Growing Old

[Brahmanyan]

Here is a wonderful Power Point Presentation on Old Age forwarded to me :
http://www.slideshare.net/billblaz/aquarelas-3178536
If you cannot view the Power Point Presentation please read the transcript given here under.

• Water-colours of Marcel Reynaert
• Getting older is the only way to live long.
• The age of maturity is that age at which one is still young but is much more resourceful.
• What most torments me about the foolishness of my youth, is not the crazy things I have done...but the fact that I can’t go back and do them again.
• To get old is to go from passion to compassion.
• Many people never reach eighty because they waste time trying to stay at forty forever.
• At twenty, desire rules, at thirty, reason rules, and at forty, it’s time for good sense and judgement.
• Whoever is not beautiful at twenty, strong at thirty, rich at forty, nor wise at fifty, will never be beautiful or strong or rich or wise.
• When we pass sixty, there are fewer things that we think are absurd.
• Young people think the old are ridiculous. The old know that the young are ridiculous.
• A mature person goes back to find the serenity once enjoyed as a child
• Nothing passes by as quickly as the years.
• When I was young I was told “You’ll see when you’re fifty”. I’ve passed fifty but I don’t see anything .
• In the eyes of youth there burns a flame. In the eyes of the old there shines a light.
• The initiative of youth and the experience of the older each have equal value.
• There is a small child inside each one of us.
• Each age calls for it’s own appropriate behavior.
• Young people travel in groups, adults travel in pairs, and old people walk alone.
• Happy the one who was young as a youth, and happy the one who is wise in old age.
• We all want to grow old, and we all want to deny we have arrived there.
• WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE PASSING YEARS - HOW TO LIVE THEM, AND NOT JUST ACCUMULATE THEM,
• Musica: Roger Williams
• THE END
