Why Become Old Means Getting Better

KOMPAS.com-Aging doesn't always indicate bad things to come. The phrase that "wisdom appears as increasing age" may be true it is.

Although not all would probably feel it, but a recent study published by the Journal of Social Sciences and Medicine shows that when increasing age, we are growing with more feeling happy and satisfied.  It seems counter-intuitive, but it does prove to be experienced by both men and women in South America and some parts of the world.

How does this happen? Here are a few reasons: 1. reach a low point at the age of 44 years

Research scholars in South America and the United Kingdom on the basis of data collected from men and women in 80 countries over the past 35 years, regardless of gender, nationality or status of the economics of human welfare, tend to experience in the form of "u" curve with the smallest year fulfilled falls at the age of early to mid-40s. Thus, the age increases, welfare has also risen.

2. how to view improved when reaching the age of 50

Researchers who study about the Middle Ages also found similar evidence that once we reach the age of 40 's--or after undergoing a "mid-life crisis"--the mood (mood) we improved, as well as with various other things. This may happen because we have the more intelligent, at least about some things. Some kind of mental load also actually become easier when we stepped on the age of 50 to 60 's, because we apply accumulated knowledge or "crystallized intelligence" to the new information. 3. we are becoming more "goal-oriented."

At the age of 20 and 30 's, the we set high standards for themselves both in personal and professional. If we don't reach that goal by the standards you want when you reach the 40s, this is the moment where we are likely to experience depression and dissatisfaction related to the middle ages. But, at the age of 50 's, the we are becoming more realistic, more worried about things that really matter that can give you a sense of fulfillment (fulfillment), so then we started to set new goals and return focus to achieve it. 4. Find satisfaction in the achievement of

If we spent the beginning of the Decade by identifying themselves as maturity the lyrics of "(Can't Get No) Satisfaction" from the Rolling Stones. Is not the case when the age reached 50 and 60s, because at this stage we are likely to change the way perspective and our hearts.

After checking the reality and formulate age 40an re-purpose as well as an update, we become more able to use the rest of the age to see everything clearly and appreciate the process where we come from, how can we get there, and what we have achieved along the way.
