About This Quote
The saying "your age is measured by your dreams not by the years" may not be as well-known as some other sayings about age and maturity, but it's certainly a popular saying that many people live by. With the pressure to maintain a certain social status, there is a lot of pressure placed on our young people. They are often expected to work harder than they would like to help support their family or friends or simply to fit in with society's expectations. But if their dreams don't align with their family's lifestyle, they often see themselves as failures at life and give up trying to achieve what they really want and need and dream of doing. This quote helps them realize that they can still achieve what they want and be happy at the same time.
