For example, "you're only as young as you feel."
How one feels is not merely a matter of optimism or wishful thinking,
it's far more likely to be an objective indicator of good health.
Research shows that people's chronological age is often very different to their real physical age.
A fit sixty-year-old can have the bone density, heart-rate and energy of a forty-year-old,
while an obese forty-year-old can have diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.
Practice makes perfect.
Well, not so fast there, Word Warriors. Since true perfection can never be attained, practicing with it as a goal, as the main goal, or as the singular goal, are all exercises in futility. One can achieve a high level of success, sure, but cannot ever achieve perfection, simply because perfection doesn’t exist. Secondly, the concept that practice is the only way to succeed ignores concepts such as natural ability and plain dumb luck. Some achievements can be reached with little or no practice whatsoever.
Great question; I hope it garners many answers as provocative and intriguing as the query itself.
