I'm getting old, I'm getting old too...

I remember that night was Saturday and I was at home on vacation. I usually work overtime until the early hours from Monday to Friday, and only have dinner at home on Saturdays and Sundays, and play DVDs to watch with my mother. That day, my mother cooked dinner as usual, and my father read the newspaper by himself. I played the DVD of "Poker King" starring Liu Qingyun and Louis Koo, which was also the last movie I watched with my mother.

At two o'clock in the morning, I heard my father yelling for me to help. I walked into the room and saw that my mother was lying on the ground and couldn't move. My father and I lifted my mother to the bed. At that time, she could not move her whole body. Feeling nauseous, I called the police, and 10 minutes later, the ambulance came to take my mother to the hospital, and she never set foot in the house again. In the early morning, before dawn, the hospital informed us to call all the family members to the hospital. The doctor said that my mother had a stroke and her brain stem had died. She was in the hospital on machine breathing, and after nine days her heart stopped and she was gone. I was 27 then.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. No one can violate this law. Everyone understands this principle, but when you really face it, it is another matter. Before my mother left, I still thought that my parents still have time, and I can treat them to a big meal after I struggle to earn a little more money. However, years are a silent thief, stealing your time bit by bit without you noticing. When I held the ice-cold hand of my mother whose heartbeat had stopped, and looked at my mother's pale face, I realized that there were many age spots and wrinkles on her face, but I never realized that she had already I'm not young anymore, how long has it been since I looked at my mother's face like this?

When I was younger, I thought that getting old and dying was so far away, that I always felt like I had a lot of time to splurge. Now looking at my friends who have known me for 20 years, and their children are all seven or eight years old, I realize that I am not young anymore.

I still remember when I was at the peak of fitness more than ten years ago, I could bench press 140 pounds (about 64 kg) with dumbbells eight times, which was heavier than my own weight at the time, and I could push 70 pounds with one arm, which is equivalent to holding it with one hand. Six packs of 5kg rice, it's unbelievable to think about it now. I recently went to the dumbbell bench press, and I can only push up to 55 pounds eight times on each side. The weight has become heavier, but the strength has become weaker. As I get older, my physical strength really can’t go back, and in recent years, my body has also experienced many small problems that I didn’t have before. But because of this, the older you get, the more you need to pay attention to your health, maintain your body, and exercise your body. I don't believe that I will lose to today's young people.

Although age does make your body function worse, your mentality is still very important, because your mentality affects your state. When your mentality still feels young, you will not look too old, and you can do things well. Maintain the energy and drive of youth. So in addition to training the body, but also training the mind. As we get older, our mentality also changes to a certain extent. Some people think that the older you get, the more secure your life is, and you have to have a stable job and income, but I am just the opposite. This year I quit my steady job to do what I love and explore the possibilities of my other self. If you want me to do a job safely and grow old, I will definitely not be reconciled, so when I have the conditions, stop and rest for a while.

Just get old, everyone can't escape the fate of getting old, it's nothing, make good use of the time now, do what you want to do, love the people you like, keep your passion for life, don't let yourself regret, be elegant Getting old is the most important thing.
