There are a lot of things we can enjoy regardless of our age. However, it is true that people often could not try to do something because of their age, because the old people tend to have health problem or less opportunities than young people. So, I agree with the idea that young poeple enjoy life more than older people.
First of all, nowadays, a lot of activities we can do required physical health. Because most of the hobbyies people have such in hiking, swimming, and even yoga, need to move our body actively. As a result, there are some kind of things the old people can not easily do. For example, one of my coworkers who is 20 years older than me has heart desese. He wants to go hiking every mornig, but he could not. He envied my youth and health at all times, saying, "you have to thank the fact that you can do whatever you want because of your youth." It makes me realize that I am happy just because of my young age, and I need to do something when I can do.
Secondly, I think young people have much more opportunities than the eldery people. Young people have more time to focus on their own than old people. For example, I have a younger sister who is a university student. She traveled Europe for about a month by herself. On contrary, I have to work during that time, so I couldn't go there together. I really wanted to go, but I do not have much time to go anyhow. I regret that I did not go a lot of place before I got a job. In this sense, I think young people have less limitation to do than the old people.
To sum up, young people are physically heathy and have a lot of chances to do than old people. For these reasons, tI think they need to consentrate on their task they are doing. Because the youth not last forever and finally they will also get older. They should know that the fact that there are nothing more important than time. |
