You receive the shock when you are about fifty, so that the sixty will not be the same as the 50, at least this is what happened to me, you suddenly notice that you have lived half a century, and that you really have grown up, then you start to monitor what changes you have made, and ask yourself: Why No one has told us that we will go through what we are going through when we reach this age? And that's exactly what I'm trying to do here!

You know that you grew up when the girl said to you: “My uncle,” then she turns right and easy, then you discover with sorrow that the beautiful means you, when someone gives up his seat on the bus to you, and you thank him and hate him at the same time, when you go to a doctor who is 30 years younger than you, complain and say There is nothing wrong with you. It is the age. When you meet an old friend and are surprised by what he looked like, then you suddenly remember that he is your age, when you find someone who frowns you, simplifies you and jokes and tells you who is your age, you should show dignity.

How did my life pass so quickly, and what did I do in my life, and how did it pass this way? Are the golden questions that will be repeated day and night, even if you have some accomplishments for you, and your life's tape with all its details will always be ready to pass before your eyes when it evokes memory.
Regret will torment you, not because of the failed experiences you had in your life, nor because of decisions you made that turned out to be wrong, nor for options that you should not have chosen, not even to the foolishness you committed, you did all of this according to what you saw then, and your human nature that created It is unfair that you bear the burden of that, because you are not aware of the unseen, nor of what fate has in store for you.
Rather, you regret the time you wasted, the days and months that you wasted in your life without doing anything or accomplishing something, any matter, the time that you were looking for any way to kill him, the time that you were in a hurry to pass, the time that you put in fights Marginal, in which the prevailing and the defeated are equal to the time you spent in sadness over a matter that you later discovered is not worthy, or the time of your case frightened by something that did not happen, on the time you spent to satisfy others, they did not accept, and did not do what you liked.
Personally, I decided to come to terms with myself, to come to terms with my life, and to live the thrill of the stage, I decided not to dye my hair, and not to change my hints, and to keep joking and laughing as I could as a way, and more importantly, to keep the bad boy inside me

On the other hand, you will feel the clarity of your mind, that the picture has become clear, and all things have become true to size, and the cloud that prevented you from seeing things has cleared, you will see the world with a new look as if you were watching a match, saying the player should have done so and so and so Then, go away.
Rather, you will see the world as if a group of foolish children are fighting for a toy or a piece of candy and that you have to rise above it. In general, you will think that you no longer belong to this world, you belong to the other world, all of the matter is that you are waiting for the king.
But you are confused about what to do with what is left for you from the time, you remember what usually happens with the death row, they ask him, what is your last desire, so you go to the same act, and ask yourself what is her last desire in life, and in this limited space left for her.
You are confused a lot, you find yourself as if you are back in your teens, you want everything, you want to celebrate yourself, you want to discover yourself again, you want to rest, but what if God extended your age, for example, to eighty, do you spend twenty years like this waiting for death? ? No .. you want to work hard until the last minute.
Want to live and settle? No .. you want to carry your little bag behind your back and leave, the backpackers never stop.
It is a hot internal dialogue.
Personally, I decided to come to terms with myself, to reconcile with my age, and to live the thrill of the stage, I decided not to dye my hair, and not to change my hints, and to keep joking and laughing as I could for that way, and most importantly, to keep the naughty boy inside me, who was forced in motion, driven by astonishment Adventurous, addicted to new experiences.
When I grew up I decided not to take on the role of a retiree, but rather always look for a mission to do, a new task once it is finished until I go to another, "If I finish it, focus," I finish a job to start another.

I noticed early on that there is a big difference between growing old and being old, we grow old when we lose hope, when we do not want anything, when we feel that our existence is excessive to human needs, and that the curtain is lowered and we no longer have a role to play, when we lack the pleasure of being, In this sense, aging is a condition, not a stage of life, a condition that you may find young people to live in.
Frankly, even though it does not concern me, I was very excited when I read that history was filled with people who were shining in their late lives, among them Michelangelo, Bach and Edison who filed patents at the age of eighty, and Stachel Paige, the baseball player who had been participating in the big tournaments until the age of nine Its fifty.
In one article, Simone de Beauvoir wrote: "There is one solution so that aging does not become an absurd simulation of our previous lives, and that is to continue to pursue goals that give our existence meaning, such as dedication to people, groups, or issues, be they social, political, intellectual, or creative." .
Remember my advice: Be a fighter until the last minute, and if you are going to lose some things then make sure your heart is not among them.

When you reach what you have reached, you will feel that you have a lot of lessons that I learned from the harsh and long life, which paid a heavy price for it, but the shocking question: What is the benefit of all this, what is the benefit of all these lessons, and what do you do with this wisdom that you have acquired?
About thirty years ago I read to one of them that we must live twice, a life in which we learn, and a life in which we apply what we have learned, so what is the point of lessons that cannot be applied? Do you imagine that I remember that despite all this time? Maybe because I was surprised as you are now.
Thinking that it is better to pass on your experience, lessons and wisdom to young people, your evidence for this is what Jose Saramago said: Neither young people know what they can, nor old age you can know.
But young people, and with them the right, want to live their experience, in their own way, their privacy, because life is handcraft, made with the skill and privacy of its maker and his taste.
Young people, with whom they have the right, do not want a ready-made garment, so they reject the boring advice of adults, ignore it and embark on life, stumble once and succeed another, march one time and fall another, until they reach this age so one of them says what do I do now with my lessons and wisdom, so let me teach it to young people, and a position will be The youth as I mentioned earlier, and so the circle does not stop.

Now ... what are you doing then if you get older?
Remember my advice: Be a fighter until the last minute, and if you are going to lose some things then make sure that your heart is not among them, make sure that you never lose the strength of your heart.
