Are older people certainly not able to afford a bit of madness and take on challenges? Of course they can, and even that would be advisable. Well, I'm talking about this topic because recently I saw a large group of elderly ladies and gentlemen (between 70 and 90 years old) on TV as they appeared in the "Got Talent" programme. They began to sing the song, what they created and they flurried everyone, the whole audience began to enjoy and smile. Their performance was really cool and with an idea. But most importantly, these people showed courage, desire and enthusiasm in spite of their age. However, I think about why many older people are closing in themselves and not being active too much. Not once I heard from people like that, why they have to do something more and that they are too old. Even from young people, I sometimes hear comments like: "What did these old people come here to do this in this age on stage?" Perhaps as the younger, we should open the door for the older ones more, so that they can feel more comfortable in more aspects of life? After all, age cannot limit us in achieving our goals.
Currently, the weather is very unpleasant, it's raining, and soon it will be snowing, it's cold and windy. Many people sit at home and think that they can not do any sport outside in such weather, because it's uncomfortable, and I have heard many times that they can not do what they want because of the conditions. Also, many people give up their plans when they see bad weather outside the window. For example, when I told some people that I had training in such weather, they reacted with great surprise - "Well, how can you practice in such weather when it's close to 2 ° C outside, it's raining and there is a very big wind". Then I explained to them that "there is no bad weather is only bad clothing" and regardless of external factors, you must achieve your goals. In my case, I want to increase my football skills, and that it's outside, and I have no influence on it. To sum up, bad weather can verify, how much you care about something and wheth...
Wow, thanks for this! This tone is so different from the typical young people's complaints about old ladies pushing through on busses and forcing them to give up their seats.
OdpowiedzUsuńI agree with you, age cannot limit us in achieving our goals, it's really great when older people decide to realise their passions or dreams, for example travelling to foreign countries and running marathons. Few weeks ago I saw on TV the "Seniors's parade" and I could only smile when I heard these people talking about their active lives, passions and achieving their goals.
