10 THINGS TO DO BEFORE
YOU GET TOO OLD
You’ll never be as young as you are today, and that means it’s time to get moving.
These are the top ten things you are supposed to do before you get too old!
1. Learn a language Even if it’s Klingon. It’s good for the brain, and the earlier you start
the easier it is.
2. Travel Is there anything sadder than a passport that’s never been used?
3. Be fabulous. There’s nothing to be scared of.
4. Reject false idols As author David Foster Wallace put it: ‘if you worship money you will
never have enough…worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will
always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before
they finally plant you.’
5. Make music Getting good at a musical instrument takes a long time, and as you age
you lose some dexterity . The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll be great.
6. Sing Doesn’t matter where, doesn’t matter when. Singing has proven positive effects on
your brain and body.
7. Save The best time to start saving is yesterday, whether that’s for a car or something
more practical such as a pension.
8. Call your mother It’s a little thing to you, but it means a lot to her.
9. Experiment With fashion, with food, with culture,…How will you know whether you like
something if you don't try it?
10. Write that novel Push yourself to achieve whatever creative dream you have.
