被陌生人稱為老先生、老太太,被低年次的稱為老大哥、老大姐,被新進人員稱為老前輩,被同事背後稱為老人,都是令人莫可奈何的事,誰教自已的年紀相對的比較大,資歷比較久!
但只要有顆不老的心,你就可以有無限寬廣的理想,夢碎了也能一笑置之。你會活得一天比一天快樂,因為愛已活或正滋長在你的心頭。
要知道年青的心比得上世上所有的珍寶,財富即使再多,也永遠比不上一顆年青的心。你如能活到一百零五,看看四周的人,你會為自己還活著感到慶幸,最奇妙的是,你在起跑點上,就贏了你的同儕。
有首 Frank Sinatra 唱的 “Young At Heart” 就有如此之說。

For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind

And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart, or on it's way
