"The pride of youth is in strength and beauty, the pride of old age is in discretion." Democritus

So where does that put me ?? .. I think in my case the quote would make more sense if it was backwards...

The truth is .. im Young n discreet ... so Maby when i get older .. i might have pride in my strength n beauty :P

oscuroabismo , yeah you have a point ! i appreciate you passin by!

babasteve thank you! :)

* /\/o/\/aaaaaaa turNed iRisH :o * thanx babe! im happy u got the message! i tried mixing up youthfulness and the old at the same time by photoshoping my hand n making it look old n i think from ur comment IT does look old big-time LOL .. Yeah walla .. grandmas r the greatest .. hahaha at the braids .. yup they're experts in that field.. sadly when grandmas start getting really old n they start loosing it.. it really hurts to see how harsh old age can get .. bas sub7anallah god works in mysterious ways w allah ye7fa'6 w yer7am el jmee3! thanx babe for passin!!

NeyaDi-gitaL thanx NeyaDi .. ill be more careful with the details next time ! thanx for the advice n i appreciate u passin !

Nas ... Lost in Newport ok AY WAYHE .. can you be more optimistic?! :P Well yeah i have obviously thought about that, bas el7mdilah ive been blessed with it all Discretion, beauty , and strength ! ..

but the beauty that i mentioned earlier in my description is the "inner beauty"

At a young age its basically the *outer beauty* that gets developed.. ur born with it, which then by the help of the developing personality can form a character that u can twist , turn pull and push the way you like!

Its the inner beauty that in my opinion will start to greatly develop when a person reaches a certain age where they dont sweat the small stuff (materialistic things that are pointless and that they could live without).

Im sure all of you have seen people who catch your eye although they aren't good looking and certainly not beautiful by magazine and movie standards.
These people are self-confident. The way they walk , talk , and the fact that they are intimately aware of their surroundings have a great impact on other people.

They're magnetic and by getting older and learning from the many situations you encounter in life, u can then know that inner beauty comes for instance when a person knows that there is great power in politeness and subtlety , or when a person realizes that character is more important that popularity. Getting to know ur abilities and creating your own reality.. this makes you stand out! n i really dont think its possible for the youth to realize this.. n THAT my friend is why i mentioned that inner beauyt in my case is " in process" and will be greatly developed by age!

CoOoP ur totally right .. bas hal zeman people are too caught up with the materialistic part of life n dont value themselves enough to work on being strong , discreet and being beautiful inside and out. Hom wayed mehtameen with the outer look, well that helps if people judge who you are by ur looks n sadly .. people do that those days!

Something bout this photo that really appeals to me for sure...

The quote is tricky...i mean i agree that in youth those are the main strengths and that's why i regard a young person who can be strong in looks & beauty AS WELL AS personality...to be someone that is very mature...cause for some people to reach that patience, wiseness & stability it takes a long time...at the same time, being old is already tiring, so i don't agree completely with being discrete...sometimes you find these really cute & funny old-people that you enjoy hanging out with...so all in all i think a person should have a balance of all those things whatever the age, but for sure age plays a big role...

And HEYYYY aahhhhh don't see no ring on ma finger ehehehe...

* /\/o/\/aaaaaaa * hahaha yeh the old granny shriveled up hands are mine :P after ive photoshoped it! allah yeshfee ur grandma wey5aleeha lich enshalla sweets!! wnshalla matshoof ela el 5air!

MRAI yeah true .. but no ones perfect.. some people lack the whole package .. but they should work on it though :)

Nas what u said does make a point bigitme .. n it got me thinking .. u should always find the right mixture and keep it consistant even when u get old!

And HEYYY that aint YO RING on ma finger ehehehe.... thats another ring .. ur ring is safe is my jewelery box :P
