About This Quote

When we were young, we used to think that age was nothing but a number. We would think that as we grew older, we would be able to accomplish more and learn more. As we grew older, we found that we had become wiser and our thoughts were becoming more refined.

As time passed and the older generation reached their golden years, we realized that this wasn’t true at all.
