Quote by Helene Lagerberg

When you are young, you think.When you are old, you reflect.The very same but yet a life of difference.


When you are young, you think.When you are old, you reflect.

Summary

The quote implies that although thinking and reflection are similar cognitive processes, they represent different stages of life and the evolution of one's mindset over time. It suggests that as we age, our priorities and perspectives change, resulting in a distinctive life journey.
