EDITORS NOTE
FROM THE EDITORS DESK
I
recently found myself intrigued and spending a considerable
amount of time, more frequently than I would like to admit,
thinking about a three letter word - “age”.
Yes, I realize this might sound a little strange, but these
thoughts have been woken and fuelled by a recent
event, my birth anniversary. Note - this was no
celebration; in fact I found it rather daunting.
Friends tried to comfort me, uttering words
like - “you’re not old – you’re still young“,
which sadly had a zero success rate in
up lifting my spirits, probably because
the words “you’re still young“ only
came from people older than me.
Nevertheless – apart from grey hair
appearing, and an unwelcome
abdominal transformation from
flat to a more rounded shape, I
have to admit; there is definitely
truth in the quote “to be old
and wise, you first have to be
young and stupid”.
Age brings maturity & wisdom in general, the instinctive knowledge about
the do and don’t do’s. We all follow our own journey, trying to reach our
goals. Although success has a different meaning to various people, age
provides you with the slight advantage in making wiser decisions and
ultimately better choices.
To be old
and wise,
you first have
to be young
and stupid
That’s obviously only true if you are one of those fortunate people who actually
learn from your mistakes and painful experiences. To be successful or not
is entirely up to ourselves, and is directly related to our choices. Everything
considered, becoming older might affect our physical appearance negatively,
but it’s a positive in intellect, experience, wisdom and maturity.
