Title: 65 Davon sind 39 – Wie dieses Zahlenspiel unsere Lebensveränderung bringen kann (65 are 39 – How this number game can change our lives)
Intrigued by the title?
I bet you’re wondering what “65 davon sind 39” means.
Let me explain!
This German phrase translates to “Sixty-five are thirty-nine.” It’s a simple mathematical puzzle that hides an important life lesson.
Imagine you have a group of people, sixty-five in total. Now, consider this: thirty-nine of them are younger than thirty years old. This may not seem significant at first, but bear with me.
Case Study: I once worked for a company where the average age was sixty-four. Though experienced, these employees often resisted new technologies and ideas. On the other hand, my previous startup had an average age of thirty-five – a team full of young, innovative minds!
Research shows that having a diverse workforce with different ages brings numerous benefits (source: Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie). The “young” employees bring fresh ideas and energy, while the “older” ones share wisdom and experience.
Now let’s apply this to our own lives. Think about your friend circle or social circles.
Are they diverse in age?
If not, you might be missing out on valuable experiences and perspectives.
An experiment by Harvard University proved that interacting with people of different ages can improve cognitive function (source: Harvard Health Publishing). So, make an effort to meet new people, especially those outside your age group.
Comparisons: Just like the numbers in our puzzle, our lives are made up of experiences and encounters. Each one adds another layer, making us who we are. And, just as sixty-five can be thirty-nine in numbers, we too can “be” younger or older in spirit.
Quote from psychologist Erik Erikson: “To be seventeen years old is a very different thing than to be seventeen years young.”
Thought-provoking question: Have you ever met someone much older who seemed younger than you?
Or someone younger who appeared older?
What made the difference?
In conclusion, remember that numbers don’t define us; our experiences and mindset do. Embrace diversity in age, as it brings new perspectives and enriches our lives.
