Age: accept the chronology but reject the psychology

"I am 61," Winston declared with a big grin. "But many people think I am 48 or 50."

Being old is not the same as acting old. The mind plays an important role in how we age.

There are people I know who are 55 year-old but who tries to look like a 20-year-old. But there are others who don't mind looking 50, but can talk comfortably with a 20-year-old.

There are friends I know who mourn the passage of time or deny it. I, instead, accept how old I am, but refuse to let it affect the outlook of my life.
