Chris at Inspirational Insights and Niko of Niko’s Blog asked me this question:
How old is old?
How? I really don’t know but I believe that it is not measured up by your age. A 90 year old man can go fishing and ball room dancing whilst a 20 year old guy cannot even do cha cah for 2 minutes. I think aside from one’s perspective on his true age, getting old is accompanied by physical limitation. To be young, keep your mind and body healthy.
