A brand new car is much smoother to drive as compared to the one that’s 10 years old and has done a hundred thousand kilometres.
But again, not all old cars are the same.
The ones that have been looked after well, were serviced at regular intervals and had the right maintenance done at the right time, generally are in a much better condition.
The same principle applies to humans as well.
As youngsters, we are full of energy. We set ourselves ambitious goals and hope to work tirelessly to achieve them.
With age, we take on more and more responsibilities, get exhausted and gradually slow down.
However, the ones that are aware enough to look after themselves, take regular breaks and play it at their pace, generally stay active for a longer time.
