In an ever changing world , and I’m not just talking about the technological part, but the way the younger generation perceive thing , are you ready to adapt, or are you stuck in your ways ?
I've totally radically changed the way I live and work, my diet, my lifestyle since moving to the mountains in Spain … In an ever changing world , and I’m not just talking about the technological part, but the way the younger generation perceive thing , are you ready to adapt, or are you stuck in your ways ?
It's a lifestyle I enjoy now so wouldn't want to change it back to a more unhealthy one but open to expansion on further improvement …

I was thinking more about you mindset, but I agree about wanting a more tranquil life ..It's a lifestyle I enjoy now so wouldn't want to change it back to a more unhealthy one but open to expansion on further improvement …

I think my mind set is ageless … I know younger people than me who feel old and say things like "at my age blah blah blah" as if they were ancient! I’m not sure about the fact that I’m getting old in years , but London is not somewhere I can imagine myself living for much longer .
I think our needs change with experience rather than with just age … it's about making informed choices of what we want for ourselves rather than sticking with what we know for fear of change …

I reckon that's what happens as you get older..you gradually trade youth and the enthusiasm of ignorance for age, wisdom and insight...In an ever changing world , and I’m not just talking about the technological part, but the way the younger generation perceive thing , are you ready to adapt, or are you stuck in your ways ?

If you look at sport for example, there are many sportsman that carry on in their 50s and beyond. There are gym enthusiasts, especially among women , who are fitter in their 60s than in their 20s.Society expects us to behave in a certain manner..

There are quotes around from scholars in the 1400's complaining about "the youth of today" and about standards of intelligence having "dropped"

I never set "my clock" by society's expectations … there are 3 different society's (countries/cultures) in my family and if I tried to set my clock by any of them I'd be in a permanent quandary …Society expects us to behave in a certain manner..
I set my clock by what I want to do irrespective of if it's been done before or not …
When I was in secondary school (in France) I was told I wasn't clever enough to study maths and science at Bacalaureat level (A levels) so I'd have to do some general studies and become a secretary or similar … I told them I would do no such thing. I wanted to study "Travel and Tourism" … They told me it didn't exist... I replied I didn't care! That's what I wanted to study. I was so insistent that they ended up doing some research on courses and discovered that at the same Bac school where I was going to be doing my supposed "general studies to become a secretary" there was also a "Travel and Tourism" 3 year Bacalaureat course which they had known nothing about! I took the entry exam and passed!!
That's how I tend to go about my life

yeh, shaking it up and keeping things fresh and/or doing new things and never letting yourself get into a rut is always a good way to keep yourself in good form...and young at heart too I guess...I never really gave the last bit too much thought though, so
