As I approach another year I'm realizing things that older people told me are becoming valuable lesson I should internalize now if I want more fulfilling years. My grandmother usually say having gray hair is a sign of honor and wisdom. I understood it then on the surface back when I was younger but now I understand. Its really  a privilege to reach old age  and not only that but to be of good mind and of relatively good health.  so this phase of life ideally should be more intentional as the goal is to at least be the old person that have achieved his dream. So realizing this from now won't allow you to get you to old age, but if you do you'll be glad you started as early as possible.
