The Elder Person
There are three time periods in our life that exist in our mind; the teenagers, the
middle-age adults, and the elder persons. There are three words to describe the three
kind of person: teenagers are energetic, and they can do whatever they want to do;
middle-age adults own the absolutely power. They are handling the whole family
including their children and their parents; Last but not least, the elder person is
uncontrolled. They can go traveling, go hiking and other relaxing activities. However,
there are also many pressures for them. For the teenagers, the academic pressures are
surrounding them all the time; for the middle-age adults, they need to take care of
their children and also need to look after their parents; for the elder people, they
should always take care of what they eat to keep health.
Most of the elder person are enjoying their life time and doing something they
want to do. For instance, my grandmother is over 70, she prefer to travel around
China. She had been to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other famous city in China.
I can see she is really enjoy travelling when she was telling me where had she been to
and what gifts she bought for me and my parents. It is beneficial for the elder people
to go traveling with the convenient transportation. Firstly, if it was 50 years ago, the
transportation is not developed, and it is hard for the generation of my grandmother to
go other cities, and they can not go very far from the city they lived. Furthermore, it is
also a chance to bourdon the elder people’s eyes. There is no doubt that travelling can
give many new things to people. Last but not least, it can make the time become
valuable for them. If they are not go travelling, they will stay at home and do some
housework. Comparing to that, travelling is more worthwhile than staying at home.
There are also some elder people creating their carrier even they know they are
over 60s. For instance, the founder of the KFC, he created the restaurant over 65 years
old. Before that, no one knows what KFC is. However, when he had succeeded in
selling his cooking methods and creates the KFC successfully at over 65, he becomes
a famous person in the world. This example is not only encourage the teenagers and
the middle-age person to not give up, but also encourages the elder people not to give
up their life.
