Growing Old...

welll...i m growing old now... ;-) ...i had this feeling yesterday...something triggered this feeling ....i dont know what....i have sm years of my youth left..but then i realised that middle age and old age are a much larger part of our lives than the youth part...and still we give up so soon....in their middle/old age,most ppl start thinking that they know everything that is there to know...that they have experienced almost everything that life can offer....this actually changes their attitude to the "i've been there" attitude...they are no longer excited about life...this limits their growth....i remember once i read somewhere that the abitlity of a child to learn a new language is way too greater than an adult...this just shows the difference in the curiosity level of a child and an adult..the way children lead their lives is an example for all of us...the way they see each day as a new day with limitless possibilities....but as we grow old we lose this perspective and come to arrive at the conclusion that "we know everything"....so i think the best way to grow old is to stay young or keep the child in you alive....so that u keep learning and growing in every way...
