노화의 진실
친구인데 왜 나는 늙어 보이고 저 친구는 젊어 보일까?
배우나 예술가들은 어떻게 항상 젊어 보일까?
누구나 한 번쯤은 품어 봤던 이런 소박한 의문에
대부분 자기 나름의 답을 준비했을 것이다.
그러나 답은 아주 간단명료하다.
마음이 젊다.
이 한마디에 다 들어 있다.
마음이 젊기에 패션이든 소품이든 젊은것을 고른다.
마음이 젊으니 행동도 자유로워진다.
그러면 마음도 가벼워져 항상 발랄하게 움직이게 된다.
그런 사람은 여성이든 남성이든 화려해서 눈에 띈다.
젊어 보이는 사람은 돋보인다.
가만히 있어도 사람들의 이목을 집중시킨다.
지금까지 내가 노래를 불러왔던 80세의 벽이란 따지고 보면
나이의 주박이 가장 큰 원인이다.
나이를 잊어버려라!!!

The Truth About Aging
Why do I look older while my friend looks younger?
How do actors and artists always seem to stay youthful?
Everyone has probably pondered these simple questions at least once.
Most people come up with their own explanations,
but the answer is actually quite simple: a young mind.
When your mind is young,
you naturally choose youthful fashion and accessories.
A youthful mindset brings freedom in action,
making you feel lighter and more energetic.
Such people, whether men or women,
naturally stand out with their vibrant presence.
They catch people’s attention effortlessly.
The so-called "age 80 barrier" that I’ve been emphasizing
for so long ultimately stems from the shackles of age.
Forget your age!
--From , Age? A Cheerful Rebellion--
The author was born in Osaka in 1960 and is a Japanese psychiatrist and geriatric medicine expert. His book, Age? A Cheerful Rebellion, is based on years of research and clinical experience, offering insights into maintaining a youthful mind in old age.
Wada Hideki emphasizes that being overly conscious of age—what he calls the "shackles of age"—accelerates both mental and physical aging. Instead of living a monotonous and predictable life in old age, he encourages readers to embrace a second youth, waking up each day with excitement and a spirit of adventure.
While we cannot stop the passage of time, whether we live as weary old individuals or as vibrant, mature, and truly happy people is entirely our choice.
