  id say that this is bery true beacuse people dont fell old in terms of their age but in how much information they hold in their heads.

  I don't agree with this because people are naturally resistant to change, so this statement would apply to any age group really. >
  
  I think people in their 20s can be old and in their 80s young If we're talking about one's mind/spirit (not physical). If you're talking about physical that's a different ballpark. 
  I associate a willingness to change and grow with the idea of youth. I also associate youth with discovery and curiosity. When I think of the idea of old, it's being rigid and annoyed at change, an unwillingness to accept that you're way is not always going to be the best or even good. 
  I think keeping the mindset of a student is the way to stay in youth. Always learning and often reflecting. Maybe a short way to put it would be a zest for life. >
  
  Well, you don't have to participate, you just have to be willing to understand the changing world on some basic level.
