Age does concern a lot of us; I have a few friends who are pushing 40 and are chilling out more than the guys I know in their 20s. And, I also know guys in their 20s and early 30s who are mostly into controlling their time, playing someone else, trying for that one thing and missing it and feeling really really low, and keeping things for a later date.
I had this idea of changing the way we age to make all of us feel better about our age and to enforce the idea that there are only a few more weekends left. Work expands to the time it is allotted, the same goes for our thinking w.r.t our age. I think, when you are 40, you have the power to let-go and chill more often. But when you are 20, all you do is cry about why am I not progressing quickly (although, you might be).
I’ve heard that the 40 is the new 20; but it would be a whole lot better if it was the other way around…I am wondering, will-it-change-our-mind-set altogether…it might!...Because, just like we have the concept of DST (Daylight Saving Time) to get a few more hours of daylight in our lives, we can pretty much get started with the concept of changing our age all of a sudden to get more life out of our lives (and may be, change it back after a few years).
Let me know if this makes sense, if not, try again.
