Mitch talked about aging

Aging

A friend of mine was talking about age,

he said: If I were 21, 22, 23, any..

Thou, he did not mentioned about 18, 19, 20..

I read a book which quoted below..

"...He smiled. 'You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives.Unfulfilled
lives. Lives that haven't found meaning.
Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't
want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to
see more, do more. You can't wait until sixty-five..."

Putting myself at the age of 30, well..

I might say: "I wish I were 25"

Instead, I embrace the moment now.

It's now I'm living in.

It's funny when one of my coach talked about 'too old, too young'

People tends to run away from responsibility by saying, I'm too old, I'm too young.

Whoot!

Someone in the training room sounds up: 'It's a fact of aging, nothing to do with responsibility.'

That's right, but, under what circumstances people will say: 'too old/young'?

When something is not working? Did it rang any bell?

It's funny when a man keep telling himself, 'I'm too young, i'm too young'

And.. at a point of life when he woke up, 'I'm too old already'

Question is..

When's the turning point? And what defines old from young? 20? 30? 40?

So stop telling or manipulate anyone whether he's too young, or too old to do something. *2
