About This Quote

Growing up is optional. Old age is mandatory. Growing old is mandatory. These are strong words from a man who was very wise and had experienced a lot in his life.

He had gone through a lot of ups and downs, but at some point he had learned from his mistakes. Both old age and growing up are not an easy affair. No one likes to grow old and some people don’t want to grow up either.

There are a lot of things that a person needs to deal with as he or she grows older, especially issues concerning the heart and head. We only have so many years on this earth and it would be great if we could have our own happy endings before we have to say goodbye to the world forever.
