I know an uncle who is 80 years old and has gray hair, but he is very energetic and has a clear mind. The daily arrangement is very full, in addition to the family daily grocery shopping and cooking, will also take classes to learn instrumental music, singing, or hard and soft calligraphy, to participate in all kinds of activities, feel more energetic than young people.
This uncle likes to make friends, and in addition to his peers, he can also play with young people. Two years earlier, he studied instrumental music at the district university for the elderly, the electronic piano, Chinese soft, ethereal drums, a small success, and now he can use the ethereal drums to play a complete song.
He also especially likes to sing, home next to a store that sells goat's milk powder, will organize the neighborhood of the elderly every week to go singing together, he joined the inside became a group leader, set up a singing team, leading everyone to learn songs together, and then directly out of the goat's milk powder organization, the singing team to organize their own activities, a group of older people, twice a week to get together to sing, not a happy place.
After contacting him, I was very touched, not only because at the age of 80 he is still able to live such a full and happy life, but also because I feel that he has a very good state of mind, good health, and his spirit is also very good. Nowadays, many young people are suffering from social fears, autism, prison at work, emotional problems, etc. How can they live their lives? After contacting this uncle I often think, just keep it simple and do what you like!
The ideal old age, the first is to have a healthy body. After working for decades, I should still have some savings, and I can still receive a little bit of social security contributions every month. I don't have to worry about things at home, I don't have to help bring up my grandchildren, and I have plenty of time to do what I want to do.
Later on, I will have the opportunity to make friends, travel from time to time, visit more places, stay longer, and not be afraid to be born, to integrate into the local life, to have the opportunity to experience different cultures, enjoy different landscapes, and to feel the sparks of thinking with different people. I always think that if you are living in the world, you should take the opportunity to know more people, read more books, and walk through more places.
And at the same time, after decades of experience, you can still keep a simple and pure heart, full of curiosity about the world, willing to try, and constantly enrich themselves. In the end, more or less can leave something, do not expect to be seen by too many people, only hope that their own existence, practical help some people, in some people's life trajectory to leave some traces of it! Fearless world, not ashamed of the years!
