As at the time of going to press with this book, I am fifty years old. I thank God Almighty who has kept me safe all these years. I know a good number of my age mates who died in their twenties. Some died in their thirties while some died in their forties. Had it been I also died earlier, this piece of writing would not have come your way. The reason is, the longer you live, the more opportunity you have to accomplish new things. Success is like a journey. Life here on earth is also like a journey. The longer you live, the more you achieve. If you die before your time, that is the end of the road for you. We cannot avoid death, but we can postpone the day of our death. It is a proven fact that your life-style determines how long you live without your state of health interfering with the things you want to do. If your health span is vigorous, your life span will be extended. Dr Lester Breslow, a public health specialist from California, cited seven things that are likely to cause early death when he created a solemn portrait of self-destruction. In his portrait, he listed obesity and physical inactivity as the reminiscence of the ancient sins of gluttony and sloth. The others include both the predictable smoking and drinking too much of alcohol, sleeping too much or too little, eating between meals and skipping breakfast. Dr. Breslow's idea is good because so many things we do on a daily basis may enhance healthy living, while some may retard good health and lead to untimely death. All the important things that we need to do so as to live long and fulfill our destinies are what I am exerting myself to pen down in this volume. You must note, however, that it is not worth it to live long, while achieving little or nothing like Methuselah. Methuselah lived 969 years, but the only thing the Bible records about him is that he begat sons and daughters. Getting sons and daughters is good and okay, but you are expected to achieve some other important things that would distinguish you as an accomplished individual. For these reasons, reading this book brings threefold benefit. In the first place, it will help you to live long here on earth; it will also help you to accomplish your two-fold destinies. Dr. J. J.
