Do you know how to age?

Found this article on one of my course website, this title particularly appealed to me for a good reason. However, it wasn't really about how to age physically. The first line wrote

"You grow older only when you stop seeing the potential in life"

I feel this is quite true as I am experiencing some form of mental aging at the moment as I've not realised my own potential, especially academically. Think the problem lies in the many distractors at my workstation at home, but I still refused to let go of them. This is so troubling. I will have to find some other ways to effectively implement my revisions, if not very soon, I'll become an old man mentally.

On the contrary, my physical outlook doesn't suggest I have aged much since I was secondary school(Kindergarten and Primary School friends might think otherwise). Many strangers whom I met will mistake me for a secondary school boy (Should take this as an insult -- R & J Act1 scene5, Lord Capulet called Tybalt a boy, and Tybalt took it as an insult, should be correct, but verify yourself if you are interested), but it is sometimes a good thing that people think that way. Anyway I'm already numbed and it don't really matter to me whether people mistake me for a secondary school kid. Just hope that it won't be so ridiculous as one of my aunt suggested that the TP may stop me on the road and ask me for my license cause he doubt I was at legal age to drive.
