News: February 2025 – Are You Old or Young?

If you’re in your 60s, are you old or young?

You are old if all you do is dwell on the past.
You are young if you still have dreams to chase and projects to complete.

You are old if you constantly complain about aches and pains.
You are young if you carry on despite them.

You are old if you grumble about the younger generations.
You are young if you engage with them, take an interest in their ideas, and embrace their energy.

You are old if you believe there is nothing left to learn.
You are young if you remain curious and eager to grow.

Age isn’t just about years, it’s about mindset. My 97-year-old father, soon to be 98, often says, “I’ll be an old man when I turn 100.” He may not move as swiftly as he once did, but he still has projects to work on and no intention of slowing down. “I’m not ready to die,” he says. “There’s too much to do.”

So, what about you? Are you old or young?
The choice is yours.
