To stay young perpetually learn something new each and every year of your life. This is something I have done almost religiously since I was 35, and I am now preparing to celebrate my 35th birthday for the 17th time in two months. I learned to fly fish, took up canoeing, then flytying, then skiing, crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, mountain biking, trail biking, long distance road cycling, bicycle mechanics and building, kilting, new adventurous areas in my job, advanced photography, computers, digital photography, on and on and on. New things keep you in that youthful thinking and learning mentality, instead of the sitting in a rocking chair knitting or reading or watching the paint peel. You are not dead until your brain dies, so keep that puppy active with some sort of mental treadmill, and changing things up helps keep things interesting.
