Old age is a state of mind. Bernard Baruch, an American business executive once said, "Old age is always 15 years older than where I am right now".
I mean there is nothing wrong about growing older, everybody does it and there doesn't appear to be any other positive alternatives to it, but it's also something we need to approach with a good perspective.
I was out fly-fishing one day and ran into another angler in the river who was 90. He was fit, sharp, and good with a fly-rod. He said his only complaint was he couldn't see the fly as well as he used to so he was using bigger ones. I decided that day I would live to be able to fly-fish on a stream at 90.
Samuel Ullman, an american poet, once said, "Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."
Maybe Satchel Paige said it better, "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you was?"
