Sometimes, we think it's unfair that we are not gifted in equal proportions the energy of youth, the wisdom of age and the resources of time. When we are young, we have the energy, the time and lack the wisdom of creating value for money.
In our middle age,we enjoy the luxury of wisdom to exchange value for money, little or no time and sapping energy. While at old age (other things being equal) both wisdom and money remains constant while energy is at a very low ebb.
And what seems like the worst part is we live life in forward motion. This life pattern can't be altered nor we have those three things in equal measures. It all simply points to the fact that we should keep living, play our part and make the right moves at every stage to maximize living.
