Читать книгу If I'd Only Known I'd Live This Long - David Boone's Beard - Страница 7

Go to any retirement community or senior’s club and you will hear at least one person complaining about getting old.

Invariably, it will be the same person who doesn’t accept responsibility for their own life, but wants to blame everyone else for everything that has come to pass in their life so far.

The reality is, we can either accept what comes with the territory of growing old or we can be miserable. If we want to live for a long time, we have to accept getting old as the consequence. If we want a long life, why be miserable the entire time?

Whenever I hear someone moaning about getting old, I suggest they tell their complaints to the people who died young and didn’t get their chance to grow old.

The alternative to growing old is dying young.
