We all age, so what's great about it and what's not?

Answer 1

What's great is the wisdom and experiences you gain. What's not so great is gray hair, increasing aches and pains and your friends dying.

Answer 2

Great... Gaining experience, wisdom, compassion, and understanding of life. Becoming more comfortable with who you are physically and psychologically.

What's Not... Thinking things will never happen to you and find out they happen! Then spending months fixing what you could have prevented. For example, thinking you will never gain weight because you have never gained weight. Then, finding out that if you don't change your eating habits you do gain weight when you get older.

The most important lesson learned... Stretch, Stretch, Stretch daily and exercise! Don't exercise to excess where you are a fanatic. Just keep yourself in shape, walk, take yoga, swim... Your body does go down hill.

One more thing... Take vitamins and treat your body right by eating well. It does matter when you get older!

Answer 3

Age is Knowledge. You're able to make less mistakes. That should be how we all look at it. Too many times, we get caught up in being so young. Would you wanna be stuck with making the same kind of mistakes that you're doing now. I think not!

Answer 4

What's great about getting older...supposedly with age comes wisdom, knowledge, all that stuff...I tend to think that...hey, I made it through another year, YEA! Then I remind myself that so many people haven't. Kinda keeps me grounded. What's not great about getting older...your health tends to slide downhill, eventually, you're one year closer to death...

Answer 5

The older I become the less inhibited I become across the board. My judgment is better, and I make fewer mistakes, but I am less afraid to make a mistake. Go figure.

Answer 6

growing wisdom is good. growing wrinkles is bad.

Answer 7

I am using word "AGING" for "We all age".

Lets do some scratching on a piece of paper.

Lets draw a square and divide that square by a horizontal and a vertical line. Now, this square has four small squares.

1. Starting from left top, lets write "I Don't Know : You Don't Know" in first horizontal square. (Lets call this PHASE-I)

2. Write "I Don't Know : You Know" in second. (Lets call this PHASE-II)

3. Write "I Know : You Don't Know" in third(1st one is second row)(Lets call this PHASE-III)

4. Write "I Know : You Know" in fourth one(last in second row)
(Lets call this PHASE-IV)

And GREAT THING about AGING is "Going through from PHASE-I, PHASE-II, PHASE-III and PHASE-IV)

eg.

You don't know anyone at school before you joined there(PHASE-I).

When you introduce yourself to class, they know little about a new guy joining them(Probably they know your name, you don't know who they are)(PHASE-II, PHASE-III)

When they introduce themselves to your, you know little about them(probably their name)and they know you as well)(PHASE-IV)

This is a small portion of aging.

If you think, it in terms of years for any events, you will find this model fits into it.


Now,

Lets do another scratching on another piece of paper.

Lets draw another square and divide that square by a horizontal and a vertical line. Now, this square has four small squares.

1. Starting from left top, lets write "I Know : You Know" in first horizontal square. (Lets call this PHASE-I)

2. Write "I Know : You Don't Know" in second. (Lets call this PHASE-II)

3. Write "I Don't Know : YouKnow" in third(1st one is second row)(Lets call this PHASE-III)

4. Write "I Don't Know : You Don't Know" in fourth one(last in second row)
(Lets call this PHASE-IV)



And MYSTERIOUS THING(NOT GREAT THING) about AGING is again "Going through from PHASE-I, PHASE-II, PHASE-III and PHASE-IV)

Lets find one example.

I know I have to die, You know you have to die. I know it will not end the life, you may not know this. I may not know it will end the life, you know it and I don't know what happens after we die and you don't know either.


:) Lets be happy and use this model to be happy.

Answer 8

Growing... (not as in "growing taller")
