OLD<br />
What everyone wants to become,<br />
but nobody wants to be...<br />
The desire for youth and eternal life is as old as humanity. Stories about fountains of<br />
youth or the philosopher's stone have survived into our high-tech world and are even<br />
used in Hollywood blockbusters to lure in audiences. We have made friends with<br />
many of the laws of the universe, but not with aging.<br />
Many downright fear everything that is connected<br />
with the word. And attempts are being made<br />
to delay it as long as possible. Aging changes<br />
everyone in different ways, and it also changes<br />
itself with developments in research and society.<br />
So why are we so reluctant to throw our arms<br />
in the air like we did during the last business<br />
coaching and shout: “Hurray! Change is great!”<br />
Is it because we are helplessly exposed to this<br />
particular change? Nor does it seem to help to<br />
know that everyone, without exception, has to<br />
bear this burden at some point.<br />
CHRONOLOGICAL AND<br />
BIOLOGICAL AGE<br />
When you start to feel old and when you are,<br />
by definition, old depends on many factors.<br />
While the average life expectancy for men is<br />
78 years today, it was 65.8 years in 1957.<br />
