How To Stay Young, by Ibrahim Almugrin

After retired you can do many things to stay young for example, you can do a part-time job, like, you can open a small business and spend 4-6 hours a day working. Also you can work in a company or be a consultant in a company. In addition, you can buy a small garden and do gardening if you like.

You can do exercise to stay young every day for a few hours like walking or running to keep your health strong. If you are lazy, you will get ill.

Another way to keep youthful is to start learning a new subject you did not take before to increase your skill. For instance, learning a foreign language is beneficial so you can enjoy travelling.

Finally you can improve your social life by travelling to discover the world and take relaxation. Also it is a good idea to be with your family, for example, to go on a picnic. And always do shopping by yourself. Moreover, meeting your friends is good because it is nice to change your activities once in a while.


In my country people when they reach 60 don’t want to do hard work or work as a part time worker and don’t like to walk and they always use transport like a car. In addition, they don’t like washing up dishes or ironing. They only want their relatives to serve them.

In England there’s the opposite. I see old men working, walking and do shopping like young people. Also I have noticed that old people work in restaurants, cleaning and doing hard jobs. This is the life. Life does not stop depending on age, it only stops when your brain or heart stops.
