Old age is no place for SISSYs

Old age is no place for SISSYs

I heard this on a tv program & immediately identified with it.

What words of wisdom have influenced you or defined your life.

Some cause happiness wherever they go - others, 'whenever' they go ....

If you think sunshine brings you happiness - then, you haven't danced in the rain......

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again - this time with hindsight .....

Re: Old age is no place for SISSYs

Not sure 'old age' has much to do with it does it? I mean the die is cast long before then surely. I've adopted attitudes and practises that were forged a long time ago and and held firmly to them.

I will go along with that but again I knew that quite some time ago.

Can't say any one thing has influenced me that much, just an assortment of stuff from all aspects of my life. As far as I'm concerned life is a bit of a struggle with old age but a part of it. I will say though that having an enquiring mind has helped me find the bits that I needed to come to terms with a lot of things. So for me having an enquiring mind has been the key as opposed to any words of wisdom that is.

Thanks Pats, a down to earth view. I too have learnt valuable lessons from people I couldn’t get on with, however life is full of surprises.
