・My friends choose to be around 10 years old, and they say in honorific terms that they are only the same age, and that they are not too young. Beginners in old age It is important to seize this feeling at age 70, and it's better to stay on good terms with younger friends (p77)

・I want bragging stories to be fun to listen to and have a punch line. What kind of punch line is that they went into an expensive store but ended up not being able to eat it and were turned down, or that they should go to a high-class hot spring inn as a couple but the service was poor probably because they used a coupon; just a small lie or exaggeration is necessary (p80)

・Don't force yourself to go out with “someone you don't even like” (p106)
