When I was young I used to be a carefree person. Loed to go out with friends and party anywhere. I never worry about tomorrow.
On my 40th birhtday inside my room. I caught myself crying and asking myself where am I? Who am I now? What did I do with my life? Ireached more than half my life but it seems I have nothing to call my own. Nothing to passed on to my love ones.
It is true that life begins at 40. It is the time wherein you assess what you have done in your life.

Do not ponder on what is past work on the Future
I am 46 in a few Weeks and I am disabled now but I still live and I always say you are as old as you feel not the Age you are
Yes it is a shock at first like it will be again for me when I turn 50 as you do wonder where the years have gone but you have to go on and make the best of things

Hello Mister Plus. If I hadn't gone through your discussions, I wouldn't have known that I was not the only person who had something in mind about reaching forty.
I had the same feeling as you had. I just had a terrible feeling at forty thinking that I was an old man. Now I am glad that I don't have that feeling again. I think that it is good to be forty and I am still enjoying my happy life with a lot of fun. I think that it is reasonable to say that 'Life begins at forty.' It is time for us to know more about what life is and how we can live a better life. We cannot always expect to be young, but if you feel young in your heart, then you are young however old you are. I hope that you are ok now about the age forty, dear Mister Plus.

To be forty is a big deal for a man to concentrate more on what has to be done.
