What will you be like at 85?

What will you be like at 85?
你希望如何過八十五歲的生活?

I had the chance to do a concert at a family event last week at the Water Conservation Park. It was a lot of fun, even though it was very hot. The highlight of the show was getting encored and having a group of “older ladies” come up and join me in dancing to my newest dance song “Zoom Zoom”. These ladies could really move. The most inspiring one was the woman with the blue shirt. She couldn’t get enough dancing, even when her daughter tried to get her to sit down to rest. She stubbornly refused and kept dancing to the beat.

我有機會在自來水管的活動表演。 真的很好玩雖然很熱。 特別讓我感動是被encore 及有一群婆婆和我一起跳舞。 這些女人真會跳! 特別是穿藍色上衣的那位。 他不斷的跳雖然家屬想把他拉回座位。 他不願意而繼續發揮。

I was amazed to find out that she was 85 years old! I don’t know about you, but I picture 85 to be a time of rest and perhaps frailty. I certainly don’t picture someone who is lively and willing to get up and dance in front of a crowd. She really inspired me. Hopefully I’ll be just as crazy when I’m 85…maybe even when I’m 120!

不可相信他已經八十五歲了! 我以前認為八十五歲的人因該很氨的人因該很安靜,需要多休息,也許有點脆弱。 想像不到八十五歲還可以風俇地在觀眾前發揮活力。 他真的讓我感動。 希望我八十五歲,甚至120歲也可以像他一樣風俇!
