It's great to have full use over your faculties, but for just a second, lend your mind to the plight of the elderly who reach the later stages of their lives and don't have that wonderful full control that we (well, most of us) take for granted.
It's not the nicest way to finish up you life, but it's almost accepted as the way it is. I say no more!
There is a way to delay the onset of age related memory loss - By keeping your mind sharp and active.
The End Of The Line
At some stage we will lose some portion of our mental capacity, agility and aptitude. It's going to happen and we stop that, but what I say no more to is accepting that we have to start losing our better minds so early.
If you see people who are 70 years of age and they still seem young it's probably because they have kept their mind and body active. It seems that the more physical you are the longer you keep the ability to walk and all the ensuing dexterity.
It also seems that keeping your mind fresh and active can lead to longer use of your mental function.
Keep It Fresh
Just like a child doesn't worry about superannuation, middle age adults care not for their memory simply because they think they will have it for ever, but the dark truth is you may only be a decade away from the start of the deterioration.
Don't let it set in.
I believe that protecting your memory and building your intelligence is one of the most productive and fun things you can do.
All you need is the thirst for knowledge and you can go about getting some really good brain teasers and stretching that mind laterally and really work that gray matter into a sharpened tool.
The Power Of The Mind
Has anyone ever thought how funny it is that our own mind can make the conscious effort to make itself stronger? That's some seriously deep and philosophical stuff if your really think about it.
The mind is so powerful and can beget so many great things that it kind of stands to reason that we should develop our mind to it's full potential in order to make the most out of our brain.
They say that ignorance is the enemy of education, so imagine if everyone furthered their education? There would be so much less ignorance based hate crimes and prejudice based violence.
That's the world I want to live in - How About You?
