How do you calculate your age? Is it calculated through achievement or impact in society or age only?
Many people live a certain age, sometimes they leave this life without the influence of those around them or leave a positive impact that benefits the community after their departure.
How do you calculate your age? Is it calculated through achievement or impact in society or age only?.
Most recent answer
How do you know you're old? In younger years I would not have come to the following answer, but it corresponds exactly to what I do regularly: I read the obituaries in the newspaper and see that many people who have just died were younger than I am. A few older ones, who are finally dead, I also discover in the mourning advertisements. I used not to be interested in this "reading" at all.

Age is calculated by the seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years. It is very simple to know ones age by adding all these (given above) together.

Age could be calculated in any way, numbers are concrete form of calculating age, others are abstract way to see age, and the difference one maked in other people's lives can be true indicator, how actually one lived.

I think that age is related to your achievements that honors not disgracing you. Look to our Prophet Mohammad you feel he is with you always as humanity can never forget his high standard achievements.

I have no calculation for age, unfortunately I have a lot to do to finish some projejcts which cost a lot of valuable life time, but it is for posteriority. So many people have lost their influence after their death, the number of them I am not interested to increase, no, things run quite normal, and okay.

Your view of life and your understanding of its details is what makes you feel the importance of the physical age that a person is dealing with when the manifestations of aging begin.

I think sometimes we're disappointed because of a period of time without any achievement. However, with time our expectations are the next will be better for our achievements. We must Accept the fact that age is age only.

Age is calculated normally according to how many years you have lived. But sometimes it is your choice to calculate it otherwise.

Unfortunately I am too old, but my loved ones count exactly my years, and find that some year anniversary is due again. You are as old as you are. I find that very pleasant. It's easy to make a miscalculation. But the environment helps.

Life expectancy is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live, based on the year of its birth, its current age and other demographic factors including gender.

Of course, and if I add my body-index and my exhaust values, I'd have to be a dead man by now. The only comforting certainty that remains: Life expectancy can be different, but death will certainly come.

Age can serve as legitimation or justification for different purposes. Sometimes one is proud that one has still achieved a certain achievement despite one's advanced age, sometimes one's own age serves to use achievements that are no longer quite as good as they used to be as an explanation. I think that is quite normal. Society doesn't play an important role in this proceeding.

Though age is simply a number but there are many things to be considered. Say, a man 60 years with hard working is one kind when another man 60 years with almost nothing or in nuisance in the society is another consideration. Finally, for the considerations of empirical experiences to be considered only for age, nothing more.

Age can be calculated according to the intention of the person . It can be calculated according to the number of years since the date of birth or according to the number of the best achievements on has made.

One should have a good relationship to one's age at every age. There are many people who want to forget their old age through facial surgery, hair colouring or youthful clothing. A long-lasting inner contentment cannot be produced by such cosmetics.

If you know that you won't live much longer and you get this knowledge mainly through advancing age, but not through a current life-shortening illness, then you deal more critically with the still available time budget.

I think also: the years of my life, age, is the decisive standard, because the own feeling may change: Sometimes I feel younger, sometimes I feel nearer to my awaited end.
