多功能的scooter

「老而彌堅」形容人年紀愈老而身體愈健康，精神愈旺盛。這句成語出自:

清 · 錢湘《續刻蕩寇志序》：「因卻不允。吾不知其一介不取之心，至老而彌堅也。」

現在的人都很懂得養生， 懂得享受生活 ，加上醫學發達 ，長壽的人越來越多， 也就是說老而彌堅的人越來越多，但是有一個現象，不知道您有沒有注意到， 就是上了年紀的人聚在一起 ，不經意的總是會聊健康，每個人都在述說自己身體大大小小的毛病，吃甚麼藥……等等。

日前讀到下面這篇短文 ，寫得很真切 ，真是說到我心坎裡了， 而且我非常認同這位作者的作法與生活心態 ，本想翻譯成中文，但是我覺得看原文比較傳神 ，在此分享給您:

Getting older has its drawbacks, but I guess there arent too many good alternatives to getting older. Whenever you see a gathering of seniors, it is an even bet they are talking about everything that is wrong with them.

You know, the usual, memory, urinary problems, knees, eyesight, etc., etc.

Well, I am a senior and I absolutely refuse to discuss these issues with everyone else. If I have a problem, I find a solution. It is not always the solution that I like, but I handle it the best way I know and I dont discuss it with every person I see on the street that is past 62. No sir....

With this in mind, I bought myself a new scooter. I wanted something that was easy on gas and could zip me to the store and about town. This seems to meet my EVERY need. I love it!

Remember:

Senior Citizens Are Valuable

We are more valuable than any of the younger generations:

We have silver in our hair.

We have gold in our teeth.

We have stones in our kidneys.

We have lead in our feet and ....

We are loaded with natural gas.

看完這篇短文 ，您覺得呢 ?  其實上了年紀，由於身體的老化，多多少少都會有一些小毛病，我個人的生活態度和作者一樣豁達幽默，有問題想辦法解決，不喜歡訴苦，喜歡分享正向的經驗，正如這位作者把所有老化現象說得如此有價值感，是不是很正向呢 ? 您是不是屬於「老而彌堅」一族呢 ? 我是!
