When you're young, try to be realistic; as you get older, become idealistic. You'll live longer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you try to stay young forever, you don't really live.
You spend a much larger part of your life being old, not young.
As you get older, you think about things differently from when you do in your twenties, when you think you'll live forever.
You can be 24 and continue to live like you're at college, or even continue to live like you're in high school. Or you can put on a shirt and tie and pretend to be an adult.
The thing to remember about being young is you eventually get old.
We're all idealistic when young.
When you're young, you don't especially think of yourself as being young. You're just alive and everything's interesting and you don't think of things in terms of age because you're not conscious of it.
My philosophy is very simple. To feel young, you must work as long as you can.
When I was younger, I was more self-conscious about living up to or surpassing the expectations of others. But as you get older, you start to build confidence.
Develop your eccentricities while you are young. That way, when you get old, people won't think you're going gaga.
