are the last generation who listened to their parents*.  *Also , the first who have had to listen to their children.*

We are a LIMITED edition!  So you better:

Enjoy our company.

Learn from us.

Treasure us.

Before we disappear from Earth and your lives...

Life’s beautiful!
