Time, Age, Health, Beauty

When one is eighteen years old, just graduated from high school, one pretty much thinks they are indestructible.    This applies more to males than females, but females feel this way to a degree, especially when it comes to their looks and shapes of their bodies.

When males or females go to college and graduate from college, they perceive themselves as knowing everything, when in reality they know very little.

This lack of knowledge is worse these days because most college students memorize for the grade, retaining very little because of the perception that grades will get them a better job.

That is INCORRECT...

During my 45-year career from  1970 to 2015, not one employer hired me on the basis of my college grades or GPA.  This included colleges and universities that hired me to teach.

But the main issue about age, health, and beauty is that all three deteriorate faster than you realize.  That is to say that AGE moves by faster than one realizes even though it seems like life takes its sweet ass time passing by.

Everyone who I have ever talked to who is 60 years of age or older, swears they had no idea that time would move by so quickly...  or that they took for granted the passing of time while they were trying to live life.

I am in my seventies now, been retired for ten years, and fully understand and appreciate how quickly time has passed by me.    I am in relatively good health but there are many people my age, who did not take care of themselves and who are paying the price for that lifestyle now.

Whether you believe the old people or not, do yourself a favor and start thinking right now that time is flying by and that you need to take advantage of every minute you have from a variety of standpoints.
