Looking and growing younger more than half the age

I recently watched the movie, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"  

The plot is about a man who was born old, and how he progresses through life backwards, and grows younger as time goes by. It makes me wonder is it really a good thing to trim the age by more than half, and become younger and younger each day. In general, the society has this obsession of youth, and as I grow older, I refuse to grow older, but hope to grow wiser. What if there is really a way to stop aging, will I do it?

I remember this Chinese quote from somewhere that says, " As one grows older, you gain more wisdom and lose more innocence.". Somehow we tend to equip wisdom with age, but trust me, I had met some older people who are not necessary wise at all, the person may be more experienced, however, not necessarily wiser.

One of the quotes from the movie, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is the following from a letter he had written to his daughter:

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”

This quote really strikes me, I hope I always have the strength to start all over again even when I eventually realize my journey maybe more than half way through.
