Welcome Message from the President

Thank you for taking a look at AS4QoL. The fact you are looking at us reflects your humane and kind personality: viz., you care.
We all know that a proper level of material support is essential in our lives, and as we age over time we need certain levels of mental support of quality of life (QoL) to live comfortable, independent, sociably interactive, and happy. And most of all at most of the time, we all try hard not be a burden to society as we age. We aspire to age with a feeling of achievement, a taste of useful contributions to society, near full satisfaction, a journey with grace, and messages to leave behind with knowledge, experience, teachings, findings and wisdom for the benefit of our future generations. Yes, you can: Read, write and contribute to our mouthpiece, or the journal of AS4QoL (JAS4QoL), which dwells in all aspects of QoL for humans and all. JAS4QoL is an online open-viewing medium, and everyone can therefore feel free to access to know more about wholesome QoL.
After reading and when enthusiasm and passion starts brewing in you with useful findings and overflowing feeling of sharing, please get onboard, and join us in our good cause. Read our vision and mission, and come ride along with us with passion. Do read published works, feel free to contribute to our manuscript publication in JAS4QoL, and participate in our upcoming international meetings and all. So, listen to your heart.
