It is what the heart feels. True age is measured not by years, but by spirit\u2014by curiosity, courage, and the willingness to keep learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one wise saying goes: <em>we are as young as our hope, and as old as our fear.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout life, many great minds have reminded us of this simple truth. Those who continue to learn remain young. Those who lose enthusiasm grow old, no matter their years. Youthfulness is not preserved by dyeing hair or hiding wrinkles\u2014it lives in the mind and the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Personal Reflection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was around 50, my hair began to turn grey. Friends advised me to dye it. I smiled and replied, half joking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have been waiting for my hair to turn grey\u2014so I may look wiser.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind the joke was a quiet acceptance. Ageing is natural. It is not something to hide, but something to wear with dignity\u2014and perhaps even humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lessons from a Teacher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My former Head of Surgery, Professor Dr. U Khin Maung Gyi, once joked that a \u201cperfect royal surgeon\u201d must have three qualities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A bald head<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A big tummy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And piles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because people associate baldness with wisdom, a large belly with success, and discomfort with carefulness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was, of course, a joke\u2014but like all good humour, it revealed something deeper: society often judges age by appearances. Yet appearances can be misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The King Who Refused to Be Old<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a famous story of King Alaungsithu. When his ministers quietly mocked the signs of ageing on his body, the king decided to teach them a lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disguising himself, he rode out as a powerful and fearless warrior, performing feats of strength and horsemanship that none could match. When the ministers later reported that such a rider could not possibly be an ordinary man, the king revealed himself and declared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cYou think I am old\u2014but I am not yet old.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His message was clear: strength, courage, and vitality do not disappear simply because the years advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Spirit of \u201cMy Way\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Frank Sinatra, My Way, With Lyrics\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6E2hYDIFDIU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The famous song <em>My Way<\/em> expresses something similar\u2014not about age, but about how one lives life. Not with regret, but with courage. Not by following others blindly, but by choosing one\u2019s own path and standing firm through challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We may stumble. We may face doubt. But what matters is that we rise again, stand tall, and continue forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Old Tree That Blooms Again<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/myanmarmuslim.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-24.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myanmarmuslim.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-24.png 400w, https:\/\/myanmarmuslim.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-24-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Burmese poet Min Thu Wun beautifully described an old Pyinma tree stump\u2014gnarled, scarred, and weathered by time.
