Accept the chronology but reject the psychology

"You are very outdated," Shirley commented. "People don't use Tipex anymore."

The person who is merely aging is a 55 year old person who tries to look like a 20 year old. There is a difference between that and a porson who doesn't mind looking 50, but can talk comfortably with a 20 year old.

I have long since adopted a brand new way of looking at my age: I accept the chronology but reject the psychology. I other words, I accept how old I am, but refuse to let it affect my outlook on life.
