The fountain of youth is our mind, our talents
and the
creativity we bring to our life and the lives of people around us. When
we learn to tap these sources, we will truly have defeated age. And no
matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities
within us and new beauty waiting to be born. Let's learn from the following
article.
Old age is winter, alas, for many people, but
for those who are wise and optimistic, it is the happy and fruitful time of
harvest.
So long as one continues to be amazed, one can delay growing old.
The entire life of a human being depends upon ”yes” and “no” uttered two or
three times between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five.
Old age arrives suddenly, as does the snow. One morning, on awakening, one
realizes that everything is white. It is by growing old that one learns to
remain young.
If someone declares that he is able to do everything at sixty, that he was
able to do at twenty, then he was not doing very much when he was twenty.
Old age embellishes everything. It has the effect of the setting sun on the
beautiful twilights of autumn.
As one grows old, one generally rids himself of his shortcomings because
they no longer serve any useful purpose.
There are four great periods in the life of a man: the one where he believe
in Santa Claus, the one where he no longer believes in Santa Claus, the one
where he is Santa Claus, and finally the one where he looks more and more
like Santa Claus.
The good side of this, as old as one might be, is that one is always younger
than he will ever be. The person who considers himself too old to learn
something has probably always been that way.
Now playing: I Have a Dream
The
secret of longevity is when you have learned what to do and how to do it
well. Then look for new things to learn knowing that at first you may
not do them well.
