the Privileges of being older

when we got older, we could do many (i.e. non-zero) unthinkable things while we're young:

1) we don't whine over petty things, such as when we're hungry, unhappy, and etc

2) we become more optimistic for we know we have nothing to lose in this world (the fact that we'll b dead sooner or later)

3) we tend to please our parents in any way possible, while we, ourselves, compromise our own happiness

4) we become more responsible towards ourselves for we realize we got no one we should constantly cling on whenever we're in trouble

5) we don't be afraid of darkness - in fact, even ghosts don't scare us anymore..anyway, does ghost really exist??? .haha, this reminds me how scared i was while i was a kid

6) we tend to make every things working by our own, before seeking help from others

7) we start to believe that, "if others could do, so could i"

8) we believe we could make the world better than it was, with our own way

9) we stop doing unnecessary things, which bring no benefits to us, and people surrounding us

10) we start to be very selective in choosing friends

11) ......
