I never swam 15 times rotating in a pool without stopping, even though it's relatively small pool. While my son of course much younger age in the same pool can not keep up. In my heart i thought, "hmmm i was younger than him, not my age, but perhaps mentally or perhaps heart function, lung me or my muscle endurance".
Stay young by richard templar in the book "the rules of life" is to try new things, do not grumble or say things that ordinary people complain when they get older. It is not looking for a safe choice: it's about stay abreast of what's going on, do not stop doing things like cycling, because you think you're too old for it.
Staying young means mentally and emotionally you still have a high spirit alive, incredible passion, optimism, goals and purpose in life are still unclear. You are not easily discouraged, frustrated, blaming, not soluble only in nostalgia, or you do not do anything
When you are able to socialize, enjoy the beauty of social wisdom, you do not just shut myself in the house, you are not just fun to sit on the front porch coughing saw people passing by, your grandchildren play, you're still eager to set foot outside pick the sustenance of god, means you are still young.
When you always feel, blessings, love god, life, the earth is spread out for you, you are challenged to live this life, then you are still young
There was a man aged 75 years, according to the story still like camping, hiking, swimming, traveling, exploring places of interest. He means still young.
If you are still interested in learning new things, you have not mastered the language during this time, you still want to write, or even have a target to write a book, you constantly improve your science, you are still enthusiastic about learning, practicing the verses of allah, this means you are still young, despite your age is advanced
When you are not much to complain, grumble, you do not dissolve in the stories of the past, you do not often say: "i used to like this, so", or you rarely noises, expressions, moans that indicates that you are old, then you're still young.
If you can still go back in a hurry, walking fast or even a little run chase your scheduled departure time at the airport, you do not need anyone's help when lifting, pushing, pulling your luggage, it means that you are still young
Then, the question is, "how to keep you young, or the aging process can minimize?" because after all, as you age, physical, mental, emotional definite decline
The answer is very simple, "live in accordance with god's plan, the creator!"
God created the legs, arms as a means of motion. God created the ears to hear, eyes to see, the brain to think and so on. And, we are getting older, our muscle mass also decreases, the number of brain cells also decreased, the joints are getting stiff, heart function, lung are down, you become forgetful, intelektulity is reduced or is getting stupid, be slow ". However, according to the research it all happen if you do not use it or you do not provide good nutrition for physical, mental, spitual and brain.
Because, usually the older you get, the less activity you are, the less you move, work, read, learn, and the more often you are alone, then in accordance with the principle of "use it or you lose it", then you should still keep your body in accordance with mandate, so that god's design is used, function, not silenced until the rust ....... Hopefully you will remain young despite your age is definitely growing.
