was randomly browsing some article online and i came across this which is find it rather meaningful and true to a certain extent.

"We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.
There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success.

1. "You have to laugh and find humor every day."

2. "You`ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don`t even know it!"

3. "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don`t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn`t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change."

4. "Have no regrets. The elderly usually don`t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

everyone will grow old as years goes by, from being a baby to being a young kid to being a teenager to being a adult to being an elderly. 生老病死; its just part and parcel of everyone's life, there's no way we can escape. but no matter how much we complaint that we hate growing up, we have a choice whether if we want to be a more responsible and matured person so as to overcome every obstacles in life, or to be a irresponsible and immatured person who give up halfway and leave the problem hanging.

the hardest part about growing up is to let go of what we were used to, and moving on with something we are not.

totally agree.
